Sign up on our platform and create your personal space

To register on our platform, go to our website www.artinteractivies.com and click on the "Sign Up - Log In" link at the top right of your screen. On the screen that appears, select "Create an Account (Sign Up)" and choose the "Submit an Application" option under the "Artist / Sell Your Artworks" section. You will then begin the process of creating your Artist profile on ART INTERACTIVITIES and must fill in the various details required to validate your registration.

The first screen asks you to enter your main contact details and provide an email address and a password that will serve as your login credentials on our platform. The checkbox "I do not have a registered business" allows you to indicate that you are not registered with URSSAF as a legally declared business.
However, you may have registered with the Maison des Artistes (now merged with URSSAF). This registration lists you with URSSAF as a sole proprietorship, which qualifies you as a "Professional" artist. If this applies, check the box "I am registered with URSSAF" and complete the required fields marked with an asterisk. Once all information is entered and the checkboxes are selected, click the "Enter" button to proceed to the next step.

On the second screen, you need to fill in your contact details precisely and click "Enter" to access the final step of your registration.
If you declared being registered with URSSAF (as a business or sole proprietor), you will need to provide details about your professional status. Click the "Enter" button to move on to the final step of your registration.

In this final step, you will need to provide your address as well as information about your training background, artistic approach, sales habits and artwork production, and you will need to upload examples of artworks you have created. These pieces will not be listed for sale on our platform; they simply serve as a sample of your work to help us determine whether to approve your registration.

Once all the information on this step is completed, click the "Enter" button to finalize your registration. If all information is valid, you will receive an email indicating that your registration has been received and that we are reviewing your submission to confirm or deny your profile on our platform.

Once our selection jury completes the review, you will receive an email with our decision.

If the decision is negative, it does not reflect the quality of your work. It simply means that it does not align with the style and criteria we seek for the platform.

If the decision is positive, you will be able to log in to your Artist profile via the link in the email and complete your seller profile.

Log in to your personal space

When you registered, you received an email titled “Creation of your Personal Space” confirming the creation of your account on ART INTERACTIVITIES.

To follow the steps, please do the following:

1. Click on the “I log in” link in the email you received, or go directly to the Login Page of ART INTERACTIVITIES.

2. In the “Log in to my account (Already Registered)” section, enter your Username (your email) and the password you set during registration.

Note: Your Artist account is also a Client account! It allows you to make purchases on the ART INTERACTIVITIES website if you wish.

In this case, there are two scenarios:

1. If you have registered a company in your seller profile (i.e. you are a registered professional artist), purchases made with this profile will be the property of your company. If you wish to purchase artworks in your own name, you must register on our platform with a separate personal profile, not linked to your artist profile, where you will be considered solely as a buyer.

2. If you have not registered a company in your profile, your purchases will be your personal property.

If you are having trouble logging in or have any questions, feel free to contact ART INTERACTIVITIES customer support.

What visuals to upload ?

To increase your chances of selling your artworks, you should upload multiple photos for each piece you list online. Front view (entire artwork without frame), side view (to show thickness), close-up of certain parts, three-quarter view, back view, signature, and a very close-up of a corner of the artwork (excluding white frame) covering a square of at least 5 cm and up to 10 cm per side. Each photo should show the artwork from different angles, giving the buyer a complete and detailed view before making a purchase.

The visuals you submit must be in JPEG format (.JPG or .JPEG extension), PNG, or TIFF, and should ideally have a minimum resolution of 800 x 800 pixels at 72dpi to ensure optimal quality when displayed on our platform. In order to maintain the quality of the site, our team reserves the right to remove any image that does not meet these criteria.

We are here to help you maximize the visibility of your items and increase your chances of success on Art Interactivities.

  • Dimensions and weight
  • Detailed description (including information on details, restorations, or any damages)
  • Price of the artwork

You can refer to an example of an artwork presentation for inspiration. We believe that providing this complete information will help ensure the effective and transparent sale of your items. Feel free to contact us for more information or assistance if needed.

The withdrawal period (14 days)

The withdrawal period applied by ART INTERACTIVITIES corresponds to the legal period for consumer rights, in accordance with the Hamon Law. This period is significant, as art enthusiasts are not yet accustomed to purchasing artwork without having seen it physically. ART INTERACTIVITIES aims to promote the evolution of practices and overcome potential obstacles to online purchasing. Our goal is to reassure and retain our customers while creating an environment that benefits the artists as well.
