Three ways to
be part of the story.
You don’t have to do it all.
Find the part that feels like you.
List your artwork.
Bring your physical artwork to OurGlass. Submit it for review, and we’ll prepare a listing that collectors can discover.
Start an artwork submissionPromote the artwork.
Curator Campaign Auction
Bid for an advertising campaign that pairs the artwork with your brand.
Your winning curator bid funds a promotional package featuring the artwork and your brand.
Win a curator package, share it with your audience, and potentially earn a commission.
The package grants no artwork ownership or investment rights.
Bid to own the artwork.
Ownership Auction
Find a work you connect with and bid to make it part of your collection. You’re bidding to buy the physical artwork.
The buyer pays for shipping. If the artist offers it, free local pickup may be available.
Find art to collectThe key difference
Two auctions.
Two different purchases.
Curators buy
An advertising package.
Your brand, featured with the artwork. Promotional value, whether or not the artwork sells.
Curator Campaign AuctionCollectors buy
The physical artwork.
A work to own and enjoy in your collection. Ownership of the physical work is separate from copyright.
Ownership AuctionA possible next chapter
The story can keep going.
A collector may later seek to resell through OurGlass. A 3.14% Artist Resale Royalty supports the original artist on qualifying OurGlass secondary sales only. It does not apply to primary sales.
A future resale or increase in value is never guaranteed.

The details are here when you need them.
What happens after a win?
A completed purchase involves cleared payment, fulfillment, receipt confirmation, and Final Release. Payment confirmation and Final Release are separate steps. Payout holds and reviews can apply.
What does the campaign fee pay for?
The winning bid sets the Curator Campaign Fee. The package provides promotional value regardless of whether the artwork later sells.
This internal split does not increase the winning bid. The delivery budget supports approved campaign execution and promotion; it does not promise that every dollar goes directly to a third-party ad platform. A separate Platform Transaction Fee may apply.
Affiliate Curators receive no artwork ownership, fractional interests, equity, debt, securities, royalties, resale or appreciation rights, revenue sharing, profit participation, passive income rights, interest, yield, investment returns, or guaranteed payouts.
Can an Affiliate Curator earn a commission?
An eligible Affiliate Curator may receive a conditional, non-guaranteed, discretionary, Admin-approved performance-based commission of up to 22.22% of the final qualifying artwork sale price. This is marketing compensation for approved promotional services and campaign performance.
Eligibility depends on attribution, campaign participation, sale completion, cleared buyer payment, fraud and chargeback review, payout holds, and disclosure/compliance review. Tracking data alone creates no entitlement.
Admin may approve a partial commission, reduce it, deny it, reverse it, hold it, or set it to 0%. Winning a campaign or generating a sale does not automatically earn a commission.
What fees and steps apply to an artwork sale?
OurGlass earns an 11.11% marketplace commission on qualifying Ownership Auction sales and qualifying secondary sales. Seller proceeds, any qualifying Artist Resale Royalty, and any approved Affiliate Curator commission are separate components.
A separate Platform Transaction Fee may apply in addition to the campaign fee or artwork purchase price. It includes a fixed $2.50 transaction-handling component and potentially an applicable amount-dependent component. It is not a dollar-for-dollar reimbursement of processor costs.
Taxes, shipping, fulfillment, and other transaction-specific charges may apply separately. Review the listing and transaction disclosures before bidding. Cleared payment, fulfillment, receipt confirmation, and Final Release are distinct steps; payout holds and reviews can apply. Buying the physical work does not transfer its copyright.
Which resales qualify for the artist royalty?
The 3.14% Artist Resale Royalty applies only to qualifying OurGlass resales after the same artwork has completed an eligible previous OurGlass sale and entered verified Catalog history. A prior sale outside OurGlass does not qualify its first OurGlass sale for this royalty.
The royalty is separate from the 3.14% Campaign Services Allocation. Resale classification alone does not establish royalty eligibility; review is required. The 11.11% marketplace commission and other applicable transaction rules remain separate.
