For Artists
Market your art at the level you choose
We handle the business side so you can focus on your art!
Market your art at the level you choose, from a private storefront to complete wholesale and distribution partnerships
Whether you want to add just enough products to have a booth presence, you're in this to build a large and successful art distribution business, or you just want access to all artist resources without a booth-front at all, we have the tools you need to succeed on your own terms.
For those looking to grow their busines: as you find success with sales on OAF we have an exciting program you may be invited into. In our Phase 2 Marketing, your Personal Marketing Coordinator will work with interested artists to prepare products for our art distribution program. We start with wholesale access to a few small galleries and stores looking for new wholesale vendors, then slowly scale up (if the artist chooses) to a wide network of wholesale accounts and access to our largest buyers including Amazon, Wayfair, The 7055 Store, Walmart, Overstock and more.
Sell your Art!
Virtual Booth
Create a virtual booth-front to interact with customers and fans.
OAF offers all of the tools you need to engage with your customers and patrons in this new and ever-changing world. From video chat to in-house ticket support systems, your conversations can be just as engaging as what you're used to in-person.
Marketplace
List your art for sale
Our traditional marketplace allows all member Artists the opportunity to list products for sale in a safe and secure environment. Because all Vendors and Artists go through the same jury process you expect at quality art festivals, you won't find the buy/sell and imports that are often found on other "handmade" online marketplaces. You will however find the complimentary art festival products and experiences your customers love, such as local wines, handmade chocolates & nuts and local independent musicians
Sell Custom Work
Facilitate custom work through our Private Products, or take offline - your choice!
Some hand-made platforms like to pretend they own your business. They dictate how you can sell to your customers and where you're allowed to communicate. We're different. We know that our role is to facilitate a sale, not claim it as our own. If you have a customer who needs some attention, we encourage you to take the conversation off-platform and keep it personal. Call the customer. Stop by their home to see where they'd like the custom sculpture to be placed. Be an artist in the way that works for you and for your customer. Want to come back to our secure system to complete the transaction? No problem - just use our private products to create a custom item link for the buyer. Want to keep it offline? That's fine too - we just ask that you come back and leave some reviews for everyone involved in your unique project so our community can keep growing and thriving safely!

Let your fans share their raves and reviews with the art festival community
You know how much your customers and patrons love your art, but does everyone else know yet? Do those customers who aren't quite sold have access to your biggest fans to push them into a sale? They do now! We encourage all artists to send your customers over to OAF to leave a 5-star review on your profile, and if possible, on the piece(s) they have purchased from you. Encourage them to tell the world about the role your art has played in their lives so everyone can share in these wonderful stories.
Tell your customers and fans when you will be back in their area with artist/event cross-tagging.
Are you attending an event that's listed on our event calendar? Tag the event on your profile to create a dynamic calendar of upcoming and past festivals that you attend. Likewise, promoters can tag artists and vendors to create a dynamic attendee list for each event

What does it cost?
Right now we are offering most OAF services complimentary to the art festival community. Artists who choose to utilize the marketplace will have a 15% flat commission to support the continued growth of the platform. We also offer discounted commission opportunities to Vendors who help us continue to grow. Contact us for more information. In the future we will offer more sponsorship and membership options for those who are interested in continuing to grow.
