Expectations of participating arts businesses

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 Art 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. You can expect to receive notification of the outcome of your application within ten weeks of the closing date.

Applications are assessed against the criteria of quality, planning and business practice.
