How to enter the global market with Fine Art America: a simple guide for artists

If you are an artist and dream of having collectors from all over the world see your work, Fine Art America will be a great starting point. It is one of the largest online platforms for selling art, where you can offer prints, posters, souvenirs, and even the originals of your paintings. In this article, we will explain how Fine Art America works, how to properly set up your profile, upload your works, and set prices to increase your chances of selling and find your audience among millions of visitors to the platform.

What is Fine Art America?

Fine Art America (FAA) is one of the largest online platforms in the world for selling artworks and products featuring them. The platform provides artists, photographers, and graphic designers with tools to showcase and monetize their talent.

Who is this platform for?

FAA is perfect for both beginners and established artists. If you want to expand your audience beyond your local gallery or social media, this platform is for you. Here, creators working in a wide variety of styles and techniques find their admirers — from classical painting and digital art to photography and abstractionism.

How does it work and how much does it cost?

The principle of Fine Art America is very simple. As an artist, you control your income.

• Registration. Creating an account on Fine Art America is free. A standard free account allows you to upload up to 25 works. For those who want more, there is a premium account that costs only $30 per year, which removes the limit on the number of uploaded images and provides additional marketing tools.
• Pricing and Commission. The platform operates on a “print-on-demand” model. FAA sets the base price for each product (canvas, poster, mug, phone case, etc.). You, in turn, set your own markup on top of this price. This markup is your net income. For example, if the base price of a canvas is $50 and you set a markup of $25, the final price for the buyer will be $75, and you will earn $25. Important advantage: when selling originals of your works, Fine Art America does not charge a commission — you receive 100% of the price you set.
• Assortment. You upload a single image, and the platform automatically offers buyers hundreds of product options with your print, from classic reproductions on canvas and paper to home décor items, clothing, and accessories.
• Payouts. Ukrainian artists receive payments from Fine Art America via PayPal. Payouts are made monthly, on the 15th, if the balance exceeds $100.

When a buyer finds and orders your work on Fine Art America, the system processes the payment and confirms the transaction. If it’s about prints and merchandise, the printing and basic shipping are handled by the platform itself. But if the buyer orders an original piece, the entire responsibility for shipping lies with the artist. This is where having a reliable shipping partner becomes essential.
