Our Story

Art should reward
the artist who made it.

The traditional art marketplace extracts 40 to 50 percent of every sale. That means an artist who sells a painting for $500 takes home $250 — or less. Platforms built to feel like a gallery behave like a toll road.

Muse was built from a different premise: artists deserve to be paid for their work. We charge 15% commission. Full stop. That single number changes what it means to sell art online — painters keep more per canvas, photographers keep more per print, sculptors keep more per piece.

And for collectors, the equation changes too. When an artist earns fairly, they can charge fairly. The work you hang on your wall was made by a real person — someone with a story, a studio, and a reason they picked up a brush.

Artists earn more. Collectors pay fair. That is the whole idea.

How Muse Works

Built to return
art to the artist.

Three commitments. No fine print. The structure of Muse is designed around one belief: artists and collectors both deserve better.

01

15% commission.
That's it.

The art industry's standard take is 40 to 50 percent. Muse charges 15%. Every artist who sells through Muse keeps 85 cents of every dollar — not 50. That difference compounds across a career.

02

Your storefront.
Your name.

Every artist on Muse gets a real branded storefront — your own URL, your own aesthetic, your own bio. Not a listing on a platform where your work sits next to a thousand others. A home for your practice.

03

The story
behind the work.

Collectors don't just buy art. They buy the person, the place, the reason a painting was made. Muse gives every artist space to tell that story — so the work you buy comes with the human who made it.

The Artists

Every piece has a person
behind it.

Sculptor — Studio portrait
Sculpture · Clay · Bronze

The sculptor who works
with his hands every day.

He has been shaping clay since he was nineteen. Not as a hobby — as a practice. His studio smells like iron and wet earth, and every bust carries the weight of the hours he spent next to it. On Muse, he earns a living wage from his art for the first time in his career. He keeps 85% of every sale.

The painter who hasn't
stopped since college.

She paints at dawn, before her children wake. Watercolor on Arches paper — sailboats, harbor light, the color of mornings she wants to keep. For years she sold through a gallery that took half. Now her storefront on Muse is her own: her name, her palette, her prices. Buyers write to say they feel the early morning in her work.

I didn't want another print from a factory. I wanted to know whose hands made it. Muse told me that story.
