A marketplace
with standards. A platform
with a point of view.
We verify every artist. We hold funds in escrow. We mediate disputes. We take a clear commission, publish it, and never collect more quietly. This page is the full explanation — every flow, every rule, every fee. No surprises.
Sell your work.
Keep your craft.
Ateliera exists because contemporary artists get taken advantage of everywhere else. We built a platform where the commission structure is public, the shipping terms are real, and the verification process actually verifies.
The full artist guide covers the five-day verification, what we accept and what we decline, pricing guidance, shipping requirements, escrow timing, and the partner program.

Not from noise.
Every artist on Ateliera is verified by a human. Every artwork is photographed by the artist. Every payment is held in escrow until you confirm the piece has arrived and is what was promised. If it isn’t, we mediate.
Funds are held until you confirm delivery. You have 3 days after delivery to report damage or misrepresentation. Verified artists, real tracking, transparent pricing, no hidden fees.
The full collector guide covers the taste quiz, wishlist mechanics, the buying flow, shipping quotes, escrow timing, dispute resolution, and how to resell a piece through our secondary market.

Earn on what you close.
If you advise collectors professionally, Ateliera gives you a workspace — clients, projects, recommendation boards with curatorial commentary, and a clear commission when a client buys from a board you built.
The full advisor guide covers the application process, client onboarding, the three-pane recommendation builder, attribution tracking, and payout timing.
Read the full advisor guide→Work with someone
who knows art.
Buying art is personal. If you want a thinking partner — someone who knows your space, your budget, your taste, and can send you three well-argued recommendations instead of a thousand tiles — we’ll match you with an advisor on our vetted roster.
There’s no cost to request. If you buy, the advisor’s 15% is included in the piece’s price — not added on top. Full details on the advisory guide.

works privately.
For owners of privately-held works seeking a discreet channel — estate sales, collection rotations, dealer consignments — Ateliera offers private brokering with off-market discretion and institutional-grade documentation.
Private sales require provenance documentation, condition reports, and where relevant, authentication. We work with a small number of sellers at any time to maintain the quality of the channel.
Full details on eligibility, the vetting process, fee structure, and timeline in the private seller guide.

between the sales.
A marketplace is more than a list of works for sale. Around the transactions we build the experiences collectors return for — curated exhibitions, live auctions, market intelligence, and editorial that takes its subject seriously.
The virtual gallery
Curated exhibitions in virtual rooms, at true scale. Collectors walk through, ask questions in the live chat and tell us which works they love. Archives stay up after the exhibition closes.
Enter Vernissage →Timed bidding
Seasonal curated auctions of works from top-performing and waiting-list artists. Anonymous bidding, confidential reserves, 30% buyer’s premium on the hammer price. The winner pays within 7 days, and the payment is held until the work arrives.
View Auctions →The Art World
The Art World follows the fairs, exhibitions and art news that matter to contemporary collectors, alongside what is happening on Ateliera.
View The Art World →Editorial with a voice
Long-form interviews, studio visits, exhibition notes, and context for the artists we show. Written by our curators and invited guest editors. No content farming, no AI. Published when there’s something to say.
