Commission

ODC’s commission for any work sold is 40%. Price your work to reflect our commission. Any piece sold within 30 days of the close of “The Best of 2025” (and its traveling segment) shall be considered as having been sold as a result of its exposure during the show, and the 40% commission must be remitted.
 

Insurance

Work is insured by ODC during exhibition and in transit to other venues. Insurance values should not exceed 60% of the retail price. Work not for sale (NFS) must list a value for insurance. The museum cannot insure any work for an amount in excess of its fair market value, and reserves the right to limit the amount of insurance coverage on a particular piece. In the event of loss or damage, it will be the artist’s responsibility to provide documentation concerning the value of the work and extent of the claim.

  • One overall and one detail image are required for each artwork.
  • ODC reserves the right to photograph accepted work or to use submitted digital images of accepted work for the purposes of publicity, education, documentation, promotion and future grant proposals.
