For artists across India
Sell your work to people who came looking for art.
A serious platform for serious artists. Only 10%, only when your work is delivered.
House of Arts is a curated gallery, not a marketplace stall. Every artist is reviewed, every piece is original, and every buyer arrived wanting to own something made by hand — not AI. You keep your copyright, set your own prices and ship from your own studio.
Applying is free and takes about ten minutes. We reply within 24–48 hours.
You list it. Photographs, dimensions, medium, your price — set all-inclusive, so the buyer sees one clear figure.
A person reads it. Every listing is reviewed before it goes live — 24 to 48 hours, with reasons if we send it back.
Buyers arrive wanting art. This is a gallery, not a category on a marketplace — people here are choosing a piece for a wall.

Before you list
What we accept
Being turned down is rarely about talent. These are the seven things a reviewer actually looks at — so you can check your own listing first.
1 of 7
Originality
Your own work, original rather than a copy of anything — including a reproduction of your own earlier piece. No print-on-demand, no mass production, nothing made by AI.
Check first: is this piece one of a kind, and did you make it?
2 of 7
Quality
Does the piece hold up. We would rather have four strong works from you than twenty uneven ones — a tight body of work sells better than a large one.
Check first: would you hang this in your own front room?
3 of 7
Image quality
Sharp, well lit, colour-true, nothing else in the frame. It is all a buyer has to go on, and it is the commonest reason a listing is sent back.
Check first: flat on, in daylight, no floor, no easel, no hands.
4 of 7
Attributes
Medium, surface, dimensions, year, framed or unframed — all correct. A wrong dimension becomes a dispute later, and disputes are judged against exactly what the listing said.
Check first: measure the piece again rather than trusting your memory.
5 of 7
Description
Something that actually describes the work, rather than three adjectives. What it is, how it was made, what it is of — the things a buyer would ask if they could.
Check first: no phone numbers, emails, websites or payment details in the text.
6 of 7
Concept
Is something being said. A buyer is choosing between you and someone else, and this is often what decides it — the piece that means something wins over the piece that merely matches a sofa.
Check first: can you say in one sentence what this work is about?
7 of 7
Price
Sensible for the size, the medium and your record. We will tell you if we think you have gone too low — underpricing your work damages you and everyone listing beside you.
Check first: does your price include packing, shipping, tax and the 10% fee?
Ready when you are
Register as an artist
Check your work against those seven and you will pass first time more often than not. Applying is free, takes about ten minutes and commits you to nothing — and if we do send something back, you always get the reason.
Photography is the one exception to originals-only: photographic work sells as signed, editioned archival prints.
Why artists choose House of Arts
The things that are different here, stated plainly enough to check — and to hold us to.
See pricingYou price it, and you keep what you price
No bidding, no discount campaigns run over your head, no gallery marking your work up by three times. You set an all-inclusive price, the buyer pays exactly that, and you keep it minus the 10% fee.
Originals only, so your work is not sitting beside prints of itself
No print-on-demand, no mass production, nothing made by AI. That rule is the reason a serious buyer trusts the listing next to yours — and the reason yours is taken seriously too.
Your copyright never transfers
Selling a piece transfers the physical work and nothing else. We never reproduce, license or print your work, and a buyer needs your permission for anything commercial.
You ship it yourself
Nobody knows how your work needs packing better than you do, and it passes through fewer hands. You choose the courier. The cost goes into your price, so the buyer sees free delivery.
Buyers arrive wanting art
This is a gallery, not a category on a general marketplace. People browsing here are choosing a piece for a wall, not comparing it against phone cases.
A real page, not a stall
Your own profile, your biography, your body of work in one place — something you can send to a collector, a curator or a gallery as your portfolio.
Ready when you are
Register as an artist
Applying is free, takes about ten minutes and commits you to nothing. We look at the work itself — not your following, not your exhibition history — and you hear back within 24–48 hours either way.
How selling here works
Four steps, and you can stop at any point without owing anything.
Step 1
Apply with your work
Tell us about your practice and show us what you make. We look at the work itself — not your following, not your exhibition history. You hear back within 24–48 hours, with reasons either way.
Step 2
Set up your profile
Choose a plan, write your biography, add your photograph. Your profile is a proper artist page with your own address on the gallery — not a seller account buried in a directory.
Step 3
List your work
Photographs, dimensions, medium, year, your price. Each listing is read by a person before it goes live, so what is published is accurate and the gallery stays worth browsing.
Step 4
Sell, ship, get paid
We take the order and the payment. You pack the piece, film the packing and dispatch it. 15 days after it arrives, your money is released, less the 10% fee.
Ready when you are

Applying is free, takes about ten minutes and commits you to nothing. If it is not right for you, we will say so plainly and tell you why.
For the artist
What protects you
Selling to strangers at a distance only works if both sides are covered. Here is your side — four things that sit between you and the thing going wrong.
01
Nobody ships into silence
The buyer pays before you dispatch. You are never sending work out and hoping to be paid afterwards — the money is already with us when you pack it.
02
Your packing video is your evidence
Film the piece and the packing in one take and send it with the dispatch details. If a complaint ever comes, that video shows the work left you sound. It is required, and it is required for your sake.
03
Disputes are judged on the listing
If a buyer raises something, we compare it against what your listing stated — dimensions, medium, framing, condition, photographs. A truthful listing holds. We do not decide by who complains hardest.
04
Transit damage sits with the courier
Ship with insurance covering the full value and keep the proof. Damage in transit is then recoverable from the courier rather than out of your payout.
Transparent by design
What it costs
Two charges, both stated up front. There is no third one later, and nothing is added at checkout.
Compare the plans10%
Convenience fee
Taken from your payout once a sale has been delivered successfully — never before, and never on work that does not sell. It covers the order handling, the buyer protection that makes people comfortable buying art online, and the follow-up after a sale.
Plan
Membership
A monthly or yearly plan setting how many pieces you can have listed at once. Paying yearly costs ten months rather than twelve. Every plan is paid — there is no free tier, because a gallery of people who are serious is worth more to you than a crowd.
None
Listing fees
There are none. Listing a piece costs nothing, keeping it listed costs nothing, and work that does not sell costs you nothing at all. We only earn when you do — which is the arrangement that keeps us honest about helping you sell.
All-inclusive
Work out your price before you list
The figure you enter is the figure the buyer pays — nothing is added at checkout. So start from what you want for the piece, then add your packing, your shipping, any tax you owe and the 10% fee. What is left is yours. Buyers see one clear price with delivery included, which is why work sells here.
Ready when you are
Register as an artist
No charge to apply, no charge to list, and nothing taken until a piece sells and reaches its buyer. You will know every figure before you commit to any of it.
Those are all of them. No commission on enquiries, no fee for events, nothing deducted that is not named here.
Do I need an exhibition history?
No. We look at the work. Plenty of artists here are selling publicly for the first time, and a reviewer never sees your follower count or your CV — only what you make.
Can I sell elsewhere at the same time?
Yes. Nothing here is exclusive and we do not ask for exclusivity. Just keep your listings in step across wherever you sell, so one piece is never sold twice.
What if my work does not sell?
It costs you nothing beyond your plan. There are no listing fees and no charge on unsold work. We will also tell you honestly if we think the photographs or the price are what is holding it back — we only earn when you do, so there is no reason for us to be polite about it.
How many pieces can I list?
That depends on your plan — each sets how many artworks you may have live at once. You can change plan whenever you like as your practice grows, and your account always shows what you are using against it.
Who handles the buyer?
We do — the order, the payment, the questions beforehand and anything that goes wrong afterwards. You make the work, photograph it honestly and ship it well. That division is the whole point of listing with a gallery rather than selling from your own feed.
What if I stop paying for a plan?
Posting new work pauses. Everything you have already published stays exactly where it is — your profile, your listings, your sold record — and renewing turns posting back on straight away. Nothing is deleted and nothing is hidden.
What does it actually cost me?
Two things, and no third. A membership plan, monthly or yearly. And a 10% convenience fee taken from your payout once a piece has sold and been delivered — never before, and never on work that does not sell.
How long until I hear back?
24 to 48 hours. Every application is read by a person rather than filtered automatically, and you get a reason either way — including when the answer is no, because a reason is the only part of a refusal worth anything.
