Yes.

• Your past work stays visible: Any previously accepted artwork remains in the Trend Wrap Up catalogs with your contact info for Buyers. Your Member Profile is hidden until you rejoin.
• Monthly: Cancel anytime before the 1st of the month to avoid the next charge. If you’re still enrolled on the 1st, you’ll be billed for that month and keep access through month-end. Just keep in mind, you'll need to resubscribe to gain your access back into the community.
• Annual: Non-refundable. You can turn off auto-renew anytime; access continues until your term ends.

No. We only take art geared towards the monthly trend.

Yes—under clear conditions.

• Disclosure required: If asked, you must let us know if any part of your work is AI-generated.  Some buyers might have issues with AI-generated art + designs and have a right to know what they are licensing.
• Originality only: No copyrighted characters, logos, or look-alike “in the style of” living artists.
• Licensing-ready: Must meet our trend + palette, and file specs (resolution, repeats, etc.). Some products required layered files.  If this is not something you can provide, please let us know when you post your art.
• Best practice: Keep prompts/process notes; they help if questions arise.

If you’re unsure, submit and note your process—we’ll guide you on what’s licensing-ready.

Yes! We welcome surface pattern designers at every level.

• Our monthly trends work great for hero, secondary, and blender prints.
• We give feedback on repeats, scale, colorways, and licensing-ready files.

As always, submissions must fit the month’s trend + palette and meet production standards.

We don’t set a hard cap, but we manage enrollment to protect 1:1 feedback, quality curation, and buyer experience. When we’re at capacity, we may pause new sign-ups and reopen during limited enrollment windows, or use a waitlist.

If we’re full, join the waitlist—we’ll notify you as spots open, often around the start of a new trend month. This helps ensure every artist gets meaningful feedback and fair visibility to buyers.

• Per artist: You can submit up to 15 images each month. Acceptance is curated—we’ll feature your strongest pieces and may select fewer (we avoid near-duplicates or simple colorway swaps).
• Community-wide: No fixed cap. We curate for quality, trend fit, and variety. We may limit similar pieces to avoid redundancy and having images compete with one another.

Yes! We are here for you. While brokering deals is not the goal of our community, we do understand that dealing with contracts and negotiating with manufacturers and retailers is not for everyone. If that is the case we can help you broker your deals, but there will be a cost associated with that on the back end of the deal.

While some brokers charge a one time fee per deal brokered, we think having that fee come at the back end of the deal in the form of a shared royalty makes more sense for artists. Feel free to let us know if that is NOT what you prefer. If it is, we'll charge 20% off all royalties earned for each deal brokered.

Yes—Art Hustle Insider is open to artists, illustrators, and surface designers at any stage (beginner to pro). We sometimes pause new sign-ups or use a waitlist to protect feedback quality and buyer experience.

No—anyone can join.

To be accepted for the Buyer’s page and the Trend Wrap Up, your submissions must meet our requirements: fit the monthly trend + palette, be licensing-ready (resolution, file setup, repeats), and meet our quality + originality standards. We’ll provide feedback to help you get there.

Not by default. To protect privacy (and keep competitors comfortable), Buyer profiles appear anonymously in the directory (e.g., BUYER - MFR - Dinnerware). If a Buyer opts to share contact details, we’ll display them. Otherwise, Buyers contact you directly via the email/links we include on your catalog pages.
