Artist Mentorship
How We Work
Apply for Consideration
Submit your work for review through our curated intake process.
Artists complete a short application and upload 4–6 representative works. We assess visual alignment with trade preferences and evaluate potential for commercial placement.
Receive Initial Feedback
If there’s a fit, we’ll guide next steps—no guesswork required.
Accepted applicants receive constructive feedback and recommendations for adapting their work to suit high-end interiors. You’ll have two opportunities to revise and resubmit at no extra charge.
Submit Works for Approval
Tailor a sample collection based on provided creative direction.
Artists will receive a style brief (color palette, subject matter, sizing guidance). You’ll then submit works that reflect these parameters for potential catalog inclusion.
Formalize the Agreement
We keep terms flexible, fair, and tailored to mutual success.
Once a selection is approved, we finalize your agreement—typically consignment-based with optional exclusivity. Details like pricing, shipping, and rights will be covered clearly.
Catalog Placement & Launch
Your work, elevated for discerning design professionals.
Once approved, artworks are professionally photographed, described, and added to our private designer catalog. Sales are processed through KMIAG, and certificates of authenticity are issued for every piece placed.
Ongoing Review & Collaboration
You’ll receive periodic updates, insights, and opportunities.
We track sales, monitor designer feedback, and may invite additional works based on market trends. Our goal is a lasting, productive partnership that grows with you.
