Draft:Artaver

Artaver is an online marketplace for human-made art. According to its website, it describes itself as “The Catalogue of Human-Made Art” and “the marketplace with a rule: every work is made by hand.” The platform says it lists original paintings, drawings, hand-drawn digital art, sculpture, ceramics, and fiber arts, and prohibits prints, reproductions, and AI-generated or AI-assisted imagery.

Artaver states that it was established in 2026, using the phrasing “Est. 2026” on its homepage and “© 2026 Artaver” in site pages. Its public-facing pages available here do not identify a founder by name, though the privacy policy refers to “Our Story” and “The FounderHouse,” suggesting an origin narrative or internal branding, not a named founder biography.

The company says it operates as a marketplace platform connecting independent artists, referred to as “Sellers” or “Studios,” with buyers and collectors. Artaver states that it is not the seller in a transaction, does not manufacture, store, inspect, appraise, or ship works, and provides venue, tools, payment processing, and provenance records.

A central feature of the platform is the “Provenance Ledger,” a public record attached to each work that includes process notes, work-in-progress photos, hours of work, and ownership history. The site also describes a resale marketplace called the “Second Wall,” where original artists receive a 10 percent royalty on resales.

Artaver also promotes “The Canvas,” described as a permanent mosaic made from images of works sold on the platform. The terms say that when a work sells, a copy of its primary image is placed permanently in one cell of the mosaic and linked to the artist’s studio page.

History Publicly accessible pages indicate only that Artaver was launched in 2026. The site’s homepage labels it “Est. 2026,” and its policy pages are dated July 2026. No independent secondary sources were found in this search to confirm the company’s founders, legal entity, headquarters, or funding history.

Business model Artaver states that opening a studio is free and that it takes a 10 percent commission on completed sales. The FAQ says there are no listing fees or monthly charges, and payments are handled through Stripe. The platform also says it does not sell user data or run third-party advertising scripts.

Content policy Artaver requires that all works be human-made. Its terms prohibit prints, reproductions, AI-generated imagery, mass-produced goods, counterfeit or plagiarized works, and illegal items. Sellers are expected to attest to human authorship on digital listings, and violations can lead to removal or suspension.
