ARTIST SUBMISSION

Are you an artist who would like to be considered for the Design Insider Artist Archive? We all know that the best kind of art is meant to be an investment, not a placeholder on a wall. It is our belief at Design Insider that homeowners want to own art that has context within their personal style, relationships, and life experiences. However, we also know that collecting art this way is slower and requires more relationship building and education, as well as access to good artists. To support this long-term industry change in purchasing art, we have created the Design Insider Artist Archive. The Artist Archive is not a marketplace, but it is also more than a directory. It is meant to facilitate a personal introduction of your work to designers who are in the market for client art and allows space for relationships to build slowly and authentically over shared philosophies and styles.

Below are some ways we suggest interacting with our members in order to make your artist listing mutually beneficial for both you and Design Insider:

  • Embrace your unique artistic perspective

  • Explain your perspective or personal story to allow members to connect with it

  • Showcase work in a medium that would look great  in a variety of interior environments to allow for broader use

  • Inform members of upcoming art releases, including timelines and price ranges

  • Offer a portion of  your work on a commission basis so that members can plan ahead for larger pieces or specific art needs

  • Respond to inquiries in a reasonable timeframe

  • Offer special pricing or discount structures to first time member buyers as an incentive to try out your work in their designs

  • Update your artist card periodically to keep your information up to date
