Our Commitment to Every Artist
Every artist on Art Beat gets the same commitment when it comes to selling — regardless of which plan they're on. That means active outreach to designers, businesses, and collectors, and a genuine effort to move your work. This is not pay-to-play.
The only difference between plans is how much of the day-to-day management you want to handle yourself. The more you hand off, the more time and attention Art Beat puts into keeping your page polished and current — but the effort to sell your work never changes.
Keeping Your Page Active
A current, well-stocked page is the single best thing you can do to help us sell your work. Buyers come back when they see something new — and it helps us represent you well when we're reaching out to designers and collectors directly.
On the Howdy plan, you manage your page directly. On the Partner plan, you stay involved and we fill in the gaps — think of it as a shared effort. On the All Access plan, just send us photos whenever you have something new and we handle everything from there.
Whatever plan you're on, we're always happy to help — just reach out. If a page goes inactive for an extended period, we may temporarily hide it from the marketplace until things are in a better place.
Showing Your Work
We sell your work best when we can show a well-rounded collection of your strongest and most current pieces. This goes beyond the website — we're also reaching out to designers, businesses, and buyers directly, so a cohesive body of work helps us represent you well.
If you work across different styles or mediums, we're happy to help organize your page so it feels clean, cohesive, and easy to shop.
In-Person Shows & Exhibitions
For in-person shows where Art Beat curates, installs, and manages work on the wall, artwork is sold on a 50/50 split. This reflects the time, coordination, and cost of producing and running a physical exhibition.
For more informal pop-ups or events where artists are present and manage their own setup and sales, the standard plan split applies.
Participation in shows is optional and based on fit, availability, and the overall curation of each event.
