FAQs

FAQ

What kind of platform is ARKPIA?
icon

ARKPIA is an authenticated art commerce platform designed to support more trusted transactions between artists and collectors through artwork authenticity and ownership history. By strengthening authenticity and provenance, it helps protect collectors while giving artists a stronger foundation for trusted visibility and sales.

What is the Selected Artists Open Call?
icon

The Selected Artists Open Call is ARKPIA’s artist campaign for launch. Only 50 artists will be selected, and selected artists receive early access, priority onboarding, launch visibility, and meaningful fee advantages.

How are artists selected?
icon

ARKPIA places the greatest importance on the quality of the work and the strength of its artistic originality. We also consider social presence, exhibition and collaboration history, as well as the diversity within the work, its engagement with contemporary themes, and the clarity of the artist’s creative world. We care less about raw numbers and more about the strength of the work and the clarity of its artistic direction.

Does ARKPIA require exclusivity?
icon

No. Artists remain free to exhibit and sell their work through other channels. ARKPIA is not designed to restrict an artist’s career, but to support authenticity and provenance in ways that offer stronger protection for both collectors and artists.

Do I need technical knowledge to use ARKPIA?
icon

Not at all. ARKPIA handles the technical process in the background so artists can stay focused on creating.

Is there any cost to apply?
icon

No. Applying is completely free.

What is an Art Pack?
icon

An Art Pack is a product designed for artists to access features such as authenticity verification, auction participation, and artwork archiving, and for collectors to support resale activities. Rather than functioning as stored balance, it is structured for immediate use upon purchase. Selected artists may receive a certain amount of complimentary credit as part of their benefits, and granted Art Packs are non-refundable and remain valid for 24 months.

Are emerging artists also eligible to apply?
icon

Yes. ARKPIA values the quality and originality of the work above all else. Emerging artists with a clear artistic direction and strong body of work are welcome to apply.
