W H Y A R T F U L V E N T U R EArtful Venture is an online marketplace of apparel and accessories from underground artists around the world. Our goal is to empower your unique voice and

aesthetic by providing the tools and services needed to share your work with a larger audience. We know how difficult it is to break through the noise on Etsy or

elsewhere online, so leave the business and marketing side to us. We want you to focus on what you do best: creative expression.

Y O U R W E A R A B L E A R T / / P R O D U CT C R I T E R I A• Each product must be primarily handmade (ex. Manufactured apparel with an original silk screen design is acceptable).

• Female and male apparel, accessories, and jewelry.

• Must have a unique style in which your artistic voice is displayed through your product.

H O W I T A L L W O R K SO U R S E R V I C E : We photograph the goods, create an online presence tailored to represent you as an artist, assemble lookbooks to feature your goods in

the best possible light, utilize our social media following to spread your unique craft. In addition, we deal with all returns, packaging and shipping the goods.

Y O U : After you and your goods are approved from our application process, you ship your goods to us in one swoop and we’ll take it from there.

N E W A R T I S T F E AT U R E S

Every other month we feature a new artist. If selected, your story and ‘wearable art’ good will be featured on the front page of our site for 2 months. We will

select 15-30 of your goods to sell on our site as part of your feature that you must send to us (S&H reimbursed). After the initial 2 months of your feature,

your goods will remain on our ecommerce site for 4 months (6 months total). At the end of the 6 month period, any unsold goods will be returned to you.

Artist Cost x 2 = wholesale price // Wholesale x 2 = AV’s retail price

We follow the industry standards for pricing in order to give you the best profit while ensuring Artful Venture’s business expenses are covered.

ALL remaining proceeds go right back into the business to further our support for future artist features. We are NOT taking a personal profit at this time.

50% goes to you [the artist], 45% goes to Artful Venture, and 5% to Arte del Mundo.
