Intuit's Submission Policy
Thank you for your interest. Regarding submissions, Intuit is a non-profit art center and does not have an acquisitions budget at this time. All additions to the permanent collection are made through donation. Acquisition policy and procedures are outlined in Intuit's Collection Policy, which is available upon request. Intuit does not sell art and Intuit staff is legally prohibited from performing appraisals. Staff cannot offer portfolio reviews or career counseling services of any kind for artists, collectors, the estates of artists, or other interested parties. Please contact one of the many galleries or appraisers specializing in outsider art for these services.
