Artist Submission
Who is AT Hun Art Gallery.
We sell contemporary fine art and art gifts with an exceptionally fun gallery experience. We are a Human Creative Arts Company. Founded in 1998 with the fun name of A.T. Hun, which is a Monty Python nickname for Atilla the Hun. Our artwork focus is Contemporary art with a sense of fun, intrigue and interest. The heart of our operation is creativity and fun. Our customers, which we see about 3000 in person on average per week, consist mainly of tourists, but we have a percentage that are locals that return quite often. We are both a physical and virtual gallery. Our artist's work is sold on consignment. The artist owns the work until it is purchased by a customer. The proceeds then are divided between the gallery and the artist.
Gallery Policies
The policy of the gallery is to promote the artists and their work better than what the artists could do themselves. We know art sells itself but buyers love to know the artist behind the work and is usually what creates a collector. We offer our expertise of art to all walks of life and make art accessible to everyone. We only offer human created art by hand. No digital art is permitted. We guide new and established art investors to wise decisions and offer solutions for larger purchases. We maintain an artist database and works of art online to broaden our reach and keep in touch with our loyal customers. We require that all art provided to us for sale is ready to hang and sell, prints in sleeves, matted or sized for easy framing. Canvases wired, edged or framed. We do keep a rough inventory count, but it is up to the artist to maintain sufficient quantities of art to sell. We do provide customizable reports to allow the artists up to date information on sales of their artwork.
