How do I create an artist profile?

1. Set up Stripe: To make your art available for sale on Atelie, you need to register and connect a Stripe account. Although Stripe doesn't have a dedicated art category, select the closest match.

If your business isn't VAT registered, just enter your organization number followed by MVA.

Stripe is a trusted payment gateway used by renowned companies like Kickstarter, Twitter, and Shopify. One advantage of using Stripe is that once a sale is made, the funds are automatically transferred to your bank account after deducting our 15% commission and Stripe's approximately 2-2.5% transaction fee.

2. Tell us about you and your art: Share some details about yourself and your artistic journey. Add links to your website and Instagram profile. You can also provide your studio address to appear on our map.

3. Upload artworks: You can upload one artwork at a time. For artwork priced above 2000 NOK, a 5% art fee will be automatically added. Read more on kunstavgiften.no

4. Adding Exhibitions: List past, ongoing, or upcoming exhibitions. Current exhibitions will appear on our app map.

5. Share Your Profile: Broaden your reach by sharing the link to your Atelie profile on your website or social media, especially when you have new uploads or profile updates.
