《About selling of artworks》
I am not sure about the price range for selling my artwork.
The price of an art piece is usually determined by conditions such as the cost and time spent on creation, size, rarity (original or copy) or the seniority and experience gained by the creator as an artist.
If your work is digital or a copy, the suggested price range would be at around 1500-6000 yen.
If your work is a unique analog piece, the suggested price range will be much wider, at around 3000-50000 yen.
《About posting on social media》

You can freely write what you like, as we have no specific requirements on what must be included in promotional social media posts.
We do recommend writing in the title of your work and the information of our exhibition as it helps a lot in promoting yourself as an artist.
What should I write to introduce my artworks?
We suggest describing whet you wish to express in your work, what mood you were in when you created this piece, as well as the media you have used, the parts you have worked hard on, or the parts that you are most proud of in your artworks.
