SHOP ARTISTS AND MAKERS | FOR OUR ARTISTS
NOW MORE THAN EVER, THE WORLD NEEDS ART.
In times of strife and struggle, people become even more insular, even more self-absorbed. Art as the thing that sparks aesthetic engagement has never been more important.
The lowest level of aesthetic engagement is putting yourself in the story of the art, reacting in some sort of emotional way. It’s that immersive experience, right here, right now, and the awareness of how a piece makes us feel that
embodies the practice of mindfulness and offers us many psychological benefits. For example, mindfulness has been demonstrated to sharpen focus, decrease anxiety and depression, and improve overall well-being.
Now more than ever, the world needs art.
Thank you for your interest in selling your art on our website.
Please read our philosophy, our focus, partnering our talents, and the standard formats for submitting the
ARTIST APPLICATION.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Artists & Makers understands that technology is providing countless possibilities
to give consumers exactly what they need in the moment. As devices become seamless and
ubiquitous, they and we are becoming increasingly inseparable.
​
Artists that understand this need a partner that has the talent and abilities to leverage
the change in the world around them. They are in need of curation and platforms to support
their livelihood. Our strategies and marketing across all digital, physical, and communication touchpoints underpin artists' continued and growing prosperity.
OUR FOCUS
We help artists reach a broader audience; exposing your work to more buyers.
We focus on what we do best, so you can focus on what you do best, art.
We support our artists with a virtual gallery for real art along with active, direct marketing, email
marketing campaigns, advertising, and social media; all focused on selling our Artists’ work. Our team is
always seeking new ways to reach potential buyers and encourage them to buy the work they love.
​
As one of our artists, you will have your own Artist Profile page on shopartistsandmakers.com,
sharing your artist statement, resume of achievements and awards, and artwork. Your work will be
searchable from within our site, and may be featured in collections through our online marketing efforts.
We will also market your work through our search engine marketing program. Your work may also be
chosen to be featured in our email marketing, social media, on our website homepage and
landing pages, and through print publicity materials.
​
Our focus will always be your success.
PARTNERING OUR TALENTS
We want to partner our talents with yours; we want to be able to provide you the
curation and platforms to promote and sell your work.
