We are committed to supporting artists beyond the first sale. Through our Artist Royalty Program, eligible artists will receive a royalty payment when their work is resold through our platform.
We believe the market should reward not just collectors — but also the creators. This program brings Thailand in line with global art market standards while building trust and transparency between artists, collectors, and platforms.

The program applies to original works of art — including paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, photographs, and mixed media — that have previously been sold through Art Exchanger.
Yes. To ensure accurate and timely payments, you must register with Art Exchanger using our online form. You’ll be asked to submit identification and proof of authorship or inheritance rights.
Artists of any nationality are eligible as long as the work was sold through Art Exchanger. Royalties will be transferred to your bank account in accordance with local tax regulations.
The royalty amount is deducted from the seller’s net proceeds — buyers are not charged additional fees for this program.
Payments are issued within 30 days after the resale transaction is completed and verified. You’ll receive a notification and receipt by email.
No. Registration is free, and Art Exchanger does not deduct any commission from the royalty payment.
Artists may opt out of receiving royalties if they choose, but they must do so in writing. However, this may affect future eligibility.
While resale royalties are not (yet) legally mandated in Thailand, Art Exchanger has voluntarily adopted this program in line with international standards to promote ethical collecting practices.
