What makes us unique?
The Online Art Gallery breaks away from the traditional, profit-heavy model of art marketplaces. Unlike other platforms, we offer a low-commission, no listing fee, artist-first approach that’s open to all Australian artists over 18 years - regardless of background, location, or career stage. There are no complicated hoops to jump through, no gatekeeping, and no inflated fees. Just a supportive, transparent space where artists can showcase their work, grow their visibility, and make real sales.
Artists are encouraged to list and sell many forms of art, unlike other online platforms - whether it be paintings, hand-made jewellery, ceramics, greeting cards, glass art, textile art, sculpture, assemblage art, linocut prints, limited prints, photography, mosaics, resin art, collage, fashion accessories and more!
We provide more freedom to artists by allowing them to choose their preferred carrier or postal provider, opting to not deduct inflated freight and insurance charges. This simple change keeps more profit in the artists' pockets.
We do not restrict artists to use consistent pricing across other platforms. We purposely offer a lower commission structure, and understand that artists are likely to pass on the saving to buyers and collectors. An easy win-win in our eyes!
We’ve created a seamless, stylish experience for collectors too - where discovering and purchasing original Australian art and hand-made creations is easy, enjoyable, and direct. With fewer restrictions, more flexibility and a strong commitment to supporting independent talent, The Online Art Gallery is reimagining how art is shared and sold in Australia.
