Our story

Built so artists keep what they earn.

Artistry Boutique was founded in British Columbia in 2013 by a group of makers: a decorative painter and canvas artist, a designer, an arts student and activist, an indie sculptor and knitter, and a developer who loves the arts community.

Like many artists, we were frustrated by how few good options there were to get our work in front of the people looking for it. The easy services lacked features, and the others took big commissions. So we polled our friends, peers and fellow artists, built a wish list, and made a marketplace from the ground up, by artists, for artists.

This new site is a ground-up rebuild of that idea. It’s faster, easier to browse, and every payment goes straight to the artist.

How it's different

Fine detailArtistry Boutique
The full price goes to the maker.

0% commission. Really.

Most marketplaces take a cut of every sale. We don’t. Artists pay a flat membership, and buyers pay the artist directly through Stripe. The full sale price goes to the person who made the work, less standard card processing.

Membership from $14.99/month or $129/year
Premium, to sell, from $19.99/month or $179/year
Payouts through Stripe Connect, straight to the artist

What you'll find

Originals, prints and people to hire.

Originals are one of a kind. Limited editions come in a set number, signed and with a certificate of authenticity. Open-edition prints are affordable and unsigned. And when you want something made just for you, you can hire an artist for a commission, mural or lesson.

Some work explores mature themes. It stays blurred unless you choose to see it.
