Artwork purchased at the online gallery will be marked as “sold” at the walk-in gallery
- Funds from walk-in exhibition sales are received by the Federation in Victoria (or transacted by the exhibiting gallery). Artists retain 65% of their sale, 35% to Victoria Chapter or exhibiting gallery, as agreed by both parties. Artwork purchased at the walk-in gallery will be marked as "sold" on the online gallery.

- Artists retain ownership of all work consigned to or represented by the FCA.
