The Arte is an open platform and all artists are welcome to register and create their gallery.
To meet our visitors' expectations for quality, variety and uniqueness, we reserve the right to handpick and curate the content on the platform, including on the home page and in the category listings. Featured artists are selected as new works are uploaded and from existing artists. We review featured artists regularly.
As Thearte is a large, open and welcoming platform, this is the most effective and appreciated way to highlight high-quality artistry. Read more about our selection criteria .

We do not require exclusivity. The Arte is an open platform and we see it as our mission to give artists a flexible, fair and easy-to-use place to showcase their original art.
At The Arte, art buyers trust that the structure and process are fair and equitable and represent value and unique quality. If you sell your works elsewhere, your prices therefore need to be the same everywhere. We reserve the right to take action in the event of unauthorized pricing.
