In India’s fast-growing creative economy, more and more artists are seeking ways to sell their work independently—without relying on traditional art galleries. Gallery commissions often eat up 40%–50% of an artist’s earnings. But in the digital age, there are far better alternatives. This guide walks you through how to sell your art in India—without losing your creativity or income to heavy commissions.
Most art galleries in India take a steep cut from the selling price, often between 30% to 60%. Not only that, but the acceptance process is slow and biased, favoring already-established names.
Take Aarohi, a watercolor artist from Pune. Despite years of practice, she was rejected by three galleries. “They said my art didn’t fit their theme. It was frustrating,” she recalls. Now, she sells directly online and keeps 100% of her earnings.
Digital platforms have changed everything. Artists can now build portfolios, reach collectors globally, and manage sales independently.
Instagram and YouTube Shorts have made art discovery social and viral.
