Original art on your walls. It costs you nothing, and you earn when it sells.
We hang it, label it and sell it. You take a share of every sale and the wall never goes empty.
For Venues
Original art on your walls. It costs you nothing, and you earn when it sells.
We place original paintings in venues across the New York metro area. You don't buy the work and you don't rent it. It hangs, your room looks better, and when a piece sells you take a share of the sale.
How it works
- We look at the space. Wall sizes, light, palette, and where people actually stand. Fifteen minutes, no obligation.
- We propose the pieces. Specific works for specific walls, shown to scale in your room. You approve every one — nothing goes up that you don't want.
- We install. We hang it and label it. Each label carries the title, the artist, the price and a code a guest can scan to buy on the spot.
- It hangs. Nothing on your P&L, nothing to manage. If a guest asks, your staff point at the label — that's the whole job.
- A piece sells. We take the payment, handle the shipping and pay everyone. You take a share of the sale price, the artist takes the majority, and we take a cut for running it.
- We replace it. A sold piece is swapped for another, so your walls never go empty and the room stays interesting to regulars.
Why a venue says yes
- It costs nothing. No purchase, no rental fee, no deposit. There is no line item.
- Your walls start earning. Wall space you already own becomes revenue instead of decoration.
- Originals, not prints. Guests can tell the difference, and it gives the room something to talk about.
- It changes. Rotation keeps the space feeling new to the people who come every week.
- No commitment to a piece you tire of. If something isn't working in the room, we swap it.
- We do the work. Hanging, labelling, selling, shipping, swapping. Your staff never handle a transaction.
