For Artists
We accept paintings, drawings, illustrations, mixed media, photography, textile and sculptural art. We also have a 'print on demand service' that allows you to start selling prints with 0 upfront costs!
We've made it easier for artists like yourself to start selling prints of your work with our 'print on demand service' (POD). There are 0 upfront fees for you and we fulfil all print orders. We handle production and delivery so you can focus on simply creating!
We believe that artists should always receive the majority, after all it’s your work! Therefore our commission is 25% and card handling fees are 3% of the retail price. Please consider this when pricing your art.
We aim to get back to successful applicants within 21 days (we’re a small team so please bear with us). Unfortunately due to the number of applicants we cannot respond to everyone, so if you do not hear from us within 21 days of your application you have not been successful this time. You are welcome to reapply after this period.
All artists are paid via Paypal or an online money transfer service* (if Paypal is not available in your country), for orders processed 4 weeks prior. This is to ensure that if a customer decides to cancel their order or return any artwork we can process this before your payout date.
*Please note both payment services may incur a small fee for withdrawals.
