A few more details
Sales
At Circle, we do not directly handle sales. When buyers "inquire" about your work, we verify their authenticity before forwarding their request to you. We facilitate communication up to the point of sale, after which the artist is responsible for processing payment and arranging shipment of the artwork.
Terms of Representation
Our mission is to promote artists and expand their reach while respecting their independence. Our representation is non-exclusive, giving you the freedom to collaborate with other galleries, both online and offline, and to exhibit your art as you choose.
Your Copyrights
The artist retains full copyright of their images while granting Circle permission to edit and publish their materials, including images and text, on our website and any other projects they choose to participate in.
0% Commission
We do not take a commission on artwork sales, whether they result directly or indirectly from an artist’s publication on our website, magazines, or videos.
Member Discounts
Member artists are granted a 20% discount on all Circle contests and other projects that we independently organize.
Community
At Circle, we take things personally! As a member artist you will be able to discuss and get advice on any aspect of your career.
Not just another portfolio website
At Circle, we do things differently.
Unlike other portfolio sites, our selection of artists is curated. This means that each artist goes through an application process and their presence on our website adds value to their resume.
We take care of the technical details of bringing your art online.
We handle all the behind-the-scenes design, editing and technical tasks. Rely on our perfectionism, to ensure that your work is presented in an elegant and professional way, providing a high standard of quality to your online presence.
We celebrate your uniqueness.
Each artist is different, and we see that as a strength. We invest the time to understand your individual approach, making sure your unique perspective shines through in a polished, refined presentation.
We grow your audience.
Beyond offering a place to showcase your art, we actively work to reach an engaged community of art lovers and professionals who trust us to discover new talent. A Circle membership isn’t just about having an online presence; it’s an opportunity to expand your visibility, and elevate your presence in the art world.
We understand that pursuing a career as an artist is a complex path.
In today’s competitive market, artists are required to perform so many tasks (marketing, promoting, design, writing, booking shows and projects etc) that take away from their time at the studio. Our goal is to simplify the life of artists and help them focus on what they do best: creating art.
