Redbubble, Minted, and Etsy

Squarespace, Art Storefronts, and Shopify
but…
Artists who work in partnership with paying patrons will have the greatest impact on the world
Artist gallery and portfolio websites get no traffic.
Social media has taken over viewership time on the internet. So if views are what you are looking for, just build an Instagram profile and skip the website.
The fine-art market only deals in “investment grade” art
And prefer artwork they can sell on the secondary market. This means Living Artists hardly ever get paid.
Many Artists work alone on artwork that the market may not want to buy.
Meanwhile restaurants, individuals, government agencies, corporations, and other willing patrons
Can’t find Artists
willing and prepared to take on a significant for-hire project.
