Presentation: All artwork must be delivered ready to hang. While framed artwork is preferred, unframed work on cradled wood panel or stretched canvas are permitted so long as the following conditions are met:

• Edges of works on cradled wood panel must be completely void of paint, or completely covered in a complementary colour, or be a continuation of the artwork.
• Edges of work on gallery-wrapped canvas can be either a complimentary colour or a continuation of the artwork. Raw canvas edges are not permitted. Staples must be on the back of gallery-wrapped canvases.

If the artwork delivered does not match the image submitted to the FCA, or if it is not presentable for any legitimate reason (e.g., it’s damaged or wet), then FCA Toronto reserves the right to choose not to hang the work.

Copyright: Submitted work must be original work by the artist, not copies or derivatives of the work of others or in any way an infringement of copyright. While using photos as a reference for painting is a long-held accepted practice, using stock imagery or photographs taken by professional photographers is not permissible at FCA Toronto, even with the photographer’s permission or with a paid license to reproduce the image. All artists accepted into FCA Toronto’s exhibition must confirm that their artwork is not a copy, derivative, or based on the work of others, or in any way an infringement of Canadian copyright law.

Pricing: All artworks must be available for sale and priced in Canadian dollars. Artwork must be priced the same as in your studio or other galleries you might be represented in.

Sales: Earls Court Gallery will be handling all sales inquiries at its gallery.  Artists must agree to keep the artwork on consignment available for sale until the end of the exhibition. All artwork – including sold works – must hang in the Gallery until the show is completed. After the posted exhibition dates, the artwork is no longer under contract with FCA Toronto and the artist can sell or display the work wherever they please. If a sale is made, artists will be informed by phone or email by FCA Toronto.

Insurance: Artists are strongly advised to obtain their own insurance for their artwork while on display in the Earls Court Gallery. All reasonable care will be exercised in handling the artworks on consignment.  While the Earls Court Gallery will attempt to provide a secure exhibition space, in the event of ANY loss or damage, the gallery shall NOT be liable to participating artists or to FCA Toronto. FCA Toronto and participating artists waive their rights to any other liabilities pertaining to the loss or damage of artworks, even in the event of theft, negligence, fire, or flooding.

Every artwork submitted must comply with the Federation of Canadian Artists’ standard set of terms and conditions, which is stated on their submission page.
