What Direct Arts Does
About art without the middle layer — discovering, commissioning, and buying work directly from the people who make it.
Finding working artists near you and online — open studios, studio trails, and maker fairs.
How purchasing from an artist works: pricing, editions, shipping, and what to ask first.
Requesting a custom piece — briefs, deposits, timelines, and keeping both sides happy.
Judging an artist's body of work so you know what the finished commission will feel like.
What galleries do, what they cost, and when going direct serves both artist and buyer better.
Building lasting relationships with artists — the collectors who get first look got there by showing up.
How Direct Arts Works
Find artists whose work stops you — through open studios, fairs, and their own online portfolios.
Talk to the maker: about the work, a price, or a commission — no intermediary required.
Buy the piece, hang the story with it, and follow the artist's work as it grows.
About
DirectArts — Art, straight from artists Part of the VentureOS network of 20,000+ smart entities, each built to create real value in its vertical. Backed by 63+ specialist agents, shared infrastructure, and a unified economy.
The artist keeps far more of the price — gallery commissions often take 40-50% — and you get the story, the process, and sometimes a studio visit with the work.
You agree on a brief, size, price, and timeline; pay a deposit; review a sketch or progress photos; and pay the balance on delivery. Everything in writing, even between friends.
No — they coexist. Galleries offer curation and career-building; direct sales offer access and margin. Many artists rely on both.
