Artist invitations

MadeMay is a curated, invite-only marketplace. All artists are reviewed before their profiles go live.

Who is invited?

MadeMay is invite-only for skilled painters and sculptors working in any style or medium. Our team invites artists whose portfolios fit the current roster and category direction.

Invitation setup

Use the private invitation link from MadeMay to create your artist account. You will be asked to provide information about your craft, share portfolio images, and describe your process and experience.

What happens after you build your profile

Our curation team reviews every invited profile before it goes live. We evaluate the quality of your work, the strength of your portfolio, and your readiness to take on custom commissions. If approved, your profile is published on the platform.

Is there a cost?

Founding artists invited during launch join free and keep 90% of each commission. Standard artists pay a one-time $500 registration and keep 80%. Payments, messaging, and delivery coordination all happen on MadeMay — checkout is handled securely through Stripe and MadeMay's platform fee is deducted automatically.
