The Process
How Consignment Works From San Antonio
Upload Photos
Photograph your artwork from San Antonio — front, back, signatures. Even phone photos work. Or email t@austingallery.org.
Free Evaluation in 48 Hours
We research every piece — artist, provenance, condition, market — and respond with an honest assessment within 48 hours.
Insured Shipping Arranged
We arrange professional packing and insured shipping from your door. For significant collections, we coordinate pickup logistics or a meet-in-the-middle drop-off.
You Get Paid
We photograph, market, and sell to collectors nationwide. When a piece sells, you receive payment within 14 days.
One honest note on logistics: our in-home appraisal visits are limited to the Austin metro, within roughly an hour of Austin. For San Antonio, everything starts with photos — and for significant collections, we coordinate pickup logistics or a meet-in-the-middle drop-off rather than asking you to manage shipping alone.
The Local Picture
San Antonio Is a Real Art City — And That Matters When You Sell
San Antonio has one of the deepest art cultures in Texas. The McNay Art Museum — the first modern art museum in the state — and the San Antonio Museum of Art anchor a collecting tradition that goes back generations. Southtown and the Blue Star arts district have sustained a working contemporary scene for decades. That history means San Antonio homes hold more serious art than most cities their size: regional Texas painting, Mexican and Latin American work, mid-century pieces, and contemporary art bought directly from local studios over the years.
It also means the question isn't whether your art has value — it's where that value is best realized. Some work belongs in front of San Antonio collectors. Much of it, particularly work by nationally recognized artists, does better with reach beyond one metro. Our evaluation tells you which is which, honestly, before you commit to anything.
Estates in the Historic Districts
King William, Monte Vista, and the older neighborhoods hold collections built over lifetimes. When a family home changes hands, heirs often face dozens of pieces with no records. We evaluate the whole collection from photos, tell you what has market value, and handle logistics for everything we accept — no need to sort it out yourself first. See our guide to selling inherited art.
Military Moves From JBSA
Joint Base San Antonio drives constant relocations, and art is one of the hardest things to move — heavy, fragile, and expensive to ship for pieces you're no longer attached to. Consignment fits a PCS timeline: photos this week, evaluation in 48 hours, insured shipping before your move, and payment wherever you land.

An Honest Comparison
Selling Locally in San Antonio vs. Consigning With Us
We'd rather you choose the right path than choose us for the wrong reasons. Selling through a San Antonio gallery or a regional auction house is a legitimate option — and for artists with a devoted local collector base, it can be the stronger one. Local galleries know their buyers, and auction creates urgency when demand exists.
Consignment with Austin Gallery makes sense when reach and risk matter more: we market to collectors nationwide rather than one metro, you pay nothing upfront, and unsold work comes back to you at no cost. Our commission — 50% under $10,000, 40% at $10,000 and above — comes from the sale only. For inherited collections and mixed estates, where some pieces are nationally collectible and others aren't, our evaluation sorts that out before anything ships. Our pricing methodology is published at how we value art, and the full consignment terms live on our main consignment page.
