In addition to original artwork, pieces may be offered as museum-quality Giclée prints. Artists who opt in authorize The Art Market to coordinate reproduction, production and fulfillment on their behalf.
Through this process, The Art Market handles the production and delivery of prints, making it easy for collectors to purchase high-quality pieces while giving artists an additional stream of revenue.
All Giclée prints are produced in Greater Los Angeles Area using archival ink and museum quality paper to ensure long lasting color accuracy and durability.

The Artist Collective is a shared fund designed to support participating artists across the market. This structure allows artists to continue benefiting from the platform even after their work featured period ends, while encouraging both past and present artists to promote and support the community
Featured Artist
Artists begin as Featured Artists, entering a three month exhibition period where their work is actively promoted across The Art Market. During this time, artists are included in the Artist Collective and receive quarterly payouts from the shared fund, whether or not one of your artworks is sold. After the three month period, artists are reevaluated and may remain Featured or transition to Archived status.
Archived Artist
Following Featured exhibition period, artists may move into Archived status. Their work remains available for purchase on The Art Market, and they continue to participate in the Artist Collective. Archived Artists become eligible for a prorated quarterly payout from the funds in any quarter where at least one of your artworks is sold.

The Art Market offers the opportunity for artists to be connected with potential buyers seeking commissioned work. The Art Market’s role is limited to facilitating the initial introduction. The Art Market is not a party to any commission agreement.
Artists are solely responsible for all aspects of the commission process, including communication, pricing, scope, revisions, timelines, and final delivery. While general guidance may be offered upon request, The Art Market does not manage or oversee commissioned projects.
A service fee of 15% of the final agreed-upon commission price is owed to The Art Market, 5% of which contributes to the Artist Collective fund. Artists are encouraged to structure deposits or payments in a way that accounts for this service fee.
Failure to pay the required service fee may result in termination of participation with The Art Market.
