ArtStation Does More Than You Think

Ever since ArtStation was launched in 2014, our goal has always been to empower artists so they can be independent and successful. When we first went live, the website was primarily a showcase platform for artists to connect with opportunities and be inspired.

Now, although showcasing outstanding artwork is still at forefront of what we’re about,  there’s so much more you can do on ArtStation besides post your artwork and find jobs. At ArtStation, our mission is to provide artists with all the tools they need for their professional career, no matter which point in their career they’re at.  Over the past four years, our feature releases and improvements have all focused on expanding the platform to help artists monetize their work, learn and improve their skills, engage more closely with their audience and more.

With all our new features, we decided to update our About pages to fill you in on everything we do at ArtStation.

About ArtStation

In case you’re not up to speed, here’s a couple highlights you might have missed:

Sell on the ArtStation Marketplace

Though still in Alpha, our Marketplace is thriving and already has nearly 5000 products and over 1000 sellers.

How is it different from other marketplaces? 

When you sell on ArtStation, you’re selling directly to the relevant community. Because of the high amount of traffic ArtStation gets on a daily basis, products get a lot of visibility on the Marketplace Homepage.
