New artist-led sales platform developed to support professional visual artists and makers

    Exhibtd is a new curated online platform from CuratorSpace that connects artists and buyers, offering a fair and transparent way to buy and sell original art and limited editions without commission or listing fees.

    Exhibtd allows artists to sell original artworks, as well as limited edition prints and reproductions, without paying any commission or listing fees. Unlike many commercial platforms, Exhibtd ensures that 100% of each sale goes directly to the artist. This approach supports artists’ livelihoods and contributes to a fairer and more sustainable art community.

    The platform features a growing range of paintings, prints, textiles, photography, ceramics and mixed- media works, making it easy for both new and experienced collectors to discover and purchase directly from artists.

    Key benefits

    • 0% commission and no listing fees
    • Artists keep 100% of every sale
    • Direct connections between artists and buyers
    • Curated platform showcasing original artworks, prints and limited editions
    • Access to a growing audience of collectors, art buyers and interior designers
    • Support from the team behind CuratorSpace, a trusted platform used by thousands of artists and arts organisations

    “We created Exhibtd because we wanted to help buyers find original art and limited editions and to support artists to develop a more sustainable practice,” said Louise Atkinson, Founder and Director of CuratorSpace.

    Artists already part of the CuratorSpace community are embracing the new platform.

    “For an embroidery artist like myself, finding the right audience for my work is essential. CuratorSpace has always been a reliable place for finding exhibition and commission opportunities, but with the addition of Exhibtd, it’s become a complete package,” said Rowan Bridgwood, an early Exhibtd user.

    When I saw the Exhibtd platform, I thought it would be a good way for me to link it directly to my website with a shop directly to Exhibtd, so for the collector it feels as if they are buying direct from the artist website.” said Sal Jones who has made sales through Exhibtd.

    Early sales

    Since its launch in November 2025, Exhibtd has generated sales for participating artists, with works purchased by private collectors and interior designers seeking original artwork for homes and commercial projects.

    These early sales highlight the demand for a platform that enables buyers to discover and purchase artwork directly from artists while ensuring creators receive the full value of their work.

    “I’ve found the upload and sales process extremely smooth, and have had excellent aftercare from the Exhibtd team. It’s been really valuable to have a shopfront as an emerging artist, it looks really professional and gives me control over my own sales.” said Jenny Beard, a painter selling her work through Exhibtd.

    Growing a sustainable art marketplace

    Exhibtd aims to make buying original art more accessible while helping artists build sustainable careers. By removing commission and listing fees, artists can focus on creating work rather than navigating expensive sales platforms.
