No, all Artworks listed on BLISSART are for sale.
As soon as uploaded, an Artwork is accessible to the community who then curates it, promotes it and helps you sell.
Those are all questions…
…you don’t need to worry about anymore.
All is left for your to do is:
1. Enter the packaging details when uploading your Artwork,
2. Pack your Artwork once it is sold,
3. Print, stick, drop off or call for pick up.
1. Enter the packaging details when uploading your Artwork
While undertaking the Artwork upload steps, you need to enter the packaging details in which you’ll send the Artwork as it is purchased, on the “Shipping” step:
Please be precise and accurate when entering this information. The packaging details you enter are used to generate real time shipping rates.
BLISSART’s shipping account will be used to process the shipment, so subsequent costs will be incurred by BLISSART. If the actual shipping weight, dimensions and origin is significantly different from the information you provided, BLISSART reserves the right to deduct any additional cost from your credited sales.
2. Pack your Artwork once it is sold
Once your Artwork is sold, you’ll be informed about the sale by email and on the platform.
Please pack your Artwork carefully respecting the packaging type, dimensions and weight you entered while uploading your Artwork.
In the event that the same Buyer has purchased multiple Artworks, please ensure each Artwork is packaged individually, respecting the packaging information you entered while uploading your Artworks.
3. Print, stick, drop off or call for pick up.
You’ll finally receive a pre-paid airway bill number for the Artwork sold.
Download the airway bill, follow the courier specific shipping instructions and either drop off your package at your nearest branch or call for pick up.
Each Artwork has a unique tracking number and is to be readied in its individual packaging.
In the event that the same Buyer has purchased multiple Artworks, you will receive a unique tracking number for every Artwork.
You have up to 5 days to dispatch the Artwork. Early dispatches drive early deliveries and early deliveries tend to get Buyers to smile.
BLISSART provides Buyers with discounted courier shipping rates in real time.
It is pretty much as if potential Buyers were at the counter of their preferred courier enquiring for rates, except that they can now get quotations in a click from their sofa while benefiting from volume discounted rates.
Shipping rates are automatically quoted based on the pick up address you entered for the Artwork, the Artwork packaged dimensions, and the Buyer delivery address – leveraging BLISSART shipping accounts and discounted rates.
Your creations now ship internationally hassle free, and with a best in class level of service from renown and reliable courier companies such as DHL, FedEx and USPS.
BLISSART offers a 14 days refund policy to all Buyers who wish to return a piece.
Artworks returned for personal or aesthetic reasons
Where Buyers return an Artwork for personal or aesthetic reasons, Buyers pay for the return shipping cost back to you.
Faulty Artworks, not as described or materials and certificates are missing
Where Buyers return an Artwork as faulty, not as described or materials and certificates are missing, you are charged with the return shipping costs, unless you prefer leaving the Artwork to the Buyer altogether.
Any customs duties to pay in order to clear customs in your country for the return shipment need to be paid by you.
If no shipping rates are returned for your Artworks:
1. Start by checking that your delivery address is exact, up to date, and different than the pickup address tied to the Artwork.
If you are getting shipping rates returned when selecting Artworks from different Artists in different countries, your delivery address is correct.
2. If your delivery address is correct, it could be that the pickup address you entered and tied to your Artworks contains an error and hence can’t be computed. Check that your pick up address is exact and up to date.
3. If both your delivery and pickup addresses are correct and you can’t get shipping rates even after trying with Artworks from different Artists in different countries, it could be that the service is momentarily down. In such a case, there should be a notification posted on our landing page or about to be.
Shipping rates are quoted dynamically every time you check and can change from one visit to the other. There are many factors driving those variations, such as exchange rates fluctuations, cross border agreements modifications, fuel surcharge updates, shipping services change, courier terms & prices revisions…
There are many ways to live your passion with BLISSART: not only can you earn up to 78% of sales by selling your Artworks but you can also unlock unlimited earnings by successfully inviting new Artists, creating your gallery and promoting your favorite creations.
The 78% are comprised of your Artwork listing price (54%) and potential additional earnings (24%).
Artwork listing price (54%)
Your listing price is the amount you earn from the sale of your Artwork. It is equivalent to 54% of the retail price paid by the Buyer.
The maximum listing price is established by combining two factors: the area slab of your Artwork (calculated as H x W) and your Sales level.
Size drives price:
Artworks are categorized in 5 area slabs. The bigger the Artworks, the higher area slab they belong to, the more you can charge for them.
Evolutive pricing bands:
You can charge more for Artworks as you increase your sales level. You level up as your Artworks are sold and as you help other Artists sell their creations through your gallery.
Additional earnings (24%)
Art enthusiasts who help to sell your Artworks are given a commission for their efforts. If you promote and sell your own Artworks, you can earn up to 24%.
Additional earnings have three components: an Artwork sponsoring fee, unused discounts and a gallery fee.
Artwork sponsoring fee
Earn up to 10% of the Artwork listing price.
Fee you earn as an Artist or an Art enthusiast the moment an artwork you sponsored gets purchased while exhibited. If others also sponsored the Artwork in the same exhibition, the 10% are shared among you. A given Artwork can have a maximum of 10 sponsors in a given exhibition.
Unused discounts
Earn up to 10% of the Artwork retailing price.
Every Artwork uploaded has a 10% provision to cover potential discounts Art enthusiasts use to facilitate sales. Discounts can exclusively be granted as discount tokens or as vouchers.
Discount tokens grant 10% off selected items on a gallery and vouchers 5% across all Artworks on blissart.com.
If your Artwork is sold:
Gallery fee
Earn 10% of the Artwork retailing price.
Sell your Artworks and your favorite works from other Artists through your gallery and earn a 10% gallery fee.
Provide vouchers to your peers, friends and relatives. As your network purchases Artworks across blissart.com using the voucher you provided, you secure your 10% gallery fee on those Artworks too!
Invitation fee and BLISSART commission (22%)
Invitation fee
The Art enthusiast who invited you is entitled to earn 10% of the Artworks you sell for 6 months and can keep on extending the benefiting period indefinitely when helping you sell your Artworks: either by purchasing your Artworks or selling them through the individual's gallery.
Invite new Artists and help them sell to earn the same!
BLISSART commission
BLISSART is funded by a 16% commission on the retailing price that covers the fees paid to collect payments on your behalf, development costs and pays the bills.
Your listing price is the amount you earn from the sale of your Artwork.
You enter you listing price while undertaking the Artwork upload steps, during the last step entitled “Pricing”.
As you reach the “Pricing” step, a maximum listing price is automatically computed based on the area slab your Artwork belongs to your current sales level. You can set your listing price within the price band.
The maximum listing price is established by combining two factors: the area slab of your Artwork (calculated as H x W) and your sales level.
Size drives price:
Artworks are categorized in 5 area slabs. The bigger the Artworks, the higher area slab they belong to, the more you can charge for them.
Evolutive pricing bands:
You can charge more for Artworks as you increase your sales level. You level up as your Artworks are sold and as you help other Artists sell their creations through your gallery.
The minimum listing price you can establish for an Artwork is $5 USD.
If your Artwork is framed, do not take into consideration the frame when providing the dimensions of the Artwork.
Artworks are classified under five different area slabs, each slab offering a maximum listing price according to your sales level.
The area slab your Artwork belongs to is automatically calculated based on your Artwork dimensions.
The area slab of your Artwork is calculated as Height x Width:
Area slab 1: | 0 to 900 cm2 | 0 to 139.5 sq inches |
---|---|---|
Area slab 2: | 900 to 5776 cm2 | 139.5 to 895.28 sq inches |
Area slab 3: | 5776 to 13924 cm2 | 895.28 to 2158.22 sq inches |
Area slab 4: | 13924 to 30976 cm2 | 2158.22 to 4801.28 sq inches |
Area slab 5: | 30976 cm2 | 4801.28 sq inches |
If your Artwork is framed, do not take into consideration the frame when providing the dimensions of the Artwork.
As you join BLISSART, you start with a sales level of 1, the highest level being 20.
You increase your sales level either as Artworks you uploaded are sold or as you help fellow Artist sell their creations through your gallery.
The level number indicates how many Artworks are to be sold in order to level up.
For example, at level 7: you level up as seven of your Artworks are sold or as you sell seven Artworks from other Artists on your gallery or most probably a mix of both.
If you sell one of your own Artworks through your gallery, the sale counts as one against your Artworks sold.
Every time you increase your sales level, the maximum listing price of every area slab increases by 5% in average.
The retailing price is the price a Buyer pays to acquire an Artwork, exclusive of transportation cost which is charged separately.
The retailing price of your Artwork is automatically calculated based on the listing price you enter when uploading your work, and is composed of:
Listing price
Your listing price is the amount you set and you earn from the sale of your Artwork.
Invitation fee
Fee you earn as an Artist and an Art Enthusiast for successfully inviting new Artists, calculated as 10% of an Artwork listing price.
Artwork Sponsoring fee
Fee you earn as an Artist and an Art Enthusiast as an Artwork you sponsored gets purchased while exhibited, calculated as 10% of an Artwork listing price.
Provision for discounts
Every Artwork uploaded has a 10% provision to cover potential discounts Art Enthusiasts use to facilitate sales, calculated as 10% of an Artwork retailing price.
Gallery fee
Fee you earn as an Art enthusiast for selling an Artwork from your gallery, calculated as 10% of an Artwork retailing price.
BLISSART commission:
BLISSART is funded by a 16% commission on sales that covers the fees paid to collect payments on your behalf, development costs and pays the bills, calculated as 16% of an Artwork retailing price.
There are many ways to live your passion with BLISSART: not only can you earn up to 78% of sales by selling your Artworks but you can also unlock unlimited earnings by successfully inviting new Artists, creating your gallery and promoting your favorite creations.
The maximum listing price evolves in proportion to your sales level and the area slab your Artworks belong to.
For gigantic Artworks belonging to the area slab 5, the maximum listing price is a continuation of the area slab 4 and is proportionate to your Artwork area. The maximum listing price is calculated as:
(maximum listing price from Area 4 relevant to your level x your Artwork area in [cm2]) / 30976
(maximum listing price from Area 4 relevant to your level x your Artwork area in [sq inch]) / 4801.28
An invitation fee is the fee you earn as an Artist and an Art Enthusiast for successfully inviting new Artists, calculated as 10% of an Artwork listing price sold.
As you invite a new Artist on BLISSART, you earn 10% of the Artworks sold by the Artist invited for 6 months, and can keep on extending the benefiting period indefinitely!
For example, as you successfully invite 30 Artists and each Artist sells one Artwork listed at 100$ every month, you earn 300$ a month!
The benefiting period of 6 months is reflecting as 180 days in your dashboard.
By signing up with your invitation code, Users gain 500 Points they can use to earn more, while you earn your invitation fee. It’s a win-win!
Users activating their Artist access can use points to:
Users activating their Art enthusiast access can use points to:
Users can activate both Artist and Art enthusiast accesses.
You can extend the invitation benefiting period as you help the Artists you invited sell their Artworks.
You can help invited Artists sell their Artworks and increase your benefiting period by 6 months at a time by:
Every time you purchase an Artwork from an Artist you invited or sell an Artwork from the same Artist through your gallery, you extend your benefiting period by 6 months.
For example, if you purchase one Artwork from an Artist you invited and sell two Artworks from the same Artist through your gallery, your benefiting period related to the specific Artist is increased by 18 months!
A benefiting period of 6 months is reflecting as 180 days in your dashboard.
Although you can keep on extending the invitation benefiting period indefinitely by continuously helping Artists you have invited, there is a maximum cumulated invitation benefiting period of ten years.
For example, if you sell 24 Artworks from an Artist you invited through your gallery in a month, you will see the invitation benefiting period of the given Artist increasing to a maximum of ten years in your dashboard, and not twelve years.
To see the Artists you have successfully invited and their related information, log in to your BLISSART user account and visit your Dashboard (https://www.blissart.com/dashboard)
Every Artist you invite grants you a benefiting period of 6 months, appearing as 180 days under your “Benefiting Period” on the Invited Artists page of your Dashboard.
When the benefiting period reaches zero, you irrevocably lose your invitation benefit from the given Artist.
From this point, you are no more entitled to the given Artist invitation fee, unable to extend the benefiting period, can’t see the Artist in your Invited Artists Dashboard anymore and the invitation fee entitlement is transferred to BLISSART.

On BLISSART, you judge which Artworks make it in an exhibition – you are the curator.
A Sponsoring fee is the fee you earn as an Artist or as an Art Enthusiast for sponsoring Artworks you see fit in future Exhibitions.
The moment an Artwork you sponsored gets purchased during a future or a weekly exhibition, you earn a sponsoring fee and your account is credited with up to 10% of the Artwork listing price.
If you were the only person sponsoring the Artwork when it got purchased, you are credited with the full 10% of the Artwork listing price. If you were 2, you are credited with 5% and if you were 10 which is the maximum, you are credited with 1% of the Artwork listing price.
Artists and Art Enthusiast can both sponsor Artworks.
As an Artist, you can sponsor Artworks as long as you have a minimum of 1 Artwork for sale in your atelier.
Art Enthusiast can sponsor Artworks as long as the Artists they successfully invited have collectively at least 1 Artwork for sale in their atelier.
Your sponsoring capacity corresponds to 1/3 of your total Artworks available for sale, constituted of Artworks for sale in your atelier and Artworks offered by the Artists you have successfully invited.
As an Artist who has NOT invited any other Artists, your sponsoring capacity corresponds to 1/3 of your Artworks for sale in your atelier; and is rounded up.
For example, if you have 28, 29 or 30 Artworks for sale in your atelier, your sponsoring capacity is of 10.
As an Artist who has successfully invited other Artists, your sponsoring capacity corresponds to 1/3 of the total Artworks available for sale, constituted of Artworks for sale in your atelier and Artworks offered by the Artists you have invited; and is rounded up.
For example, if you have 28 Artworks for sale in your atelier, and the Artists you invited have collectively 90, your Total Artworks for sale is of 118, bringing your sponsoring capacity to 40.
Art Enthusiasts who have successfully invited other Artists have a sponsoring capacity corresponding to 1/3 of the Artworks offered by the Artists they have invited; and is rounded up.
For example, if the Artists they invited are collectively offering 88, 89 or 90 Artworks, their sponsoring capacity is of 30.
Your sponsoring capacity corresponds to 1/3 of your total Artworks available for sale, constituted of Artworks for sale in your atelier and Artworks offered by the Artists you have successfully invited.
Hence, when your total Artworks available for sale decreases either because you have lesser Artworks for sale in your atelier or because the Artists you have invited have collectively lesser Artworks to offer, your sponsoring capacity decreases accordingly.
Your sponsoring capacity is refreshed:
Future exhibitions are restricted to Artists and Art enthusiasts during the 3 weeks that follow their announcement. Artists and Art enthusiasts use this time to create and sponsor Artworks they see fitting future exhibitions.
Passed 3 weeks, future exhibitions turn into weekly exhibitions: the sponsorship period closes and exhibitions open to the public for 3 weeks.
Although Buyers may acquire sponsored Artworks before exhibitions open to the public, on a gallery or on blissart.com, we have got the back of Artists and Art enthusiasts who sponsor.
On each of the following scenarios, a sponsored Artwork is bought on a gallery or blissart.com:
Scenario 1: while being sponsored in a single future exhibition.
The Users who sponsored the Artwork still earn their sponsoring fee.
Scenario 2: while being sponsored in a single weekly exhibition.
The Users who sponsored the Artwork still earn their sponsoring fee.
Scenario 3: while being sponsored in multiple future and weekly exhibitions.
The future or weekly exhibition where the Artwork received most sponsorships sees the Users who sponsored the Artwork still earn their sponsoring fee.
Scenario 4: while being sponsored in multiple future and weekly exhibitions with the same number of sponsorships.
The future or weekly exhibition where the Artwork got sponsored first sees the Users who sponsored the Artwork earn still their sponsoring fee.
You can sponsor any Artwork in a future exhibition: let it be your own, Artworks from Artists you have invited or any other creation you see fit!
Each Artwork can benefit up to a maximum of 10 sponsorships in a specific future exhibition.
Once the maximum is reached, the Artwork can’t be sponsored further in the given exhibition.
You can sponsor the same Artwork once per future exhibition, for an unlimited number of exhibitions.
No, once you sponsor an Artwork, you can’t recall the sponsorship.
Your sponsoring capacity is then refreshed as Artworks you sponsored get purchased or as weekly exhibitions end.
In a view to ensure the curatorial process remains impartial, you can’t see how many sponsors an Artwork enjoys.
No, you can only sponsor Artworks in future exhibitions during the 3 weeks that follow their announcement.
Passed 3 weeks, sponsoring closes, exhibitions open to the public and exhibition status move from future to weekly exhibitions.
Everyday, Artists and Art enthusiasts are granted a daily curation, inviting you to select your favorite Artist or Artworks.
Curate weekly exhibitions, trending Artworks or "hello, artists" and gain points you can use to earn more.
Rather than appointing “administrators” or “master curators”, we decided to build a place that fits everybody and let the community collectively decide who should be under spotlight.
You are the curator on BLISSART and your selection has a direct impact on what makes the first pages.
Points are a type of in-application currency that you can use to grow your atelier and used by Art enthusiasts to grow their gallery, discount Artworks by 10% on their gallery or provide vouchers to their network granting 5% discount off any piece purchased on blissart.com while securing their gallery fee on them.
