About ArtBid

ArtBid is an online auction marketplace built for artists, collectors, and crafters who want a simple, transparent place to sell and discover unique work. From original paintings and sculptures to handmade jewelry, vintage collectibles, and one-of-a-kind weird items, ArtBid brings together a vibrant community of creators and buyers in a single, easy-to-use platform.

We designed ArtBid for everyone — whether you're an emerging artist listing your first piece, an established gallery reaching new collectors, or a bargain hunter searching for hidden treasures. Our English and Dutch auction formats give sellers flexibility, while built-in escrow, dispute resolution, and authentication tools give buyers confidence. There are no listing fees and just a flat 8% commission on completed sales, so you keep more of what you earn.

ArtBid is built and maintained by a small, dedicated team of developers, designers, and art enthusiasts who believe that selling art and collectibles online should be effortless and fair. We're constantly improving the platform based on community feedback, adding features like artist studios, commissions, gamified rewards, and more — all with the goal of making the marketplace work better for you.
