Melbourne, Australia – 21 May 2025
MakeArt, a new artist-driven digital platform, officially launches today with a bold mission: to support, empower, and uplift artists and craftspeople around the world through free educational resources, affordable selling tools, and a community-first ethos that keeps commission fees low so creators can truly benefit from their work.
Founded by an Australian artist and a clever Mexican software engineer, MakeArt is built on lived experience and technical expertise. It’s a space created by creators, for creators — offering meaningful, practical support to help artists grow, earn, and thrive.
“As an artist myself, I know how difficult it can be to find affordable tools, grow your skills, and get fairly paid for your work,” said Debra Roberts, co-founder of MakeArt. “This platform is what I always needed — and now it’s here for everyone.”
MakeArt offers a growing library of free tutorials, courses, and workshops across various artistic disciplines. Whether you're just beginning or refining your craft, you’ll find guidance and inspiration — all at no cost.
Connect with fellow artists through forums, curated events, and an Australia-wide directory of art associations. MakeArt is a collaborative community where creativity and support go hand in hand.
Open your own store on MakeArt and reach a global audience — without losing your earnings to high fees. The platform is built with low commissions, and future plans include offering discounted art supplies through community partnerships.
While MakeArt began in Australia, it welcomes creators worldwide. Features like international shipping, global currencies, and cross-border networking are already in development.
“We’re not just launching a website — we’re building a movement,” added Roberts. “A creative home where artists don’t have to fight against the system to survive.”
