How it works
A calmer way to discover, follow, and collect.
Mostra is built for artists who would rather make work than chase algorithms, and for collectors who would rather speak to the studio than the marketplace. Here is how the whole thing works.
For artists
Your studio, your terms.
One flat membership unlocks everything. Zero commission on every sale, forever.
- 01
Open your studio
Create your account, choose a Mostra Membership, and set up your artist profile. Bio, photographs, statement, and a verified badge. Your studio goes live the moment your membership is active.
- 02
Upload your work
Add original works with images, dimensions, medium, edition details, and price. We help you price with confidence and write descriptions that read like a gallery wall label, not a product listing.
- 03
Get seen
Mostra surfaces your work across discovery feeds, editorial features, open calls, and the audience already built by The Holy Art Gallery. Followers get notified when you post.
- 04
Sell direct, keep 100 percent
Buyers pay you directly through Stripe. Mostra takes zero commission, ever. You set the price, you own the relationship, you keep every penny of every sale.
- 05
Ship and stay in touch
Print a shipping label, mark the work as sent, and the buyer gets a verified certificate of authenticity. Your buyer now lives in your address book, not the platform's.
Backed by a real gallery
You are in good hands.
Mostra is built by The Holy Art Gallery, which has spent six years exhibiting artists across nine cities and building one of the art world's most engaged communities, 240,000 followers on Instagram and over 180,000 on the mailing list. The audience already exists. Mostra puts your work in front of it.
For buyers
Buy direct. Know the artist.
Free to browse, no account needed. You only ever pay the artist for the work itself.
- 01
Browse freely. No sign up needed.
Explore thousands of original works from verified artists across every medium and in cities around the world.
- 02
Find something you love.
Filter by medium, location, price, and style. Use Ask Mostra to search by mood. Every price is shown openly, never hidden.
- 03
Enquire or buy directly.
Click Enquire, Make an offer, or Buy now on any artwork. Enter your name and email. No account needed. Your enquiry goes straight to the artist and they will be in touch directly.
- 04
Connect with the artist.
After an enquiry the artist contacts you directly at the email you provided. After a purchase, the artist contacts you to arrange shipping. You receive a certificate of authenticity for every work you buy.
Ready when you are.
Open a studio, or start collecting. Both take a few minutes.
