Does Cohart only list original artworks? Or can I sell prints and or other merchandise with my artwork on it?

As a visual art platform, we support the listing of original works of art, as well as limited and open edition prints (photography, screen printing, digital prints, etc). At this time we aren’t able to support additional types of merchandise with art printed on it (such as apparel, homewares, etc).

Why list on Cohart vs other platforms?

We’re founded, led, and run by artists and art lovers, for artists and art lovers. We built Cohart because we want to see artists not just sustain, but scale their careers.
