Would you like to sell your art globally without strict restrictions on content and the burden of sales commission? Find Art Globally is an art website that connects professional artists and buyers internationally, while also giving artists the opportunity to network on a global scale.
Global Reach
By joining our website, you can get a wide, global reach for your art. The concept and technology of findartglobally.com has been developed for three years and is based on highly-tech search technology which works to connect potential buyers to the artworks that fit their taste.
No Sales Commission
We do not restrict your rights to your own work, nor do we take any commission. Instead, you or your representative will oversee sales. If you have a contract with a gallery that represents you, you can still have a profile on our website. The gallery you work with would also benefit from the international exposure our website offers and can continue to represent you and sell your artworks as before.
Networking
In addition to international exposure, our website provides opportunities for networking. Our ‘Residence’ page provides a place to discover opportunities to stay in a residence, whether that be in your home country or abroad. Artists can post ads on the ‘Residence’ page and exchange apartments and work studios with each other for a period of time agreed upon by both parties. On Find Art Globally, artists from around the world can connect and share opportunities visit places that may not have a residence program of their own.
Your Profile Page
You manage your profile page independently and you can edit it to your liking. In addition to artwork sales, you can write about your projects, add your CV details, and generally keep people updated on what you’re up to. Using social media through our website is simple, as you can easily share what you post on our website on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Social media marketing is increasing in significance in the art world as well as everywhere else. We always recommend that after finishing a new work, you share it on social media for effective and free advertising!
Technical Features
We have developed our technical features to give artists and visitors the best experience possible. We have included an interface on our website that enables artists to maintain art sales on their own website through Find Art Globally. In order to use the interface, you would need to install it on your own website. Using the interface allows you to update your sales from a single source. You can order an interface for your website from our team of experts at a separate cost. The cost itself is dependent on the amount of work required for your own custom interface based on your website’s specifications. You can also order a whole website through us. To order an interface or a website, contact us on tuki@findartglobally.com.
Help Potential Customers Find Your Art
By using relevant keywords with each of your artworks, you help potential customers find your work. These keywords work as tags for your art. Many of our visitors want art that is just right for them and thus will narrow their search by color, technique or subject. By adding accurate and precise keywords, you can enhance your artwork’s visibility in the search results.
Noticeboard
This feature is available when you sign in. Our administrators use the noticeboard to notify you of updates and possible service interruptions.
Membership Application Criteria
We curate membership applications in order to make sure that our members are professional artists and to ensure we offer a high-quality service for artists and visitors alike. In order to become a member, you need to meet the criteria stated below:
You must have a degree in fine art and demonstrable a technical ability that is visible within your artworks. If you do not have a degree in fine art, you can demonstrate your ability through non-degree courses and with active exhibition participation (discussed further in part two).
In addition to a degree, you need to demonstrate that you work as a professional artist either in a full-time or part-time capacity. This is demonstrable through active participation in exhibitions in galleries, museums, and other similar organizations (i.e. most cafés and libraries are not included in this category).
If there is a significant time of inactivity in your artistic work and exhibition participation due to a change in your circumstances (for example: illness, having a child, moving abroad), you can still apply – just remember to tell us about your circumstances in your application. In a case such as this, we will expect you to become more active in the following year as passive artist profiles are not accepted on our website.
Validity of Your Application After Curating
Once we review your application and determine that you meet our requirements, your application is valid for two months. Once you pay the membership fee, your profile will become visible on our site. Unfortunately, if the membership fee isn’t paid within those two months, we will not be able to support your account.

Bonus points are distributed when the invited artist has applied for membership, has passed the curating process, and has been accepted as a member.
Monthly Art Raffle
Every month, we raffle off a piece of artwork from one of our members to our site users in every country. Here’s how it works:
1. An artist offers one of their pieces (valued at €150+) for the raffle. 2. Findartglobally.com and the artist agree upon which art piece will be raffled off. 3. The artist sends a photo of their art piece to the site administrators. 4. The piece is raffled to users and visitors within the artist’s country. The artist then sends the piece to the winner. Raffle wins are not sent abroad. 5. The artist receives recognition, high visibility, and title of ‘Artist of the Month’ for their donation to the raffle. In addition, their membership fee is waived for the following year.
The artwork must be delivered within seven days of the winner’s name being announced, at which time their name and shipping information are delivered to the artist. If the winner fails to respond to the artist’s messages within seven days, a new winner is selected.
Be quick! Our raffle queue for artists builds up fast. So, if visibility through social media and website recognition is important for you, it’s good to get your name for the next raffle in as soon as possible. You can send an image of a piece that you’d like to enter into a raffle and the details of the piece by sending an email to: curator@findartglobally.com.
About Art Sales
As was mentioned above, we don’t take any commission from your artwork. As such, the artist/the artist’s representative and the buyer are responsible for managing their own transactions independently. We will provide a means for which buyers can contact you via a contact form on your profile page, but the rest of the transaction is not handled by Find Art Globally.
However, we do recommend that you take 20% of the artwork’s total value as an initial instalment before shipping or delivering artwork to a buyer.
