  • Accepted artists make an 80% commission on the sale of their work. Payments are made quarterly via direct deposit by the 15th of the following month.

  • Unsold merchandise is returned to the artist after a six-month period. Arrangements can be made if an artist needs to withdraw their work sooner.

  • Artists must be willing to communicate via email and carefully read and respond in a timely manner in order to maintain their account. Due to the extremely generous commission we offer, we only retain artists who are prompt, professional, and easy to work with. Please make sure you are able to fully commit to this opportunity before applying.

  • Space is limited in the Artist Market and unfortunately we do not have the capacity to accept everyone who applies.
