Art Scene vs. Artsy: A side-by-side comparison

There’s no question that Artsy is a towering force in the online art world. As the largest digital art marketplace, it has over a million users and is often the starting point for artists and collectors who want to connect online. But like any online platform, Artsy has its pros and cons. And depending on the kind of experience and features a user is looking for, Artsy may or may not be their best option. Let’s take a deep dive into the Artsy platform and explore how it compares to Art Scene in terms of access, pricing, features, and overall experience.

The world of art collection has traditionally been reserved for an elite and affluent group of people, and Artsy caters to this exclusive demographic. It’s only available to a select group of artists who are already represented by a gallery, making it a platform geared mainly toward established, recognized artists. These artists also can’t showcase their work on Artsy directly — they have to request that their gallery join the platform on their behalf.

 

Budget Collector takes a different approach. The platform is about making art accessible to a wider range of people, so established and fledgling artists alike are welcome to upload their art and connect directly with potential buyers. This is part of its mission to break down the barriers that prevent newer artists from gaining a foothold and discourage high-profile artists from exploring new approaches.

One of the best things about online platforms is that they let artists hit the ground running, with much faster application and processing times than brick-and-mortar galleries. Artists who want to display their work on Artsy can fill out and submit an application in less than 10 minutes and receive a response from the platform in about 72 hours. Compare that to traditional exhibition applications, which can take days, weeks, or even months.

Art Scene is also committed to making it fast and simple to get up and running on the platform. Their application and processing times are on par with Artsy, requiring artists to spend just a few minutes filling out an online form and sending a response within 72 hours.

Artsy also follows a typical profit-based model in terms of its pricing. Artists can get set up for free, but after that they pay a monthly fee of $425 for the privilege of being represented on the platform. What’s more, Artsy collects a 10% commission on each sale made through the platform.

In comparison, Art Scene charges zero fees to its artists. That’s zero set-up fees, zero monthly fees, and zero commission fees. Instead, the platform uses a progressive “freemium” model to generate revenue. Most of the features are 100% free to use, including a free AI-based art advisor for collectors on the hunt for their next great find. Premium features can be accessed for a small additional charge, on par with a monthly Spotify or DuoLingo subscription.

Artsy is great for collectors who love nothing more than poring through tons of talented artists who, as we mentioned, have already gained the nod of approval from galleries who are traditionally the gatekeepers for the art world. Artists on the platform can take pride in being represented alongside an army of their peers, and collectors have the ability to look through a large and ever-evolving roster of artists.

Art Scene is also structured to offer collectors a wealth of choice. They also offer some handy features that make it easier to navigate the world of options at their fingertips. The platform’s calling card is its free AI-powered art advisor, which acts like the user’s own personal curator. This saves them from picking through thousands of profiles and delivers the kind of art they resonate with right into their hands. For an even more tailored experience, users have the option of requesting a curated, private exhibition experience at a local gallery to experience the art up close and in person. For artists, the platform offers valuable, ethically sourced data insights on collectors, including budgets, so they can make informed choices about how to display, price, and position their works to the buying public.

Q&A: How Art Scene works

Q: I want to join Art Scene. What happens next?

A: After you sign and submit the contract, you’re ready to get started! We’ll post your work on Art Scene and let interested collectors know where they can find it (whether it’s at a studio, gallery, or through your website). No obligations, no jumping through hoops.

Q: How many art works do I have to submit?

A: It’s up to you. One or 100 — you decide.

Q: What information do you need about the art works?

A: The contract spells out the specifics, but in general, Art Scene needs pricing and labeling information for each work you’d like to display.

Q: Can I just transfer my existing Artsy profile over to Art Scene?

A: This feature isn’t available at the moment, but it’s in the works.

Q: Am I permitted to display my work on both Artsy and Art Scene at the same time?

A: Absolutely.

Q: How are boxing and shipping costs handled?

A: However you normally handle them. Art Scene directs buyers to your website or studio to make the purchase. We don’t sell your art — we only promote it.

Q: How does Art Scene make money if it doesn’t collect fees or commissions?

A: We use a “freemium” model that’s similar to Spotify or DuoLingo. Anyone can use the app’s AI-based art advisor for free. Additional insights and features are available for a small subscription fee.

Q: How do you gather information about collectors?

A: We ask for it! They voluntarily provide their budgets and rate the art they view, which generates data about their preferences. Those data insights are then made available to artists.

Q: Is Art Scene a global art app or is it geared for a specific area?

A: Our app is available globally and our users are now all over the world.

So which is better: Artsy or Art Scene?

Both platforms are great places for artists, institutions, and collectors who want to buy and sell art. As to which is objectively “better,” it all depends on the specific user. Artists looking to join a massive platform, with the blessing of the gallery who represents them, will find that Artsy has a lot to offer them. Artists in search of a tailored, off-the-beaten path experience that offers freedom, flexibility, and zero fees may just feel right at home with Art Scene.

“The app inspired an artistic part of me that’s always been there but hasn’t been tapped into for quite some time.”
