Wait, what? (screenshot #1)
Do I read this correctly: Artists submit their work for an auction, and if they're selected and the painting sells, they get between 0% and 15% of the selling price.
Oh, they list "benefits" (screenshot #2). Let's see.
> All selected artists will be included in our robust promotional campaigns.
Oh, you'll use my art in an ad campaign for free. Awesome. I'm gonna be famous.
> Artists will receive bidder information from their sold artwork after the Auction.
Do we get their cell number and the name of the school attended by their children? I can't wait to stalk them.
> All artist applicants will have their work seen by local art-world luminaries who jury the work for inclusion consideration.
Sweet, a jury of local randos will get to see my painting.
> Your contribution as an Auction Artist directly supports ArtSpan’s programs, and has a positive impact on our local art community.
Sounds like an ineffective way for artists to give their money to other artists.
You know what, I'll skip this and focus on making art.
