How ArtworkHub SA Works

South Africa's direct marketplace connecting artists with collectors — no middlemen, full transparency.

For Collectors & Art Lovers
Buying Original South African Art

Every artwork on ArtworkHub SA is sold directly by the artist. No gallery markup, no intermediary — your purchase goes straight to the creator.

1

Browse & Discover

Search the shop by style, medium, price, and size. Filter by province to find local artists, or explore our curated collections.

2

Buy Securely

Add to cart and checkout. Pay by EFT, card, or PayFast. No payment is required until the artist confirms the artwork is available.

3

Receive Your Art

The artist packages and ships directly to you. Track your order in your account. We recommend insuring high-value pieces in transit.


For Artists & Galleries
Selling Your Work

ArtworkHub SA is a launchpad for South African artists. Create your free portal, list unlimited artworks, run auctions, and teach classes — all from one dashboard.

1

Create Your Portal

Register free as an artist or gallery. Build your public profile — bio, portfolio, social links, and a custom-branded page.

2

List & Promote

Upload artworks with up to 10 images each. Set your price, shipping terms, and availability. Your work appears in the shop immediately.

3

Get Paid

Buyers contact you for payment. ArtworkHub SA charges a small commission only on completed sales. You keep the vast majority.


Auctions
Live Bidding on South African Art

Artists can run their own timed auctions. Bidding is transparent, real-time, and protected against last-second sniping through our bid-lock system.

💸

Transparent Bidding

All bids are recorded and visible (partially anonymised for privacy). The current highest bid is always shown.

🔒

Reserve Prices

Artists can set a hidden reserve price. Bidders are told whether the reserve is met — never the amount.

Timed Endings

Auctions end at a set time. If no reserve is set, the highest bidder wins outright. The artist contacts the winner to arrange payment.

🔔

Watch & Notify

Log in and click Watch on any auction to follow it. You'll be notified when you're outbid or when the auction ends.


Art Classes & Workshops
Learn Directly from South African Artists

Book a class or workshop with a working artist — in their studio, online, or at a venue near you. All levels, all mediums.

🎓

Browse & Book

Filter by format, skill level, medium, and location. Choose a date and book your seat — no login required for guests.

🏠

In-Person, Online, Hybrid

Classes happen in artist studios, community venues, and online via Zoom or Google Meet. The artist specifies everything upfront.
