The Fair Trade Art Certification ensures that a piece of art has been approved by both the artist and verified partners. When you see the Fair Trade Art logo alongside the artist’s signature, it signals that the artwork meets standards of fairness and transparency in the art trade.
Supporting the Community
This certification also highlights contributions to charitable causes from sale proceeds. A portion of the revenue can be allocated to fund charities or be used in charity auctions, aiming to give back to society and support the community in meaningful ways.
Ensuring Artist Benefits
We believe that artists should benefit from their creations. With Fair Trade Art, buyers are informed if the artist receives at least 50% of the sale proceeds, ensuring they are recognized and rewarded for their creative efforts.
Royalties and Terms
Fair Trade Art provides clear information about the ongoing rights associated with the artwork, including artist royalties, charitable donations, and restrictions on resale. This ensures that the core values of the piece are maintained and respected over time.
The Fair Trade Art logo
The logo is a minimalist, black-and-white design featuring two interlinked, equal-length rectangles forming a balanced and symmetrical shape. Each rectangle represents a core component of the Fair Trade Art ecosystem: the artist, the gallery, the platform, and the cause. The intersecting lines resemble an equal sign (=), symbolizing fairness, equality, and the ethical exchange principles at the heart of Fair Trade Art. The design is clean and modern, with no additional elements or embellishments, focusing on simplicity and the universal concept of equity in art transactions.
