Why WelcomeArts?

A fairer way to buy and sell art, craft and handmade goods.

WelcomeArts is built around a simple idea: trust comes before profit.

Fair fees, and suitable for beginners, & people who found selling online too over-whelming. (See our Beginner Page here).

List up to 50 items free and pay just 5% commission when you sell. We do not charge commission on shipping.

No paid visibility

Sellers cannot buy their way to the top. There are no promoted listings, paid ranking or boosted search positions.

visibility is never for sale.

Create your own Events

Registered members can create their own timed auction Events and invite artists, makers, creatives and dealers to take part.

Create a Christmas auction, Black Friday Event, themed sale, clearance auction or your own special collection.

Charity auctions

Members can also create charity auction Events, bringing people together around worthwhile causes while discovering original and handmade work.

Help getting your work seen

WelcomeArts members can use our Social Media Marketing to help promote their listings, Galleries and Events across social media.

We don't charge you to be seen. We help you get seen.

Made for more than just art

Discover paintings, photography, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, furniture, decorative objects, traditional crafts, selected antiques and much more.

A marketplace built on trust

We believe sellers deserve fair treatment, buyers deserve confidence, and beautiful things should be discovered because people genuinely want them — not because somebody paid more for visibility.

We don't charge you to be seen. We help you get seen.

WelcomeArts gives members the tools to promote their own work, build audiences and create Events — without selling preferential search positions.
