To be eligible for participation in the COLLECT Art Purchase Scheme, Arts Tasmania expects all new participating arts businesses to be members of NAVA, who as such will uphold the NAVA Code of Practice for Commercial Galleries.
This requirement is included in the terms and conditions of the COLLECT Arts Purchase Scheme Agreement. Therefore businesses wishing to participate in the scheme should adhere to the above requirement before submitting an application. For more information see the NAVA website.
What is the administration fee?
Participating businesses are required to pay an administration fee of 1.5% of sales made through the scheme. Arts Tasmania will issue invoices on a six monthly basis.
Application assessment
COLLECT is administered under the Cultural and Creative Industries Act 2017, therefore all applications to participate in the scheme are assessed by an Expert Peer Panel which generally convene's three times per year (in 2018 this was in April; August and November). Please keep these time frames in mind when applying.
Applications are assessed against the criteria of quality, planning and business practice.
