Cohart, the female-founded platform revolutionizing the $65 billion art market, has unveiled a groundbreaking mobile storefront tool. This innovation transforms how visual artists connect with their community, monetize their audience, and manage their business—offering centralized services and enhanced profitability compared to traditional dealers and static platforms.

In an industry where galleries represent less than 14% of artists and take 50-70% commissions, Cohart's solution addresses a critical gap. While online marketplaces offer lower fees, they lack community features for building authentic connections with collectors. Consequently, many artists have relied on Instagram for business growth, despite its limitations in supporting high-value sales and focused networking.

The Cohart Mobile Storefront is the first tool of its kind, enabling visual artists to grow their businesses, brands, and communities through social media. It expands the $250B Creator Economy into the historically opaque art vertical, offering artists a chance to monetize their creativity while maintaining their brand identity—without steep commissions.

The storefront allows artists to feature and sell their artwork with a simple link that plugs into their link-in-bio, removing the need to build a personal website. The storefront can also be used at in-person studio visits, art fairs, or anywhere artists grow their business and community. Cohart manages all their logistics, insurance, and authentication, building buyer confidence for high-value sales (the average sale for Cohart artists is $5,000). There are also built-in “make an offer” tools and flexible payment plans for buyers. 


In addition, the storefront streamlines how visual artists can build their community, and help their fans become high-intent collectors. With an easy subscribe button, their audience receives real-time notifications that replace long email newsletters for first access. When buyers do collect, they can showcase their art purchases in their mobile wallets, which helps artists build their referral network.

In a market where 50%+ commissions are becoming standard (i.e. Singulart recently announced they are taking 50% on sales and subscription fees), Cohart revolutionizes how artists do business, taking a flat 5% transaction fee to offer a cost-effective alternative where they can process all of their sales. This approach enables artists to retain more of their earnings while effortlessly managing and growing their community. 

Kendall Warson, CEO of Cohart, shares, "This feature is a game-changer for artists and our industry. We're the first to capitalize on the importance of social media and community-building in the online art market today. This feature will enable artists to foster real connections with collectors without disintermediation. By putting artists first, we believe we can grow the market and empower the most crucial player in the ecosystem."

Artists ready to elevate their business and connect with their audience can sign up for Cohart today and add their Mobile Storefront into their Link in Bio to start building and growing their brand.
