**A Note about Art Sales: Artists maintain 100% of sales price.** The Almenara collection will direct buyers directly to artists' websites and won’t take part in the transactions or shipping process. Artist’s contact information will be included in the online exhibit. Artworks can be for sale or not. If they are not available for sale, they will not have options to be chosen for the acquisition awards. As your artwork can be for sale or not, note the following: If your work is for sale it must be priced according to your standard pricing. Paintings that do not reflect the artist's current pricing structure may be disqualified.
