General questions answered...

What is the grand vision for THE ARTWALKER PROJECT?
That by 2006 visitors can view and purchase painted scenes from at least 90% of the world's popular and scenic locations.

How does Artwalker work?
Please see the text on the Artwalker home page.

How do I buy a picture I am interested in?*
When viewing the picture, select the 'Click here' or 'Buy/Enquire' link on the right of the picture, and fill in the Picture Enquiry form that pops up. We will then contact the artist on your behalf to obtain latest pricing, availability and delivery options.

Is all art on THE ARTWALKER PROJECT site for sale?
No. Some pictures may be from a limited release and no longer available. Others may not be for sale at all. The availability of a painting will normally be shown in the display page for that picture. Pictures will be shown whether or not they are for sale.

What if no price is shown?
Sometimes, the artist may not have supplied the price. If so, select the 'Click here' link on the picture display panel for the picture you are interested in and fill in the Picture Enquiry form.

What about the future of Artwalker?
We have exciting and innovative plans for Artwalker that are as original as the concept itself, including new ways of selling landscape art.

Artists questions answered...


How do I send my pictures to Artwalker?
Visit the Join page.

What if my work is accepted?
Your work will be processed, including the addition of a visible watermark to deter people from copying your pictures from the Artwalker site. We will notify you when your work is online!

Do I need a computer to send us art?
No. You may send us prints and other information by regular postal mail as explained on the Join page.

What if someone wants to buy my art?
Interested buyers click a link on the picture display page where your art is shown. Your SPACECARD will then pop-up providing people information on how to contact you.

If you work is already shown on Artwalker, please make sure you keep us up to date with this information so we can include it on the picture display panel for your picture(s).

Does my art have to be for sale to be featured on Artwalker?
No. Artwalker has been specifically designed to be an experience for the visitor, and we welcome submissions of 'Not for sale' work, or work that is no longer available. Allow your masterpiece to live on through Artwalker, to the pleasure of others! Furthermore, if you have other work that is for sale, then those who are disappointed that one piece of work is not for sale may look for other pictures available from you that are for sale.

Which art medium does THE ARTWALKER PROJECT accept?
Oil paintings, watercolours, acrylics, charcoals, sketches etc. We also accept photos or scans of 'tactile' art, such as carpets, mosaics, stained glass etc. - as long as it is scenic and depicts a real location somewhere on Earth, like that shown below:

How old can the art be?
There are no restrictions. We will accept pictures hundreds of years old, or the most contemporary.

How long will my art remain on Artwalker?
For as long as you wish. No further fees will be required.

What about commissioned work?
You may be considering rendering a complete Artwalk from scratch, perhaps a landscape, city street, college campus, or even an airport or golf course! We can assist in interesting the owners of a location in commissioning your work, which would at the very least cover your expenses. If you are interested in this type of project, please contact us.

Why should I put my art on ARTWALKER?
With more and more people gaining access to the Internet thanks to the falling cost of computers and the recent introduction of low cost Internet devices, ARTWALKER is a compelling, friendly and educational medium with which many people from all over the world may discover your art. And with Internet access set top boxes such as WebTV and AOL TV now available, ARTWALKER is one of the first web sites that can be enjoyed using a remote control or a wireless mouse. Ideal for the couch potato art lover!

Of course, ARTWALKER is only going to be of value to you if people know about it. We are committed to promoting THE ARTWALKER PROJECT World-Wide, ensuring the site increases in popularity as more and more art and artists appear within the site. Try a search on the word 'Artwalker' using any popular search engine.

Who owns the art on Artwalker?
The copyright of each piece of work belongs to the artist or their legally appointed representative.

How is my art protected from theft?
THE ARTWALKER PROJECT is the first art website in the world to embed a watermark in each picture displayed on the site, and to date, we are not aware of any images having been 'stolen' since launch in 1996. An opaque Artwalker logo is applied before the image is uploaded to our server. This deters people from printing or displaying the picture on another web site without your permission. If a picture is used without your permission, then the Artwalker logo will make it clear where the image was taken from and action can be taken.

Each watermark is positioned 'by hand' and we do our best to avoid spoiling the picture. Our aim is to encourage people to buy the picture if they like it so much! If you would rather we do not embed a watermark in a particular picture of yours, please let us know.

*With Artwalker Version 1.6, we handle each sale on an individual basis.
