What happens when Art In Motion receives my submission? What is the review process?
Our Art Department reviews submissions on a regular basis. Feedback is also gathered from our sales and licensing teams to further assess our ability to be successful with your work in the marketplace. We reply to all submissions and return all materials sent by post mail at our expense.

What happens next?
Where we feel there is a good potential for a successful marketing of your art, we will contact you and discuss how we could work together to develop a creative partnership and the opportunities of this union. We will answer questions, explain the publishing processes and review the goals and expectations of both parties. Once an agreement is in place, you will work closely with an Art In Motion art director on how to capitalize on this exciting new venture.

What is the quality of the reproduction?
We have a passion for everything we do and are sticklers for quality. Your art will be handled by a dedicated team of art and technical specialists. Art In Motion is committed to producing high quality reproductions that remain true and faithful to the artists original work. Over the years, we have developed innovative techniques to reproduce imagery to the highest levels possible. Nothing gives us greater satisfaction than capturing the colors and textures of a painting so that the artist is thrilled seeing the end result.
