a New hoMe for your aRt FroM tHe ArtIsT aLley

Buy, sell, and resell Artist Alley art in one place. Artists sell original work, and when a collector resells a piece the original artist still earns a cut. We only connect people, never touch the art, and take a small commission, only when something sells.

We support the arts, never take them over.

AlleyPieces is a connector, not a middleman that hoards your work. Here's the whole idea.

Artists sell original work

Set your price, choose where you ship, run your own shop. Your work, your rules.

Collectors buy & resell

Found a piece you love, or ready to pass one on? Resell it and tag the original artist, who earns a cut of every resale.

Fair, transparent commission

We only earn when something sells: 5% + €0.75 per sale, whether it's an original or a resale.

Your feed, full of art you actually chose.

A peek at how the feed will look: pieces from the artists and tags you follow.

Built to protect your work.

Artist Alley is where great art lives. We're bringing that energy online, with the protections artists have been asking for.

  • You decide where you ship, with no forced regions.
  • Real watermarking: we alter the pixels, not just slap an overlay on top.
  • We fight AI scraping hard, so your work isn't quietly fed to a model.
  • Only verified artists can list as artists, so you're not buried under dropshippers and bots.
  • You keep full rights to your work, always. We only connect the sale, we never own it.

Questions & answers

The things people ask us most. Got another? Just reach out.

Honestly? We're collectors ourselves. We'd run out of space for pieces we'd picked up over the years and wanted to give them a good new home, but everywhere we tried to sell felt either shady or just not secure. So we decided to build the place we wished existed.

We're still gathering the first artists and collectors. Once enough people are on board we start building, and everyone on the waitlist hears first.

Joining and listing are free. We only earn our commission (5% + €0.75) when a piece actually sells. No listing fees, no subscriptions.

When a piece is resold, the original artist earns a 10% royalty on the sale, automatically, on top of our standard commission. Their work keeps paying them every time it changes hands.

We still want them to benefit. Our intention is to reserve their share so they can claim it if they join later. We're finalising exactly how this works (there are legal details around holding funds for someone), and we'll be fully transparent about it before launch.

To claim an artist account, you'll need to show proof that you actually made the work, and we're building a community flagging system on top of that. It means artist sign-up won't be instant (joining as a collector still is). We'd rather you wait a couple of days than let this turn into a dropshipping free-for-all.

We take it seriously. Sellers confirm they have the right to sell what they list, and we operate a clear notice-and-takedown process: anyone can report a piece, we review it, and we remove confirmed infringing work, with a fair appeal step for sellers and a strict policy for repeat infringers.

It's core to why we exist. We build the platform to resist AI crawlers, and we watermark images by genuinely altering the pixels, not just laying an overlay on top that's easy to strip off.

Yes. We're EU-based and privacy-first: no third-party trackers, and our fonts are served from our own servers. Right now we only store your email and whether you're joining as an artist or a collector.

A community project

We're building this with you.

AlleyPieces is a community project, shaped by the artists and collectors who use it. Got a feature you wish existed, a fairer way to do something, or just an idea? We genuinely want to hear it.
