I accept the Terms & Conditions of bestcollegeart.com

You should be in an art college or should have passed out of an art college in the last 7 years. We also welcome artists without any formal training in art to post their works as we believe great art is made from the heart and with passion, it cannot be taught in classrooms.

You can upload your best 5 works directly on the website, the size of the images have to be 300 dpi and not more than that.Actually you set your own price, the website charges a 30 % commission on the price to pay for marketing, website hosting, administration expenses and service tax in addition to free courier charges for the buyer. So the buyer does not pay any shipping charges, Bestcollegeart.com pays the shipping charges except for sculptures.

What you have to do is have an all inclusive price. If you price a work at Rs 10,000, then you will receive Rs 7000 within 60 days of the work selling. This initiative not only gives you a chance to sell your work but be noticed by prominent gallerists and important collectors. All money earned by the website will be invested back into marketing and operational costs so that we can reach more people and have them collect art. The Advisory board has mandated this venture to be investing any money earned in art related activities.

Peter Nagy from Nature Morte will curate the first ever online exhibition of his top picks loaded on bestcollegeart.com in the summer of 2010. It is your chance to be noticed by him and also the collecting world. We also through this initiative are aiming to increase the collector base in the country, there are very few collectors buying art, due to our marketing initiatives and also excellent display, we believe we would be attracting many more new collectors.

More than anything else, this initiative puts the power of choice in your hands, you choose the works to upload and the price. We will have top curators, gallerists, art collectors and critics curate an exhibition every 3 months so new collectors always have an expert advise.

We would like all artists to be conservative with the price, do not have high prices, keep them low, and let collectors get comfortable buying your work, word of mouth will ensure you will get many buyers.

There is no charge to be on the website, we are funding the initial hosting charges for all artists. All works will be displayed for 180 days after which they will get automatically deleted from the website, this is to keep fresh content on the website always. In case, you would like your work to be displayed longer than 180 days, then we will send you an email after 150 days if you wish to renew at an additional cost. We allow you to sell on the site post 180 days for a nominal charge which which helps us to put more free artists on the site.

Please note that you cannot sell these works directly or anywhere else for the first 6 months except bestcollegeart.com. So it will be a binding contract for these 5 works or if you decide to load lower than 5 works then please load less number of works. Please put your best art works on for galleries and collectors to notice. This has been done to ensure that collectors get confirmed delivery and when a collector books a work, he is not told that it is already sold.

Once a buyer has bought an art work, you will get an email informing you of the same, our shipping company will come and pick up your work within 5 days, shipping charges will be paid by us, and you will get your money within 60 days.

Please ensure that the work is not damaged and packed properly, all work below or 24 by 24 inches should be framed,wrapped in bubble paper and also crated in a wooden box before it is picked up by the courier company. All work over that should be rolled carefully in a bubble paper and then in a PVC tube ready for packing.

All sculptures pricing should also include packing cost in a proper wooden crate with bubble paper and protective cushioning, if the work breaks, the broken work will be returned to the artist, hence it is important you pack it carefully. All sculpture images being loaded should give the weight of the sculpture also, this is mandatory.

Please note the curatorial board of the website will be watching for quality and price, if your works are too repetitive then we may delete them and if the price quoted is too high then the works may be deleted again. We do not accept any works more than Rs.1,50,000 in value, that is the absolute highest and over that please email us if your pricing needs to be higher with the reasons and pricing logic.

Please note that after you have loaded the works on the website, they may take anything between 7-10 days to appear on the website as they will all be approved before they are loaded, no queries will be entertained due to too much loading pressure. All decisions of Bestcollegeart.com will be final and binding on all artists.

In case of any query, please write to us at indianartreview@gmail.com

Come and be a part of this magical journey into the world of International Contemporary art !

Only time will tell, if this initiative gives us our next Damien Hirst or Subodh Gupta !

You will have to upload all 5 your works within 24 hours or preferably together to avail of our complimentary display and sale offer.

Please note that all damaged works will be returned back and courier charges would be debited to the artists. Also, buyers can return any defective works within 7 days of receiving the works. We will take the buyers word as final in this matter as a principle of good faith.
