Certified Handmade Artifact
We have opened up the application process for members who would like to display the Certified Handmade Artifact. The Certified Handmade Artifact is used to recognize Pro artisans who voluntarily commit to offering only handmade and fine art items in their studios on ArtFire. While ArtFire welcomes and celebrates the creative process via many different channels, we are excited to provide our Pro artisans dedicated to the handmade process with this opportunity for further distinction.

Artisans who are awarded the Certified Handmade Artifact will display both the small version of the artifact in the “Awarded Artifacts” box, and a more visible designation with a clickable description directly underneath the artifact box. A full explanation of the artifact, the requirements, some frequently asked questions and the application itself can all be found here.

Christmas in July
The Christmas in July sale is in full swing on ArtFire! Members are participating by tagging their items to appear in the Christmas in July Trend page, tweeting secret santa messages, entering the official ArtFire contests (via Twitter, Facebook, and Blogs) and more! This artisan-lead promotion is scheduled to run until July 25th, so whether you’re bargain hunting, looking to win a few shopping sprees, or want to offer your own sale, hurry to take part in the fun!

As we work to keep ArtFire on the leading edge of e-commerce innovation we want to thank you for your continued support and participation in the ArtFire community.
