Artist Application Guidelines

To maintain the quality and integrity of the WeJoy Living community, all artist applications are carefully reviewed by our curatorial team.

Application Review

• Artists are selected through a juried review process based on their application, portfolio, website, and/or publicly available social media showcasing their artwork.

• Submitted artwork should be presented with clear, high-quality images that accurately represent the artist's work.

• Selection is based on originality, artistic quality, craftsmanship, storytelling, and alignment with WeJoy Living's mission of sharing the Art of Love & Joy.

• As this is a curated marketplace, acceptance is competitive and not all applicants will be selected.

• To help us better understand an artist's craftsmanship and creative process, some applicants may be invited to submit a small artwork sample for review by the WeJoy Living team. 

Application Fee

• A non-refundable application fee of $25 USD is required to cover the review process.

• There are no upfront listing fees for accepted artists.

• WeJoy Living earns a commission only when artwork is sold through our marketplace.

Notification

• All applicants will be notified of the review results by email.

• Accepted artists will receive onboarding instructions and an Artist Agreement before joining the WeJoy Living community.

Onboarding instructions

Artist Profile & Portfolio

• Accepted artists are asked to submit professional images, artist biography, artwork information, and written content for their personalized Artist Profile within 30 days of acceptance.

• WeJoy Living may edit written content for clarity, consistency, and brand style while preserving the artist's voice and story.

Copyright & Image Usage

• Artists affirm that all submitted artwork is their original creation and that they own all necessary copyrights or rights to display and sell the work.

• Artists retain full ownership and copyright of their artwork at all times.

• By participating in WeJoy Living, artists grant WeJoy Living a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display submitted images and artist information on our website and to use them for promotional purposes, including social media, email newsletters, exhibitions, press materials, and other marketing related to WeJoy Living.

• This permission may be revoked upon an artist's departure from the marketplace, except for materials previously published or used to document past exhibitions, collections, or promotional campaigns.

Photo listing standards

• Each artwork must have three different photos: hero image (this will show on the featured artist page), detail shot, environmental/lifestyle photo. 

• All three photos will be deployed on your featured artist page. Hero images that meet our guidelines are eligible to be featured in WJL home page, lifestyle photos may be shown in marketing and social media postings. 

• Technical Requirements:

Photos need to be 2000x2000 pixels exactly. 

Photos resolution must be 300 ppl, highest resolution possible. 

• Setting up your photo

Shoot against a clean, simple background. Backgrounds should be white or a neutral color, with minimal texture. Shoot on a seamless backdrop or flat surface, taking care that the backdrop is clean and well-lit. 

• Styling your photo

In a lifestyle shot, creating an environment with a few props can help customers get a better sense of the product’s scale and size. Props should feel relevant and allow the product to shine. Keep styling minimal by incorporating just a few props like blocks, green, relevant furniture. The hero image should show just your product with no props or people.
