Buying Art You've Seen During Red Dot Challenge, Season 1

Followers of Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 will learn about many artists, venues and works of art by following gameplay. Mostly, followers will see pictures of art and read the names of artists and venues on social media. Hopefully all the social media exposure will result in more people visiting art venues to see the works of art in person.

You might then ask, "But can I actually BUY art I see as part of Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 for my own art collection and enjoyment?"

Yes, you can! We hope you DO buy art you've seen during the game. Helping you to find artists, arts venues and works of art you're interested in is a big part of why we created the game. So, 100% yes!

Visiting arts venues in person to see the art in real life is typically the first step.

While you are the venue you will be able to find out if the work is available for sale. (Some works may already to sold to another real-life buyer/collector. Also, some artists exhibit works of art but do not offer those works for sale to the public.)

If you don't' already know the price, it's usually posted next to the work on a label or in a price list at the venue. Some artists, however, don't list a price at the exhibition site. In that case, you'll see information about how to contact the artist or the venue proprietor directly for information.

Once you've established the work of art is available, information about how to conduct the transition will be apparent at the venue.

Every Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 post on this site (reddotchallenge.org) includes the following statement at the bottom of the post:

"The works of art chosen by Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 players for their fantasy art collections are not being purchased with real money. Red Dot Challenge is a FANTASY art collecting GAME. Players are having fun PRETENDING to buy/collect the art and modeling art collecting behaviors.

"In all instances the artists retain the copyright for their work as well as all other rights and privileges provided by the law.

"If you are interested in purchasing a work of art you've seen during Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 gameplay, please inquire at the venue where the work is exhibited."
