For Creators (Artists, Musicians, & Designers)
Does giving away 10% make me a "starving artist"? No—it shifts you into a mindset of abundance. By positioning your work in a high-end, mission-led brand, you value your art at its true worth.
Am I obligated to pay 10% on my local sales not connected to the movement? No. Your commitment to the 10% Legacy™ only applies to work sold through E-Vessel platforms, Living Gallery events, or when specifically representing yourself as an E-Vessel artist.
Do I have to be "good at marketing" or live in a mainstream market? Not at all. Whether you live in a major city or are painting in retirement far from the mainstream, we act as the "Curatorial Bridge." We handle the high-level brand positioning and the Collector Registry so you can focus on your craft.
Is this about NFTs or digital-only shows? Absolutely not. While we use digital tools to connect, our heart is in the physical world. We focus on "Rich, Textured, and Refined" fine art, original music, and tangible vessels. We believe in art you can feel and experiences that happen in person.
What is the "E-Vessel Aesthetic"? We look for Gallery-Ready work that feels Rich, Textured, and Refined. We value organic textures, metallic depth, and "Atmospheric Texture"—work that carries a sense of spiritual weight.
Do I have to show proof of my donation? We operate on a Standard of Integrity. This is a professional and spiritual commitment between you, your buyer, and your conscience. We do not collect receipts; we trust the heart of our creators.
For Collectors & Stewards
Why buy from an E-Vessel artist instead of a traditional gallery? Unlike traditional galleries that take 50% for overhead, our model ensures your investment goes directly to the creator and a minimum of 10% to a global mission.
How do I buy E-Vessel art? You can purchase foundational works by our Founder, Melissa Louise, via the Shop link. To acquire works from our Founding Roster, join our Private Collector Registry for first-look access to creator studios.
When are the live events? We are currently seating our 2026/2027 Living Gallery Series. These are elite, intimate gatherings held in curated, "living" environments rather than traditional, cold white-walled galleries. Registry members receive priority invitations as unique locations are finalized.
Sales & Logistics
Who handles the money?
Private Sales: Transactions happen directly between the creator and the buyer.
Living Gallery Events: For E-Vessel Living Gallery Showcases, the movement facilitates the sale, and a standard curation commission applies to support the movement’s infrastructure.
Who is responsible for the 10% donation? We operate a dual-legacy model. During Living Gallery events, the 10% Legacy is directed to a charity of the Collector’s choice. For all other private sales, the individual creator is responsible for ensuring the donation is made to their chosen organization.
Who is responsible for taxes? For E-Vessel Living Gallery events, tax handling will be specified in the individual event agreement.
