Hello! We are artBork & we are here for the artists​, the introverted creatives, & fell ow analog loyalists.

 

Founded on two simple principles, art looks better on walls & most works never make it there, artBork exists to bridge the gap.

The commercial and fine art world is one that favors artists who are good at networking, self-promotion, applying, attending openings, maintaining social media, and putting themselves out there. Artists who are good at making content. That leaves a lot of artists behind. Many who are pretty damn good.​ ArtBork helps artists get their work into businesses, shops, rentals, and other spaces. You don't have to pretend to love galleries, networking, openings, or self-promotion to work with us. We are a collective without a need for socialization, only one rule to follow, make art.

Sign up for our newsletter for artBork Pop-up locations, local artist profiles & works, and new items in the (art)BorkShop & (art)DorkShop. No AI crap. No automated emails. We won't add to the noise.

Thanks for your support!

Ian is a Hoosier-born corporate sellout trying to atone for 15 years of selling marketing software.  They have been a grouchy Portland-based painter since 2006. They can't Instagram, and are of above average height. Shay is an Oregonian who is good with a pencil.  She has experience helping non-profits keep their design sharp, and understands the terrible world of digital marketing. She hates being tagged, and hopes to use her skills for good. artBork was born from their shared core beliefs, disillusionments, and anxieties when it comes to how art is consumed. ​They are married. And adorable.

​ArtBork was founded in 2025 by Ian and Shay, two analog loyalists that like to make things.
