How to Apply for Artwork Representation?
We welcome all artists to apply for artwork representation. You can submit your works and relevant information through the Open Call page on our website. If your works meet our standards and catch our interest, our team will contact you promptly.
This is an open and inclusive opportunity, whether you are an emerging artist or an experienced artist, to showcase your talent and gain global exposure.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!
Why Do I Need to Pay a Monthly Fee?
As a platform dedicated to emerging artists, we understand the challenges they face in the early stages of their careers, including difficulties in selling artworks and limited exhibition opportunities. To help artists showcase and sell their works globally, we not only feature them on the Artstages website but also actively collaborate with internationally recognized platforms such as Artsy, with plans to expand to others like Artnet in the future.
These international platforms do not allow artists to independently upload their works; representation by a gallery or institution is required. Additionally, maintaining and promoting artworks on these platforms incurs ongoing costs. The monthly fee covers these expenses and supports our services, including professional artwork management, display optimization, and global promotion, ensuring your works gain broader exposure in the international art market.
To further ease the financial burden, we offer a flexible model: once you successfully sell your first artwork, you can opt for the no-monthly-fee representation option. This way, your works continue to benefit from international platform exposure at reduced costs. Art Stages is committed to providing emerging artists with an efficient and supportive environment to grow their careers from local to global recognition.
