About
Our story
SOTA Marketplace is a purpose-led affordable online gallery and art consultancy created by entrepreneur and curator, Emma Lang, to bring much needed change to the art industry. SOTA’s purpose is to democratise the arts by providing a fair and trustworthy platform for artists to sell their work.
Whilst online art galleries and art marketplaces of course exist, they charge sky high commission rates and listing fees, disempowering artists. This is where we come in. SOTA's online gallery is a marketplace where customers can buy directly from artists with the guarentee that artists are financially empowered. SOTA only takes an 8% commission from artists, the lowest commission on the market without being a charity.
How It Works
SOTA provides artists of all demographics and experiences a chance to sell their work and only charges an 8% commission upon the purchase of a piece. This low commission structure allows artists to sell their work at more reasonable price points compared to traditional art galleries, maximising their reach to potential customers. Customers can purchase the high-quality works of talented artists with the assurance that they are financially empowering them and changing lives. Artists must have an active website and Instagram to join.
Artist Promotion
SOTA actively looks for opportunities to accelerate the careers of its artists whether this be through sales, partnerships, exhibitions, auctions or gallery collaborations via our Art Consultancy arm.
