The Artist's Handbook
Step 1: Apply to Join
Before anything else, all artists must first apply and be accepted to sell art on our platform.
A note about selection: While we celebrate all artists and creative styles, we’re building a curated community with a distinct flavor and vibe. That means not all applicants will be accepted. It’s nothing personal—we’re simply looking for work that aligns with the gallery’s aesthetic and mission.
How to apply:
Click “Apply (Artist)” in the top navigation bar of our website. This will take you to the Artist Submission Form, where you’ll be asked to provide a few details about yourself, your artwork, and upload sample pieces.
Please allow up to 48 hours for our team to review your submission.
You’ll receive an email notification letting you know whether your application has been accepted.
Step 2: Sign Up
Important: You cannot upload artwork or create a profile until the sign-up process is complete. After your application is approved, you’ll need to:
- Complete the sign-up process to gain access to your artist dashboard.
- Watch for an email: You’ll receive an invitation to create your account that includes instructions for your login credentials and profile.
When your account is fully set up, you'll receive a confirmation email. That’s your signal that it’s time for Step 3!
Step 3: Create Your Profile & Upload Artwork
Now that you're signed up, it’s time to create your artist profile and list your artwork for sale. This is where your voice and visual presence come to life!
1. Build Your Artist Profile
Your profile helps collectors get to know you. Consider adding:
- A short bio (talk about your style, background, or inspiration).
- A profile photo (encouraged 😉).
This helps build trust and context for your work.
2. List Your Artwork.
As you go through the artwork listing process, you'll be prompted to complete several important fields.
- Listing type.
- Listing category.
- Other listing fields (like size, medium, etc.).
Please only select the options that accurately describe your artwork. This helps collectors find your work faster—and keeps the search results clean and effective for everyone. - Write a Great Description.
Descriptions matter! Write about your artwork in a way that helps collectors emotionally connect with it. Include:- Materials used.
- Your creative process.
- The story or meaning behind the piece.
This is your chance to let your personality and intention shine through!
Upload High-Quality Images (Images sell artwork—especially online). Buyers can't see the piece in person, so make sure the photos help them feel confident in what they’re purchasing.
Each artwork listing should include 3–5 high-quality images, such as:
- Full image of the piece (including the frame, if applicable).
- Close-up details.
- Signature.
- Numbering (if it’s a limited edition).
- Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or any relevant paperwork.
3. Estimate Shipping Costs.
You’ll be prompted to enter a shipping price for each piece.
Use services like FedEx, UPS, or PirateShip.com to estimate your cost. A few tips:
- Add 2 extra inches to each side of your box for padding.
- Weigh the piece and add extra weight for packing materials.
- Enter a realistic flat-rate estimate—this doesn’t have to be exact but should be close.
If you have an account with a shipping provider, you can print labels and manage shipments online!
4. Set Up Your Payment Info with Stripe..
We use Stripe for all transactions. As part of the listing process, you’ll be prompted to connect or create a Stripe account.
This is how you’ll get paid when your artwork sells—so it’s an essential step that must be completed before your listings go live.
