Artists · a library program
Twenty images you already made. Buyers you could not reach alone.
A working artist gets paid while standing at the easel, the chair or the kiln, and not otherwise. This program turns a small library of finished images into three streams that pay while you work: cards and prints sold at retail, sets sold to institutions by the case, and licenses to the companies that print for those institutions. We do the selling, the invoicing, the payouts and the statement. You keep your copyright and your name on every piece.
You bring
- Twenty finished images, in one voice
- An hour to approve the files and the lookbook
- A signed agreement, non-exclusive by category
The platform does
- File preparation, lookbook, listings and fulfilment
- The institutional pitch, sequences and samples
- Licensing negotiation, invoicing, payouts
- A statement every quarter: what sold, to which kind of buyer, what reordered
You keep
- The larger share of every one-of-a-kind original
- An even split on retail and on licensing income
- A royalty on institutional wholesale
- Your copyright, your name, every other place you sell
Percentages are written into each artist's agreement. Shares accrue in the ledger from the first sale and are paid against the quarterly statement.
The first library
Lacey Rawson, Raw Sun Art Creatives
Five watercolor cardinals became Honor & Bloom, a card pack a person sends and a 25-pack a veterans post orders. The same library is becoming Thirteen Months, a six-card set hospices mail across a bereavement year, and the lookbook that aftercare printers license from. One artist, one library, three kinds of buyer. The second artist is the proof that this is a platform.
How it is curated
- Two artists at a time. Memorial and botanical work first, because that is where the institutional buyer is proven. A pass comes with one sentence of why.
- Non-exclusive by category. Keep selling everywhere you already do. We ask only that the twenty images not be licensed to a direct competitor in a category we are actively selling for you.
- Not a marketplace. No open submissions, no listing fees, no algorithm. Your work is sold by people who have met the buyer.
- The first cohort opens in 2027. Applications are read now.
