ArtRabbit — open calls and commission-free sales
ArtRabbit open calls and zero commission — that’s the shortest way to describe the split between the platform’s free and paid sides.
Browsing contests, grants, residencies and other open calls is free, no subscription needed.
The paid plan, though — from €10 a month — unlocks selling your own work with zero commission to the platform.
You keep 100% of the revenue, because the deal goes not through ArtRabbit, but directly.
What’s free
The open calls catalogue is open to everyone, no subscription needed.
It covers competitions, prizes, exhibition opportunities, awards and grants for artists, writers and curators.
Creating your own artist page is free too.
But only if it’s linked to an exhibition you’ve already had.
That free page already lets you list an unlimited number of exhibitions and events.
You can also link your social media and website.
ArtRabbit open calls and zero commission — how the paid plan works
The Monthly plan costs €10 a month at the introductory price.
It removes the requirement for a past exhibition — you can start a profile from scratch.
It also unlocks selling your own work, an enquiry button for buyers, and a spot in the artist directory.
ArtRabbit takes no commission on sales at all.
The deal happens directly — through the artist’s own shop or by direct message.
The Annual plan costs €99 at the introductory price.
That’s two months cheaper than paying monthly.
Not just a catalogue, but a map too
ArtRabbit also has a separate app with a map of exhibitions open right now.
It shows what’s happening nearby and builds a route across several venues at once.
It can also track “open now” status.
That format works just as well for an art crawl around a city as for hunting one specific open call.
Geography and disciplines
ArtRabbit’s editorial team is present in six cities at once — London, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
At the same time, the open calls catalogue takes not just visual artists, but writers and curators too.
The application formats vary — from exhibition competitions to grants, prizes and curatorial proposals.
That also means the same catalogue suits very different professional needs.
Who it suits especially
Good fit if: you want to browse and apply to open calls for free, with no subscription required.
It especially helps if you also want to sell your work directly and keep the whole cut.
May not suit you if: you need an artist page without a past exhibition behind you — no subscription removes that condition.
It also won’t suit you if you’re after a built-in marketplace with on-site checkout — here, the deal always happens directly, off the platform.
