Craftspeople. Designers. Artisans. Makers. Creators. There are many names for the talented people who create the artwork we love—and countless approaches to bringing these pieces to life.
From painters and glassblowers to furniture makers and apparel designers, we represent more than 1,200 accomplished artists, most of whom work in independent studios in the USA and Canada. We are proud to present this diverse roster of remarkable artists to you.
Every artist who applies to Artful Home is individually evaluated in a rigorous jurying process. Only a fraction of the artists who apply are accepted—those whose work demonstrates an exceptional level of creativity, craftsmanship, beauty, and integrity. Read more about our jurying process.
Art with a Story
Every work of art at Artful Home has a story to tell—the story of the artist who made it. Once you invite it into your home, it becomes a part of your life—and the story continues.
Art can be the painting over your couch or the sculpture in your garden. It can also be your coffee cup, your favorite dress, or your wedding ring. When these objects are created with care by gifted artists, they are stunning to behold and a joy to use.
Supporting the Arts
We’ve partnered with American Craft Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting appreciation for contemporary American craft.

Our Roots
Artful Home got its start in 1985 as a publishing company that helped artists sell their work to designers and architects. In 1999, it was transformed into a successful website and catalog offering fine works of art for the home. Today, we continue to offer a breathtaking variety of art through our catalogs and on our website.
