Why should I join the POTATOMIKE community?

As an ARTIST:
You have the opportunity to expose your artworks in our virtual gallery, getting international exposure reaching buyers from all over the world. Our constantly updated database ensures the maximum reach to potential buyers. You don’t have to worry about the transport of the work(s) as PotatoMike organizes everything, and we will help you all along the way to simplify the entire process.

There are no fees to be a part of PotatoMike and the work is nonexclusive. Meaning you can sell outside of the platform without owing commission. We ask that you let us know when the work has sold so we can mark it as such. 

All work is insured for the full asking price for both transport to the buyer and any returns that may take place.  We take care of shipping, the buyer takes care of import taxes and you take care of export (more information about export taxes can be found here). 

You keep 50% commission unless otherwise stated during promotions or commissioned-based projects. 

We promote your shows and events as much as possible! With a steadily increasing number of represented artists, we ask that you send us information about shows, events, holidays, ideas even your birthday! We would love to share that with our network!
