Excel with Embrace Creatives

Embrace Creatives is an additional sales channel for professional artists. EC markets and sells artwork to a wide range of clients from collectors to interior professionals, giving our approved artists more room to explore their creativity.

Andrea believes all artists are worthy but our exclusive showroom only accepts outstanding artists and designers who can show us their business acumen as well as a cohesive body of work.

“Why?” you ask. Because every commercial buyer, collector, and interior professional puts “professionalism” at the top of their “What I look for in an Artist” list.

Andrea seeks high quality art and design objects but also high quality creators who will rise to her high business standards because her buyers demand it and because she doesn’t want to waste her time doing business with people who will make her job harder.
