How does ARTPIQ work?

ARTPIQ is an online platform that connects collectors with original works by emerging artists. You can explore our curated catalogue, choose pieces to rent or buy, and manage your collection through one account. We handle authentication, payment and logistics so you can focus on discovering art you love.

What do the different membership tiers include?

Our Basic (free) membership keeps you updated with members‑only newsletters and insider news. Plus members gain full access to exclusive artworks and early insights into new artists and showrooms. Pro members enjoy everything in Plus, plus invitations to behind‑the‑scenes experiences, personalised art advice, VIP dinners and special gifts.

Can I buy a piece after renting it?

Yes. If you decide to keep a work you’re renting, we’ll credit a portion of your rental fees toward the purchase price. You can start collecting without the pressure of committing up front.

How does ARTPIQ choose its artists?

We work exclusively with emerging artists from leading art schools and academies. Each artist is selected by our curatorial team for originality, quality and potential, ensuring that every piece in our catalogue is authentic and investment‑worthy.

Do you ship internationally, and what does it cost?

We offer worldwide shipping. Within our main service regions, packaging and delivery are not included in the price of the artwork. For other destinations, any shipping fees will be calculated at checkout. All artworks are professionally packed and fully insured in transit. For any shipment outside of the EU, duties might apply.

What is your return policy?

Customers generally have a 14‑day return period after receiving an artwork. To initiate a return, contact us first so we can provide instructions and ensure the artwork is properly insured. Exceptions might apply in case of custom works.

How long does the delivery of the artwork take?

Shipping times vary by destination. We package and send most artworks within 2–5 business days; delivery to your location typically takes an additional 2–7 days. You’ll receive tracking information as soon as your piece leaves our studio.

Can I meet the artist?

Whenever possible, yes. Through our events programme and Pro membership tier we organise studio visits, private exhibition previews and dinners with our artists. If you’re interested in meeting the creator of a piece you’ve purchased, let us know and we’ll do our best to arrange an introduction or invite you to an upcoming event.

What if I don’t like the artwork that I have just ordered?

If the piece isn’t right for you, please get in touch within 14 days of receiving it as long as the artwork is in its original condition. Depending on availability, we can also suggest alternative works or arrange an exchange.

What if I’m not sure about purchasing an artwork without seeing it in real life?

We understand that buying art online can be daunting. You can request additional photos, videos or a virtual viewing of the artwork to see details and scale. And in case the piece isn’t right for you, don’t forget you can return it within 14 days of receiving it. Just get in touch! Depending on availability, we can also suggest alternative works or arrange an exchange.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. We offer flexible payment options through select partners, allowing you to spread the cost over several months. When you check out, choose the instalment option (where available) or contact us to discuss a bespoke payment plan.

Can I buy art as a company?

Absolutely. We work with businesses of all sizes to source art for offices, hospitality spaces and corporate collections. We can provide invoices to your company, handle VAT requirements and advise on curation.
