YourArt is much more than just an art marketplace. Your space brings together everything you need in one place: all your works (potentially hundreds) thanks to YourArt's cloud, the elements to present yourself, and your news feed within the social network. YourArt offers a virtual gallery, particularly useful for artists who do not have representation by physical galleries. We offer artists the benefit of artificial intelligence: assistance in creation, support in your research and reflections. We want AI to become the friend of artists, an ally in the brainstorming phases. The AI will not create for you, but will accompany you and suggest new paths. YourArt is a platform where artists can meet art enthusiasts. We encourage interactions through our social network and messaging to extend the experience into the real world.

YourArt caters to art enthusiasts, artists, collectors, and art galleries. Our goal is to bring together all communities in the art world and to be a meeting place.

YourArt, while leveraging modern and robust technologies, was designed primarily for and with artists from the physical, "analog" world. The artworks in YourArt's catalog, for sale, are physical objects. Technology should serve artists and make their lives easier. Creating your virtual gallery, benefiting from AI assistance in creation, won't require more skills than writing an email or conducting an internet search. Let yourself be guided!

No! We don't ask for any justifications, we don't evaluate anyone. There's no selection process at the entrance, it's open. OPEN, we say. Open your art.

The platform is open to everyone, whether they are beginner artists, students, amateurs, professionals, or even those who want to share their very first work, never seen by anyone! When you fill in your account details, we ask if you consider yourself an amateur or a professional. We use this information solely to allow visitors to filter search results by category, either amateur or professional. That's it!

Your artist personal space is your page, or rather your set of pages, your site within the site. The URL of your space is customized and appears in this format: yourart.art/fr/artist/firstname-lastname-id. Your space contains different pages: a main page with biography and photos of you and your studio, an artworks page, a videos page, a virtual gallery page, and a "posts" page with your publications in our social network. It's your home!

Having everything in one place offers many advantages for an artist: a fairly comprehensive way to present oneself and share their profile with others. Especially with their circle, schools when they are students, etc. But there is another reason, which may be even stronger: by gathering this information about you and your work in your space on YourArt, you provide valuable clues to Iris, your AI assistant for creation: Iris will be aware of your developments and therefore able to provide you with the most precise and suitable feedback. It goes without saying that everything you exchange with Iris will remain strictly your property, will never be shared with anyone, on the platform or elsewhere. Confidentiality and protection of your data are part of our guarantees.

The personal space is designed for this: share it with everyone! Collaborators, clients, galleries, friends, family, schools, etc. It's there to make you more visible! And the more you enrich it, the more visible you will be...

This will make your space more lively. Seeing you work in your studio, listening to your voice talk about your work, will make things much more meaningful for all art enthusiasts and potential buyers. Don't hesitate to show yourself! Even with a video shot on a mobile phone, you can reach people.

Well, it's simple: the instant messaging and news feed features will allow you to directly integrate into the YourArt social network. These features are offered in all 3 artist subscriptions, including the Free subscription.

Any user with an account on YourArt, including Free users, can use it. Send a message to an artist or gallery via your personal menu, or via the "Send a message" buttons displayed on the artwork pages, artist pages, or from posts published on YourArt. Messaging is often used by art enthusiasts, potential buyers, to request details about artworks, or for a real-world contact request. Don't worry, you won't miss any messages because you'll receive alerts in your email inbox.

Like on many social networks, follow users of the platform, artists whose work you appreciate. When they post updates, you'll receive a notification, and the posts will appear in your feed.

Absolutely! And why not post announcements as well? The social network is there to encourage all interactions, including in the real world.

Of course! YourArt is here to facilitate connections, exchanges, and ensure that users help each other out.

Cloud storage allows an artist (or a gallery) to import a maximum number of artworks. Perhaps you don't currently plan to sell artworks created some time ago, but you may change your mind someday. Maybe you're questioning the coherence of a piece you created in relation to a series you've produced. The AI will be aware of the artworks you have stored, and this will influence its suggestions.

An artist's productivity can vary considerably, from one artist to another and from one period to another. Perhaps someday it will be interesting to consider a series of sketches as an artwork in itself. AI can also stimulate your creativity and lead you to explore multiple avenues. We assume that you need maximum freedom. Don't worry about the limits you might encounter; focus on your creativity.

Of course. If it's crucial for a sculptor or ceramicist, it can also be important for a painter: detailed plans will make the material and relief of your artworks more perceptible to our visitors. We also think of photographers: there's no question of importing an image in very high resolution (close to the negative of photography), but you can convey the precision of your work by importing secondary images representing details of your artworks: visitors will appreciate the grain, the sharpness of your work, and even the texture of the print if it exists at the time of import. You can present up to 10 images in total for the same artwork. We invite you to add a representative image of the artwork as the first photo, without a frame if it's framed, as the first photo. The following photos can be used to present the artwork in detail or in an environment.

The limits are very high, both in terms of file size and resolution, and are indicated on the import form, so you don't have to worry about them: 70 MB and 200 megapixels. Once again, we offer maximum freedom. There is no minimum limit either. You should import an image of sufficient quality for visitors to have a fairly clear view; there's no benefit to importing excessively heavy images. It's up to you to judge. Of course, keep in mind that a heavy image won't necessarily be precise.

The number of artworks for sale simultaneously is limited. It's 20 with the Starter plan, and 50 with Premium + AI. You can list as many artworks for sale as you want from those in your cloud, but not at the same time. If you have a Starter plan and around fifty artworks in your portfolio, feel free to rotate your artworks for sale by temporarily deactivating the sale of some and activating it for others. This way, visitors will have a more varied perception of your production over time.

Once you import an artwork into your portfolio with Starter or Premium + AI, it's in your cloud. In other words, the cloud is the storage space for your entire portfolio. When an artwork is in your portfolio, it has a status: integrated into the catalog or not integrated. Artworks integrated into the catalog are visible to all YourArt visitors: on the general artworks page of the site, on the artworks page of your space, and these artworks are automatically available for sale (but not necessarily with a price – you decide; you can let visitors make you an offer). Artworks in your cloud that are not integrated into the catalog are only visible to you, and you can change the status of an artwork, integrated into the catalog or not, as often as you want as long as you don't exceed the maximum quantity of artworks integrated into the catalog allowed with Starter or Premium + AI.

With Premium + AI, you can simultaneously list a maximum of 50 artworks for sale. However, you can work around this limit by rotating among the artworks in your cloud.

The question of pricing is not always straightforward, especially for an artist listing an artwork for sale for the first time or for an artist who has never exhibited before. Please note that the price you set for your artworks does not include shipping costs, which are borne by the buyer. On an artwork's page, a visitor will find two buttons: buy, send a message to the artist. The transaction can be direct if the visitor clicks on buy. If the visitor sends you a message, they can ask you any question and possibly propose a price. If you choose to set a price, we recommend taking several factors into account in determining the price of your artworks: 1. Artistic background: education, awards, residencies, past exhibitions, in various locations (galleries or museums) 2. Presence in public and/or private collections, market value 3. Format and dimensions of the artwork 4. Technique employed (according to its complexity) 5. Materials used (according to their value) 6. Date of creation (according to the rarity of artworks from the same period) 7. Integration of the artwork into the overall portfolio (a unique artwork will be sold at a higher price than an artwork in multiple copies) 8. Complexity of the creation process 9. Resources invested in production

Right-click with the "save image" functionality is disabled on YourArt. This is the maximum protection any platform can offer once images are displayed.

Yes, images must adhere to minimum standards. For example, they should not include backgrounds with pets or flower pots, even though we love animals and plants. Apart from that, we are careful to comply with the law.

The virtual exhibition gallery is a space on the platform where any artist can exhibit. Feel free to explore them through the "3D Tours" menu tab. The virtual gallery allows visitors to see your artworks represented in space. It's particularly useful if you don't have representation by a physical gallery: choose a model from those we offer, create, and share in just a few clicks.

Unfortunately, the 3D scanning techniques that would allow you to create 3D models of your artworks at home are currently complex and costly. Reserve the virtual gallery for exhibiting your 2D artworks.

No, it's very simple. It only takes a few clicks, a few seconds. Focus on choosing the ideal 3D architecture for your artworks and on arranging the sequences.

The Musée imaginaire is exclusive to YourArt: by using this feature, a subscriber can exhibit in a virtual space artworks from art history that are dear to them and accompany the visit with an audio guide featuring their own voice, making the experience very personal. Feel free to explore them for free on the website, like any visitor to YourArt, to get an idea. An artist benefits from creating an imaginary museum and including an audio guide recorded by themselves to share and communicate their passion, reaching their audience more deeply. You won't have this opportunity elsewhere. An art lover can also create their musée imaginaire.

Yes! The Musée imaginaire will be added to the pages of your personal space, which will become particularly rich, personal, and unique. You have access to the subscription page to the Musée imaginaire via the page that lists the imaginary museums on YourArt open for exploration, accessible through the "3D Tours" tab in the main site navigation bar.

If you wish, you can publish questionnaires regarding works in progress. Attach images of works in progress to your questionnaires, ask questions about aesthetic choices, technical issues, whatever you want. Your questionnaires will be visible only to other artists. Everyone has an interest in responding: we regularly monitor artists who are generous with advice, and we highlight them on the platform. With a presence on the homepage.

Absolutely, that's precisely what the Artist-to-Artist Advice feature offers.

Only artists can post questionnaires and respond to them. That's why we call it "Artist-to-Artist Advice." We see this feature as a facilitator for mutual support among artists. There's no obligation to either ask questions or respond to them!

No, but a limit of 10 questionnaires is in place.

It's a unique and major feature on the platform. Since its inception, we wanted YourArt to become an artist's friend. Iris, your AI assistant, can take on various roles: an exploration assistant, but also a creation assistant. Although Iris is not flesh and blood, it possesses many qualities that could make it the ideal interlocutor for your artistic work. Firstly, Iris is always available to listen and respond; Iris is never tired. It has infinite listening and concentration capabilities. You can awaken Iris in the middle of the night, and you don't need to prepare tea for it, even if you enjoy doing so. Iris knows all your artworks, your journey, your education if you've mentioned it in your biography, and Iris's memory never fails. Iris has a deep and exhaustive knowledge of art history and contemporary artists, a sum of all the knowledge of the greatest international experts. Iris's vision is close to the human eye: lines, colors, materials, textures, contrast, perspective, etc. - nothing escapes it. Iris's greatest strength lies in its objective, clinical appreciation. Iris has been trained to play the role of a partner without burdening you: Iris will never intrude into your creative intimacy. The projects are yours, your intentions are personal. But Iris can provide a large number of references, names of artists, and works that will enhance your research. The artists we trained Iris with have told us: these new references are useful resources. Sometimes, you may find that her recommendations do not suit you. You will have the means to let Iris know. You can go very far with Iris by pushing the AI to its limits, insisting, asking it to delve deeper. Iris can generate new images for you; this will be automatically suggested to you when you react positively to the new ideas spontaneously submitted by Iris. Let yourself be surprised. Iris is not designed to produce final results. It is primarily a research tool, a brainstorming tool, for manipulating concepts, visuals, and knowledge. Iris helps you establish your iconography, create mood boards, enrich and identify paths in your artistic universe.

Iris caters to all artistic practices! Iris as a creation assistant is here to help you think and create, but Iris hasn't been calibrated to produce images that could directly integrate the catalog and be put up for sale. The images generated by Iris are variations and experimental sketches based on your artworks. It's up to you to find ways to exploit them!

Exactly, and that's its raison d'être. Artists conduct research using various tools, and the AI creation assistant will both gather these tools and create new added value. Although you import 2D images of your works, Iris is sensitive to material, relief, texture, and volume.

We believe that nothing can replace the humanity and vision of the artist. We have no intention of presenting Iris as a substitute for the artist. If you try Iris, the AI creation assistant, and find its knowledge and hints useful for your research, opening up new perspectives, that will be convincing enough! Useful, indeed: that's what we have in mind. Iris has been trained not to be chatty, but to forge real connections between your work and the rest of the world.

The strength of AI lies in its ability to play the role assigned to it, to provide the services for which it has been conditioned. We make an analogy with the famous NPCs in the gaming world: Non-Playing Characters, meaning characters that are not controlled by players. The AI is available, alongside you; it may play the role of prompter, providing you with references and links that you may not have seen, but the AI does not have the solution, far from it, and you are the one playing, not it. The AI is by your side and will never have more pretension on YourArt.

The limitations in terms of AI are a bit complex; it's not just about the number of artworks, for example. There's the quantity of "tokens" (word pieces) exchanged between you and Iris in your conversational exchanges, the number of images analyzed or generated, their resolutions, and other factors at play. We work with our engineering teams to make all the necessary adjustments so that the usage is sufficient with Starter, ensuring you have at least a first real encounter with Iris, the AI assistant for creation.

Absolutely. We are aware that your research is an integral part of your work and defines your uniqueness. All your exchanges with Iris are strictly your property, and no one else can see them. You'll find this information on Iris's usage pages. That's our guarantee.

No.

Iris, the AI assistant for exploration, facilitates visitors' journeys on the platform. Through short, fun, educational, and cultural experiences, such as the artistic personality test we call Art Persona, Iris is capable of linking text to images and making images respond to each other. The AI assistant for creation is exclusively intended for artists on the platform.

This period lasts for one month. From the moment you terminate your subscription, your credit card will no longer be charged. Your subscription remains valid until the end of the current subscription month at the time of termination.

When you choose a paid subscription, the payment page will appear, and you'll need to pay with your credit card, and the charge will occur. The subscription will automatically renew every month. If you unsubscribe, your subscription will remain active until the end of the current subscription month but will not be renewed. If you choose Free, you won't need to enter your credit card, and you won't pay anything.

Yes.

To do this, go to the "Manage Your Subscription" section of your personal menu. You can choose Free to cancel your paid subscription. If you no longer want any account, even Free, choose to delete your account from the account section of your personal menu instead.

Not yet, but soon!

Yes. You'll be able to share your space, and any user with the link will be able to view it. However, you won't appear in our internal search engine. And your work won't be part of our catalog or available for sale on the platform.

That means you already have a Free account, and your space is ready to be created through your personal menu. If you want to have multiple artworks in your portfolio, have them integrated into the catalog, and sell them, you can choose Starter or Premium + AI and enjoy all the associated features mentioned.

A Free account is a way to be listed on YourArt and to share your space. However, the space is limited to a single artwork that is not part of the catalog and is not for sale on the platform. To have multiple artworks in your portfolio, ensure they integrate into the catalog and are available for sale, choose Starter or Premium + AI, and benefit from all the associated features indicated, including assistance in creation.

Absolutely.

For two major reasons: more artworks for sale, firstly, and unrestricted access to the AI assistant for creation to maximize your creativity. Check out the FAQ section on the AI assistant for creation. You'll step into a whole new world!

Yes, of course. The Free subscription is there to give you a taste of the platform.

Yes, through "Manage your subscription" in your personal menu. Switch freely between subscriptions. However, please note: if you switch from Starter or Premium + AI to Free, you will lose all the time spent importing your works. If you change your mind later and want to return to Starter or Premium, you will need to redo the imports.

Why not start with Free then? Build your personal space, include a piece of work, share your personal space. Gather feedback. You can upgrade to Starter or Premium + AI anytime you feel ready.

In that case, opt for an Art Lover subscription, Free. You can access it through the "Our Offers" tab on the main navigation bar of the site. Such a subscription will open the doors to our social network, nothing more.

Of course. Opt for Free in this case. Such a subscription will open the doors to our social network for you. You can create your personal space, but there's no obligation to do so! You can do it whenever you feel like it.

Yes. You will receive weekly emails with the number of views your artworks receive on the platform, which is valuable feedback on your visibility. We strive to ensure that each artist has visibility on the platform. A dashboard where you can find more detailed information will soon be available (we are working on it).

The order of appearance of artworks is determined by various factors listed below, allowing for continuous renewal and highlighting of the most relevant artworks for visitors: - Selections by YourArt's partner curators: experts in the art world regularly curate collections of artworks by professional or amateur artists, regardless of price. - New registrations. - Account activity (number of artworks, activation of the virtual gallery, etc.). - A personalized recommendation system based on artificial intelligence, which suggests artworks to each visitor based on their interactions on the site, without pigeonholing them, with a dose of contradiction.

To enhance your YourArt profile, we recommend enriching it with a complete biography, two photos, as many artworks as possible, and a description for each of your artworks. We also invite you to add presentation videos of your artistic practice and to create your own virtual gallery and imaginary museum (separate subscription). The more content you publish, the more chances you have to be featured. At YourArt, we value both professional and amateur artists equally. We highlight numerous artists and their creations every week through our homepage, newsletter, and social media channels.

10% on every artist sale (5% for an art gallery). If your sale is conducted privately outside the platform, which we allow via messaging, the commission won't apply, but neither the seller nor the buyer will benefit from YourArt guarantees: secure payment, 14-day refund policy, coverage in case of damage or loss during transport.

If a buyer contacts you through messaging and if your sale is completed outside of the platform through mutual agreement, which we allow via messaging, the commission won't apply, but neither the seller nor the buyer will benefit from YourArt guarantees: secure payment, 14-day refund policy, coverage in case of damage or loss during transport.

Yes. The transportation of the artwork is insured from shipment by the seller until delivery to the buyer for any artwork purchased on YourArt.

Shipping costs for a transaction on the platform are the responsibility of the buyer. They will be displayed during the checkout process before payment and will be added to the price of the artwork. Shipping costs depend on the chosen carrier, the addresses of the sender and recipient, as well as the dimensions and weight of the artwork.

During the import of an artwork, you have the option to choose the carriers that will be offered to the buyer during a purchase via the platform. Among the possible carriers is our partner Convelio, specialized in the transport of fragile artworks. You can either package the artwork yourself or request assistance. However, please note that choosing a custom carrier involves additional fees borne by the buyer, and a quote must first be established and communicated to them before the transaction takes place. We recommend reserving this option for artworks that are out of the ordinary or require very particular handling precautions.

We are a team of art and technology enthusiasts! Feel free to contact us if you would like to give us your feedback on the platform or report any difficulties you may encounter. We are here to listen and would be delighted to meet you!

For any questions, please send us an email at operations@yourart.art Let us know about your issue, and we'll look into it closely and get back to you as soon as possible!
