Atisly is a bidding platform for artists to sell their art before they have created it.
We want artists to spend more time creating artwork and less time worrying about the selling aspect.
Ok...no starving artists and lots more original artwork in the world!
Artists have to create art, then normally sell it after finding the right buyer. Now you can create art and not worry about selling it after it has been created, or finding a buyer because it has already sold!
No, the buyer has zero input on the artwork you create. They will receive it and open it up like a present on Christmas morning.
They need to tell you the basics, what medium it is, the size, how long it will take to finish the artwork after the auction. Other than that, they dont have to tell you anything...unless they want.
You can see it once you have received it and opened it up!
The total purchase amount is kept in escrow until the artwork ships and shows delivered. If the artwork doesnt ship within the time period specified in the auction, then the auction is cancelled and the total amount paid is refunded.
To list your artwork is free. After it sells, theres a 20% final value fee based on the winning auction total.
No, we are a Certified B Corp and we donate a portion of every final value fee we collect to charities that support art programs.
That is the risk the buyer takes. We suggest checking out the artists portfolio and previous work they have released so you can get a sense of the quality/type of art they create. However you will have an original piece of artwork which you could not get at Walmart! Art is subjective, so everyone doesnt like every piece of art. It might just be a temporary piece of your collection, you arent marrying it!
It depends if the artist allows it. See the listing if they allow returns or contact them for confirmation. Additionally, if the artwork is not shipped within the time period specified in the auction/listing, then the purchase amount is refunded and the artists Atisly Rating Score (ARS) is dinged.
It is the rating of the artist. Too much negative feedback and transactions can get you banned from the platform.
