WBE Gallery Terms, Privacy & Artist Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Welcome to WBE Gallery.

WBE Gallery is an online platform created to showcase emerging, independent and undiscovered artists, their work and the stories behind what they create.

By using this website, registering your interest in being featured, or agreeing to have your artwork displayed by WBE Gallery, you agree to the terms below.

1. About WBE Gallery

WBE Gallery is an online creative platform. It is not currently a physical gallery and does not imply that any a Little artwork displayed on this website is exhibited in a physical WBE Gallery location.

WBE Gallery aims to help artists gain visibility by showcasing selected artwork online and, where agreed, through WBE Gallery social-media channels.

Being featured by WBE Gallery does not mean that WBE Gallery represents, manages or acts as an agent for an artist unless a separate written agreement specifically states otherwise.

2. Artist Features

Artists may register their interest in being featured by WBE Gallery.

Registering interest does not guarantee that an artist or artwork will be selected.

WBE Gallery may decide which artists and works are suitable for the platform and may decline a submission without being required to provide a reason.

If an artist is selected, additional information, artwork images and permissions may be requested before anything is published.

3. Ownership and Copyright

Artists retain ownership and copyright in their original artwork.

WBE Gallery does not acquire ownership of an artist’s work simply because it is displayed or promoted on the platform.

By agreeing to be featured, the artist gives WBE Gallery permission to reproduce, display and promote the artwork and artist information. This may include publication on the WBE Gallery website and agreed WBE Gallery social-media channels.

Artists remain free to display, sell, licence or promote their work elsewhere unless a separate written agreement says otherwise.

In the UK, copyright protection for original artistic work generally arises automatically.

4. Artist Responsibilities

Artists must only submit artwork that they created themselves or that they have the legal right to submit and authorise WBE Gallery to display.

Artists are responsible for ensuring that information supplied to WBE Gallery is accurate.

If artwork includes material belonging to another person, including photographs, designs or other copyrighted material, the artist is responsible for obtaining any permissions that may be required.

Artists should also tell WBE Gallery if relevant information changes after a feature has been published.

5. How Artwork May Be Presented

WBE Gallery will aim to present artwork respectfully and accurately.

WBE Gallery may resize, crop or format an image where reasonably necessary for website or social-media presentation, but will not intentionally alter the artistic content of an artwork without the artist’s permission.

WBE Gallery may add artist credits.

6. Artist Credit

Where practical, featured artwork will include the artist’s name or chosen artist name.

Links to an artist’s website, social-media profile, online shop or other platform may also be included where supplied and appropriate.

Artists are responsible for ensuring that links they provide remain accurate and active.

7. Sales and External Websites

Unless WBE Gallery specifically states otherwise, WBE Gallery does not currently sell featured artists’ artwork directly.

If a visitor follows a link from WBE Gallery to an artist’s website, shop, social-media account or another external service, any purchase, commission, enquiry or agreement takes place directly between the visitor and the artist or third-party platform.

WBE Gallery is not responsible for the availability, pricing, delivery, condition or fulfilment of artwork purchased through an external website.

8. Removal of Artwork or Artist Features

An artist may ask WBE Gallery to remove their artwork or artist feature. Artists should therefore allow a reasonable period of time for their artwork or feature to be removed from the website and and associated WBE Gallery content

WBE Gallery will make reasonable efforts to remove the material from platforms under its control.

Content previously shared, reposted, cached or stored by third parties may remain outside WBE Gallery’s control.

WBE Gallery may also remove or update artwork, profiles or other content where reasonably necessary.

9. Use of WBE Gallery Content

The WBE Gallery name, branding, website design, written content and original material created by WBE Gallery should not be copied, reproduced or used commercially without permission.

Artwork displayed on WBE Gallery remains subject to the rights of the relevant artist.

Visitors should not reproduce, download, distribute, sell or commercially use featured artwork without permission from the copyright owner.

10. Personal Information We Collect

When you register your interest in being featured or otherwise contact WBE Gallery, we may collect information such as but not limited to:

your name; email address; artist or professional name;

information about your artwork or creative practice; social-media or website links; correspondence with WBE Gallery; and information you choose to provide as part of an artist feature.

11. How We Use Personal Information

Personal information may be used to: Respond to artist-interest registrations; communicate with artists about possible features; review potential artwork or artist profiles; prepare and manage approved artist features; administer WBE Gallery; maintain appropriate records; and send marketing or news communications where you have separately agreed to receive them.

Depending on the situation, WBE Gallery may process information because you have given consent, because it is necessary to take steps you have requested before entering into an agreement, or because WBE Gallery has a legitimate interest in administering artist enquiries and operating the platform.

12. MailerLite and Other Service Providers

WBE Gallery currently uses MailerLite to collect and manage artist-interest registrations and related contact information.

Your information may therefore be processed using MailerLite systems.

WBE Gallery may also use other trusted providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, manage communications, host content or provide technical services.

13. Marketing

Registering interest in being featured does not automatically mean that you have agreed to receive unrelated marketing.

Where WBE Gallery asks for marketing consent, this should be provided separately.

You can withdraw marketing consent at any time.

14. How Long Information Is Kept

WBE Gallery will not keep personal information for longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Artist-interest information may be retained while a potential feature is being considered and for an appropriate period afterwards for administrative and record-keeping purposes.

Published artist information may remain available while the feature remains live unless the artist requests removal or WBE Gallery decides to remove it.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to request access, correction or deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where consent is being relied upon.

If you have concerns about how your personal information is handled, you may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
