ArtLifting

About

ArtLifting is a public benefit corporation based in Boston, MA, founded in 2013 by Liz Powers and Spencer Powers. The company focuses on enhancing access to the art market for artists with disabilities and those facing housing insecurity. By connecting these artists with socially conscious customers, ArtLifting aims to create meaningful spaces and products while fostering financial resilience for its artists. The company offers a platform for artists to sell original artwork and prints, as well as licensing their work for products like tote bags and clothing. Artists earn 55% of the revenue from each sale, allowing them to generate income from their creations multiple times. Initially serving individual customers, ArtLifting has shifted its focus to corporate sales, providing art for workplaces, hospitals, hotels, and other institutions. This model supports a diverse group of nearly 206 artists across 36 states and has generated significant sales and royalties, contributing to the economic stability of its artists.
