How it works
Every artist here was personally selected. You're not digging through a marketplace of thousands.
A small, hand-picked group of Vermont artists. Every piece is human-made — no AI, no mass production.
Each artist profile tells you who they are, where they live, and what drives their work. You're buying from a real person.
Limited runs, fair prices. Most of what you spend goes directly to the artist. We'll always tell you exactly how much.
We handle printing, packaging, and shipping. You just wait for something good to show up.
Don't miss a drop
Drops sell out. People on our list hear about them first — sometimes a week before they go public.
For Artists
Send us photos of your work. That's the whole job. We do the rest — and it costs you nothing to try.
No listing fees, no monthly charges, no pay-to-play. We only make money when you do.
You keep the physical work right where it is until someone actually buys it. Nothing leaves your hands until there's money involved.
Listing copy, pricing, marketing, customer questions, shipping, tax forms at year end. You make the work. We do the business.
Even if nothing sells, your work has been seen. You get a real online presence and a professional listing — at no cost to you.
If something sells, you get paid.
If nothing sells, you've lost nothing.
There is no downside.
Every piece on Cadence is human-made. No AI-generated work, ever. If it's here, someone's hands made it.
Who we work with
We're selective — not because we want to be exclusive, but because curation is what makes this worth anything to buyers.
Human-made, no AIMade by you, with your hands and your time. That's the whole bar.
Independent and localNot gallery-represented. Rooted in Vermont or New England.
Early to mid-careerNot a hobbyist, not a household name. Somewhere in the middle, doing real work.
Connected to communityYour work says something about where you live or who you're around. That's it — no manifesto required.

About Cadence
Cadence is a small, curated art platform rooted in Vermont. The idea is simple: most artists who make good work don't have the time, the tools, or the interest to run an online storefront. We do that part. Artists send us their work, we handle everything else, and buyers get access to real, handmade art from people actually living and working in this state.
We work as a shared storefront — not a marketplace where you compete for attention, and not a gallery with gatekeepers. A cooperative structure where artists keep most of what they earn and know exactly where every dollar goes.
Every artist on Cadence is based in Vermont or the surrounding region. This is intentionally local.
No AI-generated work. No mass production. If it's listed here, a person made it.
Artists pay nothing to be on the platform. We take a percentage only when something sells.
Prices are set fairly and held firm. We don't do race-to-the-bottom discounting.

This is where your story goes. Where you're from, why you started this, what Vermont means to you, what you've seen that made you think the art world needed something different. Write it however feels natural — people buy from people, and this is where they meet you.
