No. sanateserleri.org does not provide a payment infrastructure. Payments made through the platform are processed differently depending on the type of content:

• Artwork sales: The platform does not facilitate direct sales or payment processing. You can make a donation-based offer for a piece you like, then get in touch with the artist directly to proceed together. Payment and delivery are handled between the two parties.
• Workshops: Payments from participants are received as direct donations to Yücel Cultural Foundation. If the workshop organizer can issue an invoice, the payment is transferred after deducting bank fees (4%). If the organizer cannot issue an invoice, 20% income tax is paid to the government and the remaining amount is transferred to the organizer in exchange for an expense receipt.
• Performances: Payments from participants are received as direct donations to Yücel Cultural Foundation. The income is transferred to performance organizers who can issue an invoice, after deducting bank fees (4%). Those who cannot issue an invoice can organize one paid performance only. In this case, 20% income tax is paid to the government and the remaining amount is transferred to the organizer in exchange for an expense receipt.

For example, if you are organizing an online performance, you must indicate the platform to be used, such as Zoom or Meet. If it’s an face to face performance, you need to provide the venue address. In the case of a hybrid performance, both sets of information are required.

sanateserleri.org allows artists the freedom to exhibit their work on other platforms as well. However, once your offer is accepted, the seller is obligated to complete the process exclusively through this platform.

If your offer is rejected by the artist, the sale will not take place. However, the 1% donation you made to the foundation in order to submit the offer is non-refundable. Since you can access the artist’s contact information during the offer process, you may continue the negotiation directly with them.

Yes. If your artwork is not approved for publication, you will be notified along with an explanation. After making the necessary adjustments, you can resubmit the same artwork for approval.

You are free to exhibit your artwork on other platforms while also displaying it on sanateserleri.org. However, if the artwork is sold elsewhere, you must update its status in the system to stop the offer and exhibition process.

According to the Terms of Use, if there is even a single participant registered, the organizer is obliged to carry out the show. Shows with no registered participants can be canceled by the organizer at any time.

If the organizer needs to postpone the show due to circumstances beyond their control, they are required to inform the participants in advance. If complaints are received from participants, sanateserleri.org management reserves the right to suspend the organizer’s account.

In the case of free workshops, if there are not enough participants, the organizer may cancel or reschedule the workshop.

For paid workshops, since participants have already made a payment, the organizer is obligated to hold the workshop even if there is only one participant.

Therefore, artists are encouraged to start with free or low-cost, short-term workshops to get familiar with the system and test participant interest.

Note: sanateserleri.org is a platform only. The responsibility for workshop content, participation, and cancellations belongs entirely to the organizer.

You can organize a one-time workshop. If your content is suitable, you may also plan workshops that continue on a weekly or monthly basis.

To help participants plan accordingly, it is important that the workshop schedule is clearly stated when publishing the event.

If you would like to use the venues of Yücel Cultural Foundation, please contact us.

To receive income from a workshop, payments are made in exchange for official documentation.

If you are able to issue an invoice, the payment is made accordingly. In this case, the invoice amount must include VAT and should be declared by the workshop organizer.

For those who cannot issue an invoice, Yücel Cultural Foundation will issue an expense voucher. In this method, a 20% withholding tax is deducted from the payment. The withholding amount is declared and paid to the government on behalf of the organizer by the foundation.

After the workshop is completed, the payment process is initiated within a week and the amount is transferred to the account details provided by the organizer.

Participants can pay by debit or credit card in a single payment or in installments at the time of registration. Although the payment reaches the foundation from the bank in about a month, the organizer is paid without waiting for this process.

In short, installment payments do not delay your payout. All payment tracking and risk is managed by the foundation.

Yes, you can earn income legally from paid workshops. Only 4% is deducted as a bank transaction fee from participant payments; the remaining amount is transferred to you in full.

Bonus-featured Garanti BBVA cards offer installment options ranging from 2 to 6 months.

There is no system-imposed limit on the number of participants. However, what distinguishes workshops from conferences or talks is their emphasis on hands-on participation and collaborative creation.

Therefore, it is recommended that the organizer keeps the number of participants at a manageable level to ensure effective interaction. Large groups may hinder engagement and reduce the overall productivity of the workshop.

Workshops can be organized either for free or for a fee. This choice is entirely up to the organizer.

If a paid workshop is being held, the participation fee is determined by the organizer and is clearly displayed to participants on the platform.

Workshop topics should be educational and developmental for participants, contributing to the fields of art, culture, or personal development.

Prohibited topics: Workshops involving political propaganda, discriminatory content, or aiming to promote commercial product sales are not allowed. Such content will not be published on the platform.

To make an offer on an artwork, you must first make a donation by credit card to Yücel Cultural Foundation as a system service fee.

Once your donation is complete, the offer and Q&A sections of the artwork will be activated. You can then contact the artist through these sections if you wish.

Yes, a donation to Yücel Cultural Foundation is required to publish an artwork on the site.

According to the Terms of Use, a donation of at least 45 TL per artwork must be made as a service fee. If the listed price of the artwork is over 4,500 TL, then a donation equal to 1% of the sale price is required instead.

In return, your artwork will remain published on the platform for 180 days. No refunds are issued even if the artwork is removed by the user before this period ends.

Donations can be securely made by credit card through the website. Please upload only artworks for which you hold the copyright, as any legal responsibility lies with the uploader.

This requirement serves two main purposes:

• Protecting artists: A small donation ensures that only genuinely interested individuals make offers. This helps prevent unserious, random, or spam offers.
• Supporting the platform: The price offer process is completely commission-free. All infrastructure and development costs are covered by Yücel Cultural Foundation. Donations help make this volunteer-based support system sustainable.

This way, you contribute to both protecting artists and sustaining a system that offers free services to them.

The price listed under each artwork is the initial sale price set by the artist. However, this price is not fixed; you may submit a price offer.

To make an offer and contact the artist, you need to make the required service donation on the artwork's page. After the donation, a Questions & Answers section will appear, allowing you to communicate directly with the artist and negotiate.

This process depends entirely on the artist's preference; they may accept, decline, or make a counteroffer.

This site is not an e-commerce platform; it does not directly sell artworks. Instead, it connects you with the artwork owners.

The sale, delivery, and payment terms are entirely between you and the artwork owner. The platform does not intervene in these matters and charges no commission or additional fees other than the donation made.

Each image must be no larger than 2 MB. JPG or PNG formats are preferred.

Images in landscape or square format usually provide a more balanced appearance. Highly vertical images are not recommended for mobile compatibility.

If none of the available category or technique options accurately describe your artwork during upload, you can email us at info@sanateserleri.org to request the addition of a new category or technique. Our team will review your request and may update the system accordingly if deemed appropriate.

You must provide a title when uploading an artwork to the system.

This increases your visibility on the platform and helps us match you with potential buyers. However, using the exact title of a well-known artwork may lead to rejection during the approval process. Please make sure to choose an original name.

• Artists uploading their own original works,
• Galleries, with the permission of the artist,
• Collectors, provided they hold the copyright to the artworks they upload.
