Detroit is home to one of the largest digital art industries in the country.
This year, the city has produced more than 300 works of digital art than any other city.
The city has also created a rich artistic community in its digital community, thanks to the work of Detroit’s creative community.
Here are ten things you need to know about the industry and how you can start selling your digital art here.
1.
You Can Sell Your Digital Art at Any Time.
You can sell your digital artwork at any time during the year, which is great for those of us who work remotely.
The Detroit Art Museum has been offering online sales for artists for more than 20 years, and they are still the best place to sell your artwork.
You may also be able to sell digitally to other artists on their own website or by posting on their Facebook page.
2.
You’re Responsible for Your Artists.
If you have a good reason to sell, like a business needing money, you’ll need to show it.
The artist must provide a valid credit card number and proof of identity.
If the artist doesn’t provide this, they may be charged a $25 fee.
If this isn’t a good deal for you, you may be able offer them cash.
3.
You’ll Need a Good Contract.
The rules and regulations vary depending on the city.
If there’s a license for digital art, there are rules that apply.
This can include: a minimum payment to the artist; the duration of the sale; the artist’s royalty rate; the number of works you can sell and whether you can resell digital work; and what happens if you don’t pay up within the allotted period.
If a city allows artists to sell digital works, you should get a contract that gives you some idea of what you’re allowed to do and what fees you’re supposed to pay.
If your artists aren’t licensed to sell their work, they’ll need a license.
4.
You Need a Contract.
If no contract is in place, the art can go up for auction on Craigslist or other online auction sites.
You also can have a private auction where you negotiate the price of your work with the artist.
Once you have the contract, you can post it on your website and get payment.
5.
You Must Have a Good License.
If it’s illegal to sell a digital work in the state of Michigan, you must have a valid license from the state.
If an artist has a valid digital work, it’s a valid business license and you’ll be responsible for paying your artists fees.
If not, you could be fined up to $1,000.
6.
You May Not Be Able to Sell Digital Art to People with Criminal Records.
There are certain criminal offenses that are punishable by up to six months in prison.
These include: stealing a computer or other electronic device, using or possessing a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possessing or accessing child pornography.
You need to get a criminal background check and submit it to the local police department.
7.
You Might Need to Negotiate the Price.
You will need to negotiate with your artists if they’re going to auction their work online.
You might be able negotiate a lower price or ask them to pay a higher price for your work.
If they don’t agree, you have to go back to them and make it a fair deal.
8.
If You Have to Negotify the Sale, You’re Not Responsible.
If someone doesn’t pay the sale fee, they can get a court order to take your digital work offline.
If that happens, you won’t be responsible if your work goes up for sale.
If something goes wrong and the digital work goes down, it will be the responsibility of the artists.
9.
You Will Have to Submit Documents to the Detroit Police Department.
If anyone finds out that you’re selling your work online, they could charge you with a felony and arrest you.
You have to provide them with documents proving that the digital artwork is yours.
10.
If It’s Illegal to Sell Your Art, You Should Get a Criminal Background Check.
The Michigan attorney general says that if you’re in possession of a valid and correct work, you are responsible for the sale of your digital works.
If somebody steals your work and resells it, they will be charged with a misdemeanor and have to pay up.
