How ArtBoxes works.
ArtBoxes opens original artwork to a buyer pool a hundred times larger — without asking artists to lower their prices.
- 1
An artist configures a sale.
Original physical work — a painting, a print run, a sculpture — listed at the artist's price.
- 2
The work is attached to boxes.
A $2,500 painting becomes 100 sealed boxes at $25 each. One box contains the original. The rest hold a consolation piece the artist defines — a signed print, a numbered insert, a personal note.
- 3
Buyers purchase boxes.
At an accessible entry price, thousands of fans can participate where only a few hundred plausible buyers existed before.
- 4
The sale closes and the original ships.
A transparent, verifiable randomization picks the winner. The artist ships directly. Non-winners receive what the artist defined.
- 5
Boxes can be traded afterward.
On the secondary market, collectors can resell their boxes. Every resale pays the artist a royalty — forever.
One winner. Ninety-nine fans engaged.
A $2,500 piece, opened up. 100 boxes at $25 each. Same revenue for the artist, a much wider audience.
