“For 18 years I was represented by a well-known NYC gallery but felt that relationship wasn’t going in the right direction for me. I needed to make my art “my” business. I knew that I also needed to be in a supportive community and that I needed exposure. Artfare checked all those boxes. With Artfare, I feel like they want success for me.”
Karen J. Revis
“To me, the most appealing aspect of Artfare as a platform is that by partnering with a dedicated group of curators Artfare ensures a high level of quality from all of its participants. This has resulted in a vibrant and diverse community of artists that I'm proud to be a part of.”
Alex Yudzon
"Working with Artfare is the smartest decision I have made for my career and practice as an artist. With galleries I was never sure that our interests were aligned. Artfare's open communication, resources, and general support have provided the freedom to focus on my work. I am now at home in the company of many current, talented artists."

Artist FAQs
Our consignment agreement is non-exclusive and our commissions are low (we charge 10% vs. most competitors who charge 35% to 50%). Many Artfare artists actively work with galleries and the non-exclusive/low commission model allows our artists to use Artfare to promote and sell artwork simultaneously exhibited at a physical gallery. If the piece sells through a gallery, or any other channel besides Artfare, you don’t owe us any commission. We believe our model allows us to be more flexible for artists, as well as credible in marketing and promoting art relative to some of the existing platforms with higher commissions and more commercially driven marketing practices.
