What does TUKAG stand for?

A nice easy one to start off with. TUKAG stands for "The UK Art Gallery". Simple.

What are the benefits of joining?

There are many benefits of joining TUKAG.
We have created a page especially to answer this question. View it here.

How much does it cost to join?

This all depends on what you are looking to get out of TUKAG.
You can be listed in the Artist Directory for free. This will include your contact details, a description of your work and an image (business logo or artwork).
To sign up for this free listing, fill out our membership form and select Basic as the membership package.

In order to exhibit and sell your work in our online art gallery you will require a premium membership package.
We have 4 premium packages available - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond. Each package varies in features and price. To compare the packages and find out which one is best for your view our comparison table.

What are the different membership packages?

We offer 5 different membership packages - Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond. To compare the features of our packages view our comparison table.

Can I be added to the directory but not sell in the art gallery?

Yes you can. Simply sign up to TUKAG as a basic member. This will allow you to be added to the art directory but not the online art gallery. Best of all it's completely free!

How do I join?

Another easy one. To join TUKAG simply complete our online membership form.
Membership is however subject to approval. Once an application has been submitted to us we will review it for accurancy and relevance. This will insure our directory is the best it possibly can be for our users.
Once your application is approved we will contact you via email with all the information you need to to start using TUKAG.

What if my work doesn't fit in a category?

We have tried to create an art category for each of our artists. However if your work just doesn't fit into a category please contact us and we will create one for you.

Please note that TUKAG is aimed strictly at artists. We currently do not provide a service for other designers/professions e.g. antiques, crafts, etc.

How do I sell online?

It is easy to sell your work online. All you need are two things- a premium membership account (see "What are the different membership packages?") and a premier or business paypal account, which is free to signup for.

You can then login to our online art gallery and simply add your artwork directly to the art gallery for users to view and purchase.

Do customers need a paypal account to buy online?

No not at all. Paypal allows users to pay you uing the most popular credit and debit cards.

Is the site safe to buy online?

It is 100% secure to buy online on TUKAG. All the payment processing is handled by paypal's secure system.
TUKAG nor anyone else will have access to either the customers or the sellers details.

Do you charge a commission on sales?

No, we don't charge a penny on any of our members sales and never will.

How do I become a featured artist on the front page?

The featured artist box is reserved for our Gold and Diamond members. These members are rotated as the featured artist on every page load.
