Commission charges if artist’s works are sold by Wow Art Magazine
The main purpose of Wow Art Magazine is to help artists sell their works on UAE-market and to help designers find the appropriate art pieces that suit the interior design, that is why all works in the magazine must be for sale, or the artist must be able to commission very similar works to the one represented in the magazine.
Wow Art Magazine will charge an additional commission on all sales. This commission will be added to the sell price determined by the artist. The added commission will vary according to the artwork cost and attractiveness to buyers.

After Selection
If selected, the artist's short bio and works are featured in Wow Art Magazine Vol.I. All the works in the magazine are priced. This magazine is distributed among interior designers, architects in the UAE.
If the interior designer or any other person likes your work, the designer contacts our sales department with the intention of buying your work.
We contact you, check for availability, and supply you with the shipping address.
The artist has to pack the work, ship it, and when the buyer receives an artwork, the artist receives a payment in 10 working days.
As Wow Art Magazine adds its commission on the price determined by the artist, so the payment made by Wow Art Magazine will equal the price determined by the artist. Nevertheless, some platforms can charge a transaction fee for receiving transactions; these fees are paid by the artists.
The shipping of the works to the buyer is the full responsibility of the artist, which includes, but is not limited to, shipping costs, any applicable fees, and insurance costs. Works may also be dropped directly at the office of Wow Art Magazine in Dubai.
