Why is artmuse.com a curated gallery? Well, life is short and we believe there is too much art on the Internet to filter through all by yourself. We also love art and want everyone to include art in their life. So, we are dedicated to finding unique, compelling, contemporary, and talented Artists from around the world for you. All of our Artists are committed to their artistic vision, philosophy, and craft. We look forward to you discovering your favorite Artists on artmuse.com and enjoying your own art collection of their work.
Why only $25 for Art? It is important to both artmuse.com and our Artists to provide real Art that is affordable for everyone. We are very excited to be able to offer such a high-quality Art print for you to Collect at such a low price!
How can I stay updated on the new Artists? Please subscribe to our weekly newsletter. We showcase Artists weekly and receiving our email newsletter is the simplest and quickest way to keep up with your new favorite Artists. This way you can get your limited edition prints before they are all gone. Plus, you can stay updated on collector events and news.
Can I pick up my print? While it would be a pleasure to meet you in person, artmuse.com does not have a physical location for you to visit. So, please enjoy the convenience of the door-to-door delivery service that you so deserve. Read shipping faqs here.
How are the prints shipped? At this time all prints are shipped via FedEx in a tube. You will receive an invoice detailing your print purchase with the print. If you have a special shipping request, please contact shipping@artmuse.com. For more details on shipping, please visit the shipping faqs.
Are the prints archival and high-quality? Since we would not have it any other way—the answer is a resounding “Yes”. We work closely with our vendors to produce high-resolution, museum-quality, archival digital reproductions individually printed on special large format printers and are virtually unparalleled in quality and range of color. Each print is printed on large format printers using a state-of-the-art 12 color pigment inkset, which provides the largest color gamut of any commercial ink ever developed. Additionally, this ink has a color permanence rating in excess of 100 years (when properly cared for, and displayed in acceptable lighting). All prints use a premium fine art grade substrate and are published on 100% acid-free archival 300gsm cotton rag paper, which has a radiant white tone and a slight watercolor texture. All prints are hand-trimmed to have either a 2" (unframed) or 3" (framed) border surrounding the image.
Will the print look exactly like what I see on the site? We strive to produce archival prints within top industry standards. Yet, due to technical variables beyond the control of artmuse.com, we cannot guarantee an identical representation of the artwork in print as seen on the Internet. Some factors such as display monitors, paper type, paper size, color, inks, lighting, with/out a border, framing, and other factors can change your perception of the image.
What is a Limited Edition? A Limited Edition is a limited printing of a certain artwork. Limited Edition images offered for sale on artmuse.com are available exclusively through us. The Artist and artmuse.com mutually agree to certain sizes and editions to print. Keep in mind when a Limited Edition is sold out, it is permanently closed.
What is a GCOA? A GCOA is a Green Certificate of Authenticity and serves as a way to authenticate the printed artwork. In an effort to be as “green” as possible, artmuse.com will send a GCOA to the Collector via email. It is the same as a traditional COA, but only digital. It includes the edition number, title, date, and signature of the Artist. A GCOA is offered for each Limited Edition print purchased via artmuse.com.
What if a print arrives flawed or damaged? Please inspect the print immediately upon receiving the delivery. It is your responsibility to contact shipping@artmuse.com within five days of receiving the print with any issue. If it is a limited edition, we cannot replace damaged prints after the run has sold out. We will do our best to resolve any issues.
How do Artists benefit from the sales? We love our Artists and want to help them create more art for you to enjoy. As such, we believe in a thriving Artist and we happily offer them a generous percentage of the sale of their prints, less our production costs. If an Artist sells the original art via artmuse.com, they receive a 80% commission of the sale.
Who owns the copyrights to the artwork? The Artist retains all rights to their artwork. U.S. copyright law states that copyrights do not transfer to the buyer of either the original artwork or prints of the artwork.
Do you offer matting or framing? Yes! We offer custom framing to our collectors at an affordable price. Each archival print is available for purchase with either an Ebony or Espresso solid 1.25" wood designer frame. Each framed archival print has a 3" white-on-white premium matting (non-archival), uses plexiglass, and includes mounting hardware. Frame Styles Frame Size Chart
How long does it take to receive my new Art print? We print and frame as orders arrive. As such, we do not have inventory to pull from. Our prints and frames are custom-sized, hand-trimmed, and carefully inspected before shipping. Give us at least 14 business days to get your new Art to you in person. Please allow additional time for International deliveries and during holidays.
Can I buy a bunch of prints or as a wholesaler? Our intention is to provide our regular art lovers the opportunity to start and continue their art collection at an affordable price. We want as many people as possible to have art in their life. So, we ask that only 5 smaller prints and 1 larger print per address please. Note: this may change at the Artist's request. Please contact collector@artmuse.com with further questions or regarding special project needs.
Can I return my purchase if I don’t like it? Please consider your purchase carefully, as all sales are final.
Can I purchase a Gift Certificate? Yes. You can purchase here.
I have more questions and comments, who do I contact? Please contact collector@artmuse.com with other questions or comments. We will respond as soon as possible.
