Buying art
Who am I buying from?
From the artist. Each piece is listed by the person who made it, and they ship it to you.
What's the difference between the original, a limited edition and an open edition?
The original is the one-of-a-kind piece. A limited-edition print has a set number in that size and comes signed with a certificate of authenticity. An open-edition print has no set number and isn’t signed or certificated.
What print sizes can I get?
Each artist chooses their sizes, from 5×7 up to 24×36, and some offer custom sizes. The piece page lists what’s available.
How do I pay?
By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, through Stripe. You can check out as a guest without making an account.
How much is shipping, and how long does it take?
Shipping is added at checkout before you pay. The artist ships your piece and sets their own shipping times, so ask them if you need it by a certain date.
Can I return a piece?
Each artist sets their own return terms. Ask the artist before you buy, and see Shipping & returns for the basics.
I have a question about a piece. Who do I ask?
The artist. Use Send message on their page and it goes straight to them.
