Artist Tiers

Every artist on The Bubble Art earns a tier that grows with their work. It isn't bought — it's built, through real sales, a growing audience, a deeper catalog and verified reviews. Here's how you climb from New all the way to Elite.

Step 1
◔ New

Just arrived

Every artist starts here the moment they join. A blank canvas — your gallery is live and ready for its first collectors.

Reach it: create your artist account.
Step 2
◑ Rising

Gaining traction

Early momentum — you've listed real work and started drawing followers. Collectors are beginning to notice.

Reach it: build a small catalog and following.
Step 3
● Established

A known name

A proven presence with sales on the board, a steady following and a body of work that speaks for itself.

Reach it: consistent sales, followers & listings.
Step 5
◆ Elite

The very best

The rarest tier. Reserved for artists with an exceptional record of sales, a large devoted audience and top ratings.

Reach it: sustained excellence at scale.
What moves you up

Four signals, one score

Your tier is worked out automatically from four things you actually do on the platform. No applications, no waiting — as your work performs, your tier climbs on its own.

🛒

Completed sales

Real pieces sold to real collectors. This is the strongest signal of a working artist.

Weight · Highest

Verified reviews

Star ratings left by buyers who actually purchased from you. Quality is rewarded — and reviews only count once you've made a sale.

Weight · High
👥

Followers

The audience choosing to follow your work. A growing following steadily lifts your standing.

Weight · Medium
🖼️

Catalog depth

The body of work you've listed. Showing up and building a real portfolio counts — though volume alone won't carry you.

Good to know

How it works

It updates on its own

Tiers are calculated automatically and refresh as your numbers change. Make a sale, gain a follower, earn a great review — and your score moves the same day.

You can see your progress

Your profile shows your current tier as a colored badge, plus a progress bar toward the next one — so you always know how close you are.

The Bubble Art can curate

Occasionally we'll hand-pick a promising artist and feature them regardless of the numbers. Curated artists wear their badge with a special note.

Plans & pricing

One account, two worlds to sell in

Progression tiers above are earned. These are the monthly plans that unlock selling — for original art, for trading cards, or both. You always keep 97% of every sale; the subscription is how the platform runs.
