What makes us different
Our model is designed to create a balanced experience for artists, dealers, and customers. Rooted in fairness, transparency, and integrity, it is intended to build healthy, long-term relationships between the shop and its artists, and between the shop and its customers.
Equitable by Design
Our model is built around a simple principle: the artist, dealer, and customer should each receive fair value relative to their role.
Artists should be paid properly and promptly. Customers should receive pricing that reflects the work itself, rather than excessive dealer markup. The shop should earn enough to remain sustainable without treating its contribution as equal to the artist’s.
The goal is not for every participant to receive the same amount. The goal is for each participant to leave the transaction believing the value they received was fair.
Wholesale Model
Artists establish the wholesale price for their work and are paid upfront, without waiting for a piece to sell. The shop then limits its customer-facing markup to 25%. This keeps the artist’s value intact, prevents the dealer’s profit from overtaking the artist’s contribution, and gives customers access to new work at a price that more closely reflects the work itself.
Artist Consignment
Artists may also consign work to the shop and receive 75% of the final sale price, with the shop retaining 25%.
An industry-first initiative that pays artists a 10% commission whenever any pre-owned or resale piece of their work is sold through the shop, or whenever merchandise featuring their work or name is purchased.
Consignors receive 75% of the final sale price, while the shop’s commission is capped at 25%. The shop handles photography, listing, marketing, payment processing, packing, and shipping. There is no minimum or maximum number of pieces required to participate.
