Society6

Society6 is an online marketplace that enables independent artists to upload and sell their designs on a variety of products. Founded in 2009 by Adam Green and Jeffrey Kalmikoff, the company is based in Santa Monica, California. Society6 operates on a print-on-demand model, meaning that products are only created once a customer places an order. This allows artists to offer a wide range of merchandise without the need for upfront inventory investment.

Artists on Society6 can upload their original artwork, which is then applied to a diverse selection of items. These include art prints, posters, phone cases, throw pillows, blankets, mugs, t-shirts, and wall tapestries, among others. When a customer purchases an item featuring an artist's design, Society6 handles the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. The artist receives a commission on each sale, the percentage of which is determined by the artist.

The platform aims to democratize art commerce, providing a global audience for creators and a unique shopping experience for consumers. Society6 has grown to feature millions of designs from artists worldwide. The company emphasizes supporting independent creativity and offering consumers access to original and expressive home decor and lifestyle products.
