Question 1

How does selling art on Foundmyself work, and how can it be free?

Accepted Answer

Foundmyself provides two ways to sell art: 1. Selling directly — here the artist handles all aspects of the sale, including shipping; and 2. Selling through Foundmyself's prints program — you set a piece's markup and keep that amount for each sale, and Foundmyself gets the remaining amount. We can allow artists to sell free directly to buyers because we earn proceeds from the prints program and our 'Pro' accounts. And we're a little bit nuts.

Question 2

How can I make money by selling my art online with Foundmyself?

Accepted Answer

If you sell the art directly to a buyer, then as mentioned, you keep 100% of the sale (minus third-party fees outside of Foundmyself). If you use our print-on-demand program, you can choose your markup and keep all of it after a sale. For example, if the base price of a canvas print is $20 and you mark it up 50% ($30), you'll receive $10 after it sells.

Can I sell art prints?

Question 5

Do you offer standalone portfolio websites with a domain included?

To access the free website, you simply add your Foundmyself username to a URL. That's it! For instance, 'ReachArtWebsites' is the username in this example: https://reach.gallery/ReachArtWebsites – with the general format being: https://reach.gallery/username

Question 7

What are the differences between the free and paid accounts?

Question 9

How does buying art on Foundmyself work?

Accepted Answer

On Foundmyself there are two ways to shop for art: 1. Buying art directly from the artist and 2. Buying products sold by Foundmyself. Artists on Foundmyself can sell their work commission free when selling to you directly, meaning they keep 100% of each sale (less any costs they might incur outside of our website). We don't charge a listing fee, either. You'll know you're purchasing from the artist when you see a large 'Request' button on the artwork's page. Clicking this will bring up a contact form that reaches the artist. Another way artists sell art on Foundmyself is through our prints program. These products include customized mugs, canvas prints, phone cases, and more. Shopping these items means you'll receive our 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Question 10

How do I buy art directly from an artist?

Accepted Answer

When you see a piece for sale that's direct from an artist on Foundmyself, there will be a 'Request' button that you can use to contact them. From then on, the transaction is between you and them, so it's important to cement the purchase details before committing. Should you complete the transaction, you can feel good knowing that Foundmyself took no commission. We have more information on buying art directly from the artist here: https://www.foundmyself.com/help/article/buying-art-directly-from-the-artist

Question 11

What's your return policy?

Accepted Answer

We offer 30-day returns under certain circumstances for art purchased through Foundmyself. Return policies for art bought directly from artists are the responsibility of you and the artist making the transaction. For more information about our return policy and satisfaction guarantee, see this article: https://www.foundmyself.com/help/article/satisfaction-guarantee-return-policy

Question 12

What's your shipping policy?

Accepted Answer

If you purchase directly from an artist, shipping details are between you and them. If you purchase a product through our website that we sell through our prints program, then shipping costs and times depend on which item(s) you purchase. Please see our detailed policy here: https://www.foundmyself.com/help/article/shipping-policy

Question 13

How do I contact an artist?

When viewing a piece of art in our gallery, you'll see a few places where the artist's username is listed, often next to their profile photo. Click their username to bring up their main gallery page, where you'll see a contact button.
