Who can join Re-Art?
Re-Art is open to Art Galleries, Art Schools, Museums, and other Cultural Institutions of any size. Artists may create a free account at any time — however, participation in a competition requires a direct invitation from a partnering Institution.
Is Re-Art free to use?
Creating an account is free for artists and can be done at any time. Participation in competitions is by Institution invitation only. Institutions engage through a structured partnership agreement — contact us to discuss terms suited to your scale and objectives.
How does a competition work?
An Institution selects an artwork from its collection and opens a re-interpretation competition. Invited artists upload their responses during the open period. The Institution's selection panel reviews all submissions and awards Gold, Silver, and Bronze rankings before publishing the result.
What artwork rights must an Institution have before uploading?
Institutions are solely responsible for ensuring they hold all intellectual property rights, licences, and permissions necessary for every artwork they upload — including copyright, reproduction rights, and the right to run a re-interpretation competition on that work. Re-Art does not verify ownership at the point of upload. By submitting an artwork, the Institution warrants it has full authority to do so. Re-Art reserves the right to remove any artwork from the platform if a rights dispute is brought to its attention, without liability to the Institution.
Can an artist submit more than one work?
Yes. Artists may upload multiple re-interpretation versions at any point during the competition period, allowing iterative refinement of their response.
What happens to competition winners?
Gold, Silver, and Bronze-ranked works earn an institution-issued certificate of recognition and become eligible for the Re-Art Auction — where collectors can acquire institution-validated contemporary art.
How is the certificate of authenticity generated?
Each sold work receives a cryptographically signed digital certificate linking the artwork, the artist, and the issuing Institution. It is verifiable, permanent, and tamper-proof.
How do we get started?
Artists can register for free at any time and will receive competition invitations directly from partnering Institutions. Institutions — including Art Galleries, Art Schools, and Museums — may also register on the platform and will be activated following Re-Art's approval.
