Frequently asked questions

If you know the name of the artist, please have a look at the Artists Page to find their individual page, which contains their contact details. If you cannot recall the name of the artist, but know which exhibition included the sculpture, please contact us for a list of members who exhibited there. You can then browse through the pages of those artists, to confirm the identity of the maker, and find their contact details. If you cannot remember which exhibition it was either, having a look through the Events archive might jog your memory!

The Oxford Sculptors Group has strict ethics regarding this subject. If this situation occurs with a 3 month period after the exhibition then the artist has an obligation to pay the exhibitors commission. After that period it is at the artists discretion. However, most artists DO NOT discount their work for direct sales, as this destabilizes the market place. Discounts are normally only agreed where multiple items are ordered at the same time.
