Everything artists and venues want to know before joining the waitlist.

The waitlist

Joining the waitlist reserves your spot in line for when Glintbrush officially launches in your city. It's free, there's no commitment, and no credit card required. When we go live, you'll be the first to know and can officially sign up then.
We're targeting a launch by August 10, 2026. Everyone on the waitlist will be emailed with updates well in advance — no surprises.
We launch wherever we have artists and venues ready to pair. Our first cities will likely be Boulder, CO, Denver, CO, and Hilo, HI — but we plan to expand broadly. If you're anywhere in the US, join the waitlist. We'll notify you the moment we're ready in your area.
Yes. We're being intentional about how many artists and venues we onboard at launch so every pairing gets real attention. Spots are limited per city, so earlier is better.

For artists

You can submit any original work you'd like to display — painting, print, photography, sculpture, mixed media, whatever you create. Work should be ready to hang or display. Individual restaurants may decline a piece if it isn't the right fit for their space, but there's no blanket restriction from Glintbrush on style or medium.
Yes and yes. You set your own prices — we never dictate what you charge. You retain full copyright and ownership of your work at all times. Glintbrush simply helps you display and sell it.
Artists keep 70% of every sale. Glintbrush takes 15% and the venue receives 15%. For comparison, traditional galleries typically keep 50% or more. We designed our split to be genuinely fair to the artist — because that's the whole point.
Each piece of art has a QR code displayed beside it. Diners scan it at the table and can purchase directly — no awkward conversations, no hunting down an email address. You'll be notified automatically whenever a sale is made.
Artists drop off and pick up their own work at the matched venue. We coordinate the timing so you always know exactly when and where to bring your art, and when to swap it out at the end of the month.
Art rotates monthly. This keeps venues feeling fresh and gives every artist regular exposure to a new crowd of diners each month.
You still gain real, sustained exposure — your work is seen by every person who dines at that venue during the month. Many artists find that consistent display builds a local following that leads to commissions, studio visits, and direct sales over time, even in months when nothing sells through the QR code.

For venues

We handle everything: matching you with local artists whose style fits your space, coordinating monthly art rotations, and providing QR codes so your guests can buy pieces they love. You get a constantly refreshed, curated atmosphere — without any extra work on your end.
Yes. Venues receive 15% of every sale made through art displayed in your space. It's a passive revenue stream that requires zero effort from you.
We handle all the work. Glintbrush curates three artist options that fit your space and presents them to you — you simply pick the one you like most. From there, we coordinate everything: scheduling, drop-off logistics, QR codes, and the monthly rotation. You make one easy choice; we do the rest.
That's built into the process. We always present you with three curated artist options to choose from — you pick the one that fits your space best. If none of the three feel right, let us know and we'll find more options. You never get an artist you didn't choose.

Pricing & getting started

Both the waitlist and the full platform are free at launch. Down the road we may introduce optional paid features, but we'll communicate any changes well in advance — and the core service will always be accessible for independent artists and small venues.
