After Black Friday - Artists' Sunday

Thanks for the link! I signed up.

Reading the site it looks as if they want artists who sell originals not prints although they do list photography so I guess that would have to be prints. Thanks for posting the link. I may sign up.

You're welcome, Grace! I signed up, too!

MM Anderson, I wondered that, too, but I don't have originals and they let me in. They also include performing artists.

Thanks Jodi, I signed up too! Applications need to be approved though, hopefully they'll take me.

I'm sure they will, Tina. Keep us posted!

By original, they just mean that you are the creating artist, rather than a gallery or print shop, etc.

Exactly, Christi!

Exactly, Christi!

Oh wow, thank you so much! I just signed up too... God bless!

Thanks, I hadn't heard of this before! Great idea. I signed up as well!

Good luck with it, Rose and Gaby!

Thank you for this Jodi. I signed up also. :)

Thank you Jodi! I did sign up.

Thanks Jodi for educating us on this and providing the link!

Good luck with sales to all of us this coming holiday season.

Leslie, Val, and Kathy, good luck to you with this! Good luck to all of us!

this part bothers me:

so i'm not sure if i should sign up. for a simple listing there are a lot of fine print details i have to look at. seems weird.

Mike, I wondered to but signed up anyway.

i did too, i just won't send them any content of any kind. and hopefully they won't take images of mine.

The terms are pretty safe. They are only claiming the right to use whatever we post or share that specifically involves, or that we have shared with, them in connection with their program.

Well, they got back with me but the only suggestion was to update my browser but my browser is updated. The only other option is to try it using my phone, but to me that's pure torture. lol

DK do you have more than one browser on your computer? You could try an alternative one. I signed up with Firefox and it went through.

I tried it on both Edge and Chrome, same result, both are updated. Anymore browsers auto update anyway, it's unlikely for anybody to have outdated browser running on their computer.

Well, I just used my phone to sign up, that appears to have worked.

Nervous Nellie here. I'm just wondering how they are monetized.

On another note, I do see that the main person behind this has his photography gallery on another POD.

Bill, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. I didn't know the answer to your concern, and have been able to find out only a little. They say, on their website, they are supported entirely by sponsors, but I'm having trouble finding out who these sponsors are.
EDIT: I just googled the question and found the list of sponsors. https://artistssunday.com/sponsors-test/

If you scroll down the page to the bottom it lists sponsors and other stuff of interest. I searched myself and it took me to my website.but I do not see a way to search for anything other than by artist name. Makes it more than a long shot.

Val Arie, you can type whatever term you want to search by in the search box. I tried it with artist name, art type, city, and state.

These are the 3 emails they sent me since they approved me:
