GuestHouseArt for Artists
Where Your Art Lives, Travels, and Sells
GuestHouseArt connects artists with beautifully designed short-term rental homes, placing original artwork directly inside high-traffic Airbnbs.
Your work is experienced in real spaces by real people—often turning moments of connection into sales, commissions, and long-term exposure.
This page explains exactly how it works, how artists are paid, and why GuestHouseArt is different from galleries, pop-ups, or online marketplaces.
Our Mission (Artist-First, Always)
Most artists face the same problems:
- Limited gallery access
- High booth fees and low sales
- Endless social posting with little return
- Work sitting in storage instead of being seen
GuestHouseArt exists to change that.
We help artists:
- Get their work seen daily
- Place art in high-quality environments
- Reach non-artist buyers
- Create passive income opportunities
- Build credibility and content at the same time
How GuestHouseArt Works (Step-by-Step)
1️⃣ Artist Application & Review
Artists apply by submitting:
- Portfolio images
- Medium and style details
- Size and value ranges
- Availability and placement preferences
We review each artist for:
- Quality and craftsmanship
- Durability for hospitality spaces
- Aesthetic alignment with our homes
We curate intentionally. This protects your brand and the homes displaying your work.
2️⃣ Artwork Matching & Placement
Once approved, we match your artwork to Airbnbs based on:
- Home style and color palette
- Guest type (luxury, family, coastal, etc.)
- Wall size and layout
- Artwork value and risk level
Artwork may be placed:
- In living rooms
- Bedrooms
- Dining areas
- Entryways or feature walls
Every placement is intentional, styled, and documented.
3️⃣ Installation & Display
Depending on location:
- GuestHouseArt coordinates installation with the host
We ensure:

Guests can:
