- Artists create amazing artworks in the hope they will sell one day. This unpaid struggle goes on for years with self doubt and poverty but got much worse when the pandemic hit the art world hard.
- Talented artists fall through gaps of the art system. Artbox art club members empower independent artists with paid art commissions. Artbox is a viable way for independent artists to create their artwork without financial risk. It fills a gap in the art system.

Upcoming commission by Artist Zoe Bastin
Commission Top Artists
Next month's artist Zoe Bastin is fascinated by the porousness of the body and how culture inscribes ideas of gender and sexuality onto our physical form.
Her soon to be released artwork is only available to Artbox Art Club members.
We give artists a guaranteed budget, and take the financial risk out of making art. We commission the artwork before our artists start any work, supporting them with guaranteed sales, promotion and a community of Art Angels.

Subscribers of Artbox, we call them Art Angels, receive their surprise package once a month. Art Angel subscriptions create the budget of the following month’s artwork and make them fundamental supporters of the artist.
For removing the financial risk to the artist, Artbox can offer subscriptions for below wholesale market prices. The same artwork (if there are any left), sell at art fairs for five times and ten times the price. It’s also a great way to collect art that appreciates in financial value.

We are so confident of the quality of the work, that Artbox offer a 30-day money back guarantee to any new subscriber. And these are just a few of the perks Art Angels receive.
