Every culture has art worth framing — and every artist deserves to keep the lion's share of what it sells for. Here's how to get from sign-up to your first sale, and how earnings work.
Sign up as an artist
Create a free account at /signup. There's no cost to join and no listing fees.
Verify your email
Click the link we send you. Verification is required before you can publish art or receive payouts.
Upload your art
High-res JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 25 MB. Add a title, culture, and country so buyers can find it.
Get approved
A curator reviews every upload before it goes public — usually to check quality and rights, not taste.
Connect payouts
Set up payouts with Stripe from the Artist Studio, available in Stripe-supported countries. Then you're live and earning on every sale.
Upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP files up to 25 MB. For the sharpest prints, we recommend an image with at least 3000px on the long edge — that gives our print partner enough detail to produce our largest size, A2, at museum quality. Smaller images can still look great at A4 or A3.
You set your own markup per artwork, anywhere from $5 to $10,000. Buyers pay the real production cost (print + frame, quoted live from our print partner for their country) plus your markup, plus the courier's real shipping price and a small service fee (5% of the order, minimum $2) that covers card processing. Unframed prints and shipping carry no platform margin; framed orders include a flat $9 assembly-and-service margin. You keep 95% of your markup on every sale; EveryCulture keeps 5%. Production cost, shipping, and the service fee never come out of your share.
Worked example
Say you set a $40 markup on an artwork, and a US buyer orders it as an A3 print in a classic black frame (production and shipping below are typical live quotes — buyers always see their exact figures before paying):
Of your $40 markup, you receive $38.00 (95%) and EveryCulture receives $2.00 (5%). Everything else covers production, shipping, and payment processing.
Before anything goes public, a curator checks each upload for image quality (sharp, well-lit, high enough resolution to print well) and for rights — you must own or have permission to sell the work you upload. Art is typically rejected for low resolution, watermarks, poor image quality, or unclear ownership. You can fix the issue and resubmit.
Payouts run through Stripe. Connect your account from the Artist Studio — you'll need to be in a country Stripe supports for payouts. Once connected, your share of each sale accumulates and pays out automatically.
You do. You must own the rights to any work you upload, and you keep those rights — listing on EveryCulture doesn't transfer ownership. If you believe your work or someone else's has been used without permission, report it to hello@everyculture.art.
Yes, from the Artist Studio. You can update details or take a piece down at any time. Orders already placed for that artwork will still be produced and shipped as normal.
Once a buyer's payment succeeds, your share of the markup is credited to your account. Stripe then pays it out to your connected bank account on its usual payout schedule. You can track your sales and earnings any time from the Artist Studio.
You can pledge to plant a tree with every order of your art. It costs you $1 from your 95% share on each order — nothing up front, and only ever on orders that actually sell and ship. In return, your listings show a “plants a tree with every order” badge that buyers genuinely respond to, and the tree is planted in your artwork's own country where we have a project there. Turn it on or off any time from your Artist Studio — changes only affect future orders, and if your share on an order is under $1 we never take you below zero. Trees are planted through our partner DigitalHumani. See the full tree promise.
