Transform your space, support independent artists
Introducing ArtBnb
Introducing ArtBnB – our mission is bring original art to guests and hosts of short-term rentals. We are a unique service that connects independent artists with hosts, offering an opportunity for artists to showcase and sell their artwork while providing hosts with a cost-effective way to decorate their spaces with beautiful, local art.
As an artist, we place your artwork in Airbnbs and short term rentals, where hundreds of guests will view your art learn about you as an artist. As a host, you have access to our catalogue of original art to use in your property, and receive a commission when a guest purchases the art. It’s free for both artists and hosts to get started!
For Hosts
Display original art and gain commission on purchases.
For Artists
Gain new audiences and sell your work with minimal effort.
For Guests
Take original art home with you, or let us ship it to you!
Sell Your Art
At ArtBnB, we believe that every artist deserves to be seen and appreciated. We help independent artists gain exposure and sell their artwork to a wider audience. Our platform provides artists with a convenient and affordable way to showcase their work, without the hassle of traditional galleries or social media platforms. We take care of the logistics, shipping, and marketing, so artists can focus on what you do best: creating.
We are passionate about supporting small artists and helping them make a living from their art. We also promote our artists on our social media channels and website.
Interior Design and Additional Income for Short-Term Rental Hosts
Each artwork arrives with a subtle tag that includes links to learn more about the art and artist, similar to a traditional art gallery. If your guest purchases the artwork, they have the choice to take it home with them, or we will pick up and ship the art for them. We handle insurance and liability for the artwork in case anything goes wrong and your hosting platform falls through. When the artwork is sold, we send you your commission and offer you a new selection of similar artwork to enhance your space.
Made by artists and hosts, for artists and hosts.
As artists and art collectors, we infused our first Airbnb with distinctive artwork from our personal collection. To our delight, guests raved about the art and interior design, and showered us with 5-star reviews for our spaces. But what surprised us was the unexpected demand from guests who wanted to take the artwork home with them! That’s when we realized the potential to offer a platform for local artists to showcase their work and sell it through our walls. And so, Artbnb was born!
We understand the challenges of both of our customers: artists and short-term rental hosts. Making a living as an artist is challenging: self-promotion, shipping and logistics, and managing payments can become a full-time job. As a host, we know that well-decorated and unique spaces attract guests, but budgets don’t often allow for high-end pieces: not to mention the time researching and sourcing that takes away from the core business.
