Questions

Who can apply?

Practising creatives over 18, in any discipline, anywhere we sell. You don’t need to be well known: we’re looking for people who make work seriously and want to help build a community.

What happens after the first year?

You can carry on as a Professional at a founders’ price of £9 a month, or choose another level, including Member, which is free. We’ll email you a month before and a week before, and nothing is charged unless you choose it. You keep your affiliate code either way.

Do I have to bring anyone in?

No, never. There are no targets. The 20% is there if you’d like to share Artist Created with people you know; being a founder doesn’t depend on it.

How and when is the 20% paid?

Monthly, through Stripe, straight to your bank. Each commission waits 14 days in case of a refund, and payments go out once you’ve earned £20. You set up payments in Account.

Can I be one of the 100 if I’m under 18?

No. Young creators have their own private Studio, looked after by a parent, and it never involves selling or earning from others.
