Sell your work where the crowd already is.

A private storefront studio with big windows right on the Chelsea Art Alley. Like an art-fair booth, but indoors, inside a live gallery, and you keep 100% of every sale.

Your own storefront right on the Chelsea Art Alley.

Keep 100% of everything you sell. No commission, ever.

Cheaper than a tent

A juried art-fair booth runs $400 to $700 for four days in a tent, plus setup, travel, and weather. A festival weekend here is $295: indoors, with real walls and a window onto a gallery thousands walk past. And you keep all of it.

For scale, the Ann Arbor Art Fair charges $700 to $1,500 for three outdoor days.

The Chelsea Art Alley is live: a free, 24/7 outdoor gallery whose first community contest drew more than 2,000 votes, with thousands of visitors walking the block each week during the summer Sounds & Sights festival. Your window opens right onto it.
