Ad Updates and Duration

All listings are guaranteed a 30 day duration on our site. You will be notified 7 days before your listing is to expire, with a link to renew your ad. At this time, it is free to renew your ad for another 30 days.

You may update or modify your listing at any time. Please note that it is appreciated by the Art Jobs community that a listing for a position that has been filled be removed from the site after it is no longer available. You can update or delete your ad by logging into your account, finding the ad under your listings, and clicking the update/delete options.

Listings and Moderation

All listings must be approved by a moderator before showing up in our listings. Please allow 2-4 days for your listing to appear on the site. To make sure your listing is approved, please observe the following rules:

• Any listing that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled immediately. Participants in this site may not link, in any way, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually explicit, gross violence, SPAM listings, or any content determined by moderators to be unsuitable for this site.
• Any listing that is posted in an incorrect category will not be approved. Listings for Full-Time, Part-Time, or Large Freelance positions are not free listings - employers are required to pay the correct posting fee for their listing to be shown in the correct category. Ads posted in an incorrect category may incur a re-listing charge from site moderators. For more information on this, please see our Features and Pricing page.
• We reserve the right to ask you to modify and/or remove your profile or listings at any time, for any reason.

Posting Etiquette

Just as there are things that are considered bad form from artists, there are things to keep in mind when posting a job offer. Many artists have been burned in the past and are now skeptical about some job offers. If you make your add clear and upfront, you will attract more submissions.

Here are a few pointers:

• If you are expecting to pay in installments, to give materials (such as copies of books) as part of the payment or have any special form of payment (eg. you only use paypal) in mind when posting the offer, please mention it since not all artists are interested in these kinds of deals.
• If you intend to pay in percentage of profits but your product is not yet sold, this counts as a non-paying job because the artist has no way of knowing they will get paid and how much. Please post these positions under "Opportunities".
• Indicating the range you are willing to pay, or indicate if you are on tight budget when asking for quotes is considered good form.
• Specifying the location of your business, and whether the position is an in-house or telecommute position, is encouraged. This is incredibly helpful for applicants, and eliminates any artists who might not be located in your area.
• A contest, no matter how cool you think it is, is not a paying job offer. Accordingly, if you decide to post it, put it in the "Opportunities/Contests" section and indicate clearly that it's a contest.
• Asking artists to do part of your assets as an art test is poorly received by artists just as asking upfront that all submissions contain an art test even before having seen the artist's portfolio.
