The Online Art Market: Find and Compare Websites to Sell your Art

Due to the recent upgrade and redesign of EmptyEasel.com, this page is still under construction—so some of the links below aren't working yet. Please bear with us until we get everything sorted out. Thanks!

So where's the right place to sell your art online?

With all the options available today, that's not a simple question to answer—but we'd like to help make your decision a bit easier.

EmptyEasel's comparison chart gives an in-depth look at the features offered by some of the best art selling websites online. And if you check out our monthly traffic page you'll be able to see how those websites rank according to the number of visitors they receive each month.

What is the EE Art Market?

The EE Art Market is my attempt to find and categorize some of the more prominent art websites on the internet that sell artwork (original or reproductions) for contemporary artists.

If you've been considering different art websites to sell your paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, etc. . . look no further. The EE Art Market makes it easy to compare and contrast what each art website offers you, in features, pricing, traffic stats and more.

I created the EE Art Market because all too often artists get ripped off by websites that promise a lot but never deliver. I believe that with more information artists will be able to avoid those situations and find the best solution for selling their own artwork online.

Currently, only the ten art websites below are included. (Contact me if you know of other art-selling websites that I should add.)

Imagekind (Imagekind.com)
Boundless Gallery (BoundlessGallery.com)
Artist Rising (ArtistRising.com)
PicassoMio (PicassoMio.com)
Yessy (Yessy.com)
ArtFlock (ArtFlock.com)
RedBubble (RedBubble.com)
GoZabo (GoZabo.com)
Original Art Online (OriginalArtOnline.com)
Art By Us (ArtByUs.com)

The following paragraphs explain each of the four Art Market sections.

The Comparison Chart

I've put together a detailed online art gallery comparison chart to compare and contrast each of the ten websites' features, pricing, and more.

For example, if you want to sell prints of your artwork, there are currently three companies listed in the Art Market comparison chart that will print reproductions of your artwork, list your art prints online, hopefully sell your prints, and then mail them to the art buyer.

On the other hand, if you'd rather sell original paintings online, there are even more options—eight, to be exact. You'll also find that only six of the art websites will sell your handmade jewelry. . .and one doesn't let you sell your artwork on any other art website at the same time.

Whatever you're looking for in an online art gallery, EE's comparison chart can help you make the right choice. Check it out before selling your art on the internet.

The Monthly Traffic Graph

Traffic is very important for any website selling a product. In general, the more visitors a website gets each month, the more sales it will make.

With the Art Market monthly traffic graph artists now have a way to see just how well each of the ten art websites are doing, in terms of traffic.

I'll be updating traffic information around the 15th of each month, as new results are made available by my source, Compete.com.
