Artist FAQ

What’s an invitation fee?

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.

What do Users gain by signing up with my invitation code?

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:

• Grow their atelier sizeand increase the number of listings.

Users activating their Art enthusiast access can use points to:

• Grow their gallery size increase the number of Artworks exhibited,
• Discount Artworks by 10% on their gallery facilitating their sale,
• Provide vouchers to their network, granting 5% discount off ANY piece purchased on blissart.com while securing their gallery fee on them.

Users can activate both Artist and Art enthusiast accesses.

How can I extend the invitation benefiting period?

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:

• purchasing an Artwork from the Artist you invited.
• selling an Artwork from the Artist you invited through your gallery.

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.

Is there a maximum cumulated invitation benefiting period?

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.

Where can I see the Artists I have successfully invited?

What happens when the benefiting period reaches zero?

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.

What happens if a User signs up without invitation code?

By signing up without an invitation code, Users do NOT gain the 500 Points they would have earned by signing up using an invitation code and the invitation fee is irrevocably granted to BLISSART.

What is a sponsoring fee?

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.

Who can sponsor Artworks?

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.

How many Artworks can I sponsor?

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.

What happens when my total Artworks available for sale decreases?

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.

I have used my full Artwork sponsoring capacity, when will it be refreshed?

Your sponsoring capacity is refreshed:

• gradually as Artworks you sponsored get purchased.
• when a weekly exhibition ends, by the number of Artworks you had sponsored into the exhibition.

What is the difference between future and weekly exhibitions?

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.

What happens when a sponsored Artwork is bought outside weekly exhibitions?

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.

What Artworks can I sponsor in a future exhibition?

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!

Why am I unable to sponsor an Artwork into a future exhibition?

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.

How many times can I sponsor the same Artwork?

You can sponsor the same Artwork once per future exhibition, for an unlimited number of exhibitions.

Can I recall a sponsorship?

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.

Can I see how many people are sponsoring the same Artwork?

In a view to ensure the curatorial process remains impartial, you can’t see how many sponsors an Artwork enjoys.

Can I sponsor an Artwork in a weekly exhibition?

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.

What are daily curations?

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.

What are points?

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.

How can I earn points?

When signing up with the invitation code of a friend who invited you to join, you gain 500 points.

Users joining without entering an invitation code miss this opportunity.

You can continuously earn points by completing daily curations. By doing so, not only do you gain points everyday but also express your curating views.

You are the curator on BLISSART and your selection has a direct impact on what makes the first pages.

Enabling Users to buy points would transgress this bedrock considering inequalities in disposable income.

What happens to my daily curations if I don’t log in every day?

Whether you don’t log in every day or haven’t completed a daily curation, don’t worry.

You can store up to three daily curations at most and can come back to them whenever you feel like to express your curating views and gain points.

Do I get more daily curations by also unlocking the Art enthusiast profile?

No, you are granted a single daily curation per day, irrespective of if you have activated both your Artist and Art enthusiast profiles.
