ARTsynonyme for sustainable art

Can art and ecology work together? We are convinced they can. Discover our commitments to a more responsible platform.

Our concrete actions

  • Guaranteed short supply chains: choosing local artists naturally reduces the carbon footprint of deliveries. On average, our artworks travel less than 150 km.
  • Eco-conscious packaging: we encourage our artists to use recycled cardboard and reusable materials for shipping.
  • Promoting upcycling: many artists create artworks from recovered materials. We highlight them with an “Eco-creative” badge.
  • Complete transparency: every artist page describes their environmental commitment, including materials, techniques and approach.
  • Awareness: we regularly publish articles about sustainable artistic practices.
Our promise

For every artwork sold on ARTsynonyme, we donate €1 to a local reforestation organisation. 0+ trees planted since our launch!
