Every HELPS-AUSTIN business supports our community. They donate every month & buy art. You can help our community too. Be that person who HELPS-AUSTIN just by looking around, shopping, and investing in our HELPS-AUSTIN community.
The important thing here is EVERYBODY wins! You create & support the community you want and get rewarded with an art premium you choose. The artist receives their full price.
Sales proceeds are shared between the artist, the nonprofit, and HELPS-AUSTIN. Reproductions could be on paper, canvas, or aluminum, framed or unframed. Options differ from artist to artist. When you buy art, check descriptions for details.
Proceeds shared with HELPS-AUSTIN pay transaction fees, sales taxes, and operating expenses. 100% of our profits are donated to charities helping people find shelter and safety.
Businesses contributing to nonprofits want to share their commitment to the community. That includes you. They may display your art offering customers something to do while they wait for goods or services.
A QR code on the art links to YOUR artwork on HELPS-AUSTIN with your portfolio along with the nonprofits you support. Your participation encourages others to support those efforts too by purchasing your art.
Showcase your art by donating $5 to your favorite nonprofit through HELPS-AUSTIN. You control your price, production, and quality control. Sell framed or unframed reproductions or both. You control the edition size and can print on demand letting your trusted printer print and ship when an order is placed. You maintain possession of the image and copyright.
Get paid when you supply proof of shipment to the buyer.
A nonprofit may choose your art to use as a premium. When any nonprofit selects your art as a donation premium, it increases exposure to a wider audience. You still get the full price. Business and nonprofit efforts bring customers to you. You're always free to sell originals at market prices.
