WHAT IS ART WOW®?

ART WOW® is a unique online store supporting artists and designers by selling their beautiful designs on a variety of gifts, homeware and art. We both retail to the public and wholesale to stores!

ART WOW® is run by sisters, Liz and Laura. All products are custom hand printed to order in our UK studio by our all-female team. 

WHAT DOES THE ARTIST HAVE TO DO?

The artist simply uploads and posts their artwork onto a variety of products provided, and we do the rest! Each artist has their own shopfront to promote, as well as being a part of the whole site, and gains a cut of each item they sell. They design and create. We produce, package and post!

This is a start-up business opportunity without any of the usual costs, and with everything to gain. We are all about developing artistic talent. We have a ‘strength in numbers’ mentality - just by association, people can discover lots of other original talent at the click of a button, spreading the creative love!

WHAT IF I AM NOT AN ARTIST?
We also provide an instant product personalisation service. Here you can create your own personalised products for instant purchase. Please navigate to the 'Upload and Buy' page on our homepage. If would like to buy custom products in bulk, please email [email protected] who will get back to you will prices. 

WHERE IS EVERYTHING MADE?
Every product is made here in the UK and only printed after it is ordered so it is 100% custom-made for each and every customer. Quality is vital to the team at ART WOW® and we only work with the best technology experts around. We are constantly updating our product ranges and always developing the site to benefit our customers.
