Can I buy directly from the website?
Yes, direct purchasing via a “Buy Now” option is now enabled for your convenience. For the best experience and to ensure the immediate availability of a piece, we still strongly recommend using the “Contact Us” or messaging us before completing your purchase. One of our representatives will then assist you.

ARTWORKS & CATALOGUE
Are all artworks original?
Yes. All pieces showcased on the website are original artworks, carefully selected from the Art Circle Gallery collection.
Are the artworks available for immediate purchase?
Yes, unless marked as “sold” or “reserved.” Availability is updated regularly, but we recommend messaging us directly to confirm the latest status, especially before using the “Buy Now” feature.
Do the artworks come framed?
Yes, most paintings and works on paper are sold with high-quality, curated frames selected by the artist or gallery, unless otherwise stated. Sculptures come with bases as applicable. The frame shown in the final artwork photo is the one included with the purchase.
What is the purpose of the Frame Simulator feature?
The Frame Simulator is a reference tool designed to help you visualize different framing styles on an artwork. Please note that the frame options in the simulator are for visual reference and recommendation only. They do not represent the actual, final frame that comes with the artwork, which has been carefully curated.
Is there a Certificate of Authenticity (COA)?
Yes. All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist or the gallery representative.
Are the prices listed on the website final and accurate?
Prices displayed on the website serve as a general guide and subject for final verification. We strongly recommend messaging us directly to verify the current availability and price before using the “Buy Now” feature.
INQUIRIES & PURCHASING
How do I purchase an artwork?
You have two options:
- Direct Checkout: Use the new “Buy Now” button on the artwork page for immediate purchase.
- Personalized Service: Use the “Contact Us”. This is the recommended route to confirm immediate availability, verify the latest pricing, and coordinate payment, delivery, and installation with a dedicated gallery representative.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept various payment methods, including bank transfers, major credit cards (subject to processing fees), and cash payments at any Art Circle Gallery branch. Payment options available at checkout will vary. Specific details and a wider range of options will be provided by your gallery representative upon inquiry.
Do you offer installment plans or financing?
Yes, flexible payment plans may be available for select artworks and clients, especially when purchasing directly through an Art Circle Gallery branch. Please discuss installment options with your representative when you make an inquiry, as they are not available through the direct checkout process.
Can I request a specific artwork not listed on the website?
Yes. If you’re looking for something specific, feel free to message us. Our team can assist you in finding artworks that fit your preferences across our gallery network.
Can I reserve an artwork?
