We Bring Artists

Fair Compensation

We take a much smaller commission than most traditional galleries: we pay 75% on commercial projects and gallery sales, and 85% on online sales and are open and transparent with any fees.

Increased Opportunities

We connect local artists with a global marketplace of art lovers in the corporate, healthcare, hospitality, and commercial industries. We pair this with the resources, creative services, and connections you need to place and sell your work.

Professional Development

We connect artists with the affordable resources they need — framers, printers, photographers, and more — to help eliminate barriers between you and commercial success.

Dedication

We are all in. We spend nearly every waking minute advocating for artists and local art’s importance to culture and community.

Promotional Partnership

We support artists through sharing work with a captive audience of art lovers through various online platforms. Our 17.9k instagram users, 5k website subscribers and 3.5K monthly visitors navigate our channels with the intention of artist discovery and purchasing.

Innovation

We offer QR codes in conjunction with Whereyartworks.com to transform your space into a fully interactive art experience. With a simple scan, staff and visitors alike have immediate access to a wealth of information about the work they’re viewing and the artists who created it, from the comfort of their own devices anytime, anywhere.

Get Started

I joined Where Y’Art in 2015 and I can say they have been instrumental in my growth as an artist. They have created a platform that creates many opportunities to sell and promote your work within the community of New Orleans. Where Y’Art helps give younger artists an affordable way to sell and show their work.
