About CanvasCircle™

Today, a large portion of art resale happens across Facebook groups and online communities. While these spaces are active and valuable, they're often unstructured. Listings can be inconsistent, incomplete, and difficult to navigate. Important details get lost, and both buyers and sellers spend unnecessary time managing the process.

There's also the constant pressure to stay visible by bumping posts, reposting listings, and competing with ever-changing algorithms just to be seen.

CanvasCircle brings structure to that environment.

It provides a simple, consistent way to create clean, organized listings that include all the information buyers actually need, without unnecessary clutter. Instead of relying on individual posts, listings live in a centralized online catalog. Sellers can direct buyers to their listings through a clean, filterable interface, making it easier for buyers to browse, compare, and engage without the noise of social feeds.

CanvasCircle is a listing platform, transactions stay direct. We don't process payments, handle logistics, or sit in the middle of transactions. Instead, we provide the infrastructure that helps collectors and buyers connect more efficiently, while maintaining the flexibility and independence of social selling.

CanvasCircle is for collectors. Listings are posted by people offering pieces from their own personal collections, not by artists selling their own original work, not by dealers or galleries selling on behalf of others, and not by anyone consigning art for a third party. The seller of record must be the legal owner of the piece they're offering. If you fall into one of those other categories, please use a platform built for that.

CanvasCircle is free to buy and sell, forever. No transaction fees. No listing fees. No membership fees. The collector resell core stays free as a matter of principle, once a platform takes a cut of every sale, it's structurally pushed to surveil its users to capture that revenue, and the seller-vs-platform dynamic that follows is exactly the friction CanvasCircle was built to avoid. Direct seller-to-buyer interactions are the product here, not a workaround.

Why CanvasCircle Exists

Better listings lead to better outcomes.

When listings are clear, complete, and consistent:

• Buyers can quickly find relevant works
• Sellers receive more serious inquiries
• Less time is spent reformatting, reposting, and competing for visibility

CanvasCircle reduces the friction of social selling by replacing scattered posts with a structured, centralized experience.

What Makes CanvasCircle Different

CanvasCircle is designed around how art is actually bought and sold today.

A Better Way to Sell Art Online

CanvasCircle doesn't replace social platforms, it complements them.

By combining structured listings with a centralized catalog, it transforms fragmented, feed-based selling into a more organized, efficient, and professional experience for the collector community.

Sales Post Builder for Sellers

A built-in tool that turns any group of your listings into a ready-to-post Facebook sales post, generating both the structured text and the collage images in one step.

For active sellers, this replaces the tedious workflow of formatting each piece by hand, building collages in another app, and re-typing the same header/footer for every Facebook group they post to. It lives inside your seller dashboard once you're signed in, tap Build Facebook Sales Post from your dashboard to open it.

What it does:

• Structured text generation. Pick the listings you want to share, hit Generate, and get a clean, formatted text post with artist, title, price, dimensions, medium, COA, and shipping details for each piece. The text is editable before you copy it.
• Smart auto-grouping for repeated listings. Selecting multiple pieces from the same artist with the same category & medium (e.g. five giclées on canvas by the same artist) automatically condenses them into a single grouped block, one shared header, a clean dash-list of titles and dimensions below. Massively shorter and easier to read than five repeated blocks.
• Per-group post presets. Save named header + footer combos for each Facebook group you post to (different tone, hashtags, link policy). Switch between presets with one click before generating.
• Optional auto-link. Each preset can append your seller-page link at the end of the post so buyers can jump to your full catalog. Per-preset toggle, since some groups prefer no external links.
• Smart filter quick-selects. One-tap filters for common posting patterns: ✨ New 7d, 💎 Available, 📉 Price drops 14d, ✓ Verified only, ⏳ Aging 60d+, ⇄ Open to Trade.
• Auto-generated collage images. Pick how many listings per image (1, 2, 4, or 6) and the tool renders polished collage PNGs with each artwork's name and title overlaid on the image.
• One-tap share on mobile. On iPhone and Android, a Share images button opens the native share sheet, pick Facebook to attach the collages directly to a new post. Desktop users get a Download all (.zip) button instead.
• Real-time search within the picker. Power sellers with hundreds of listings can text-search by artist or title to narrow the selection on the fly.
• Only admin-approved listings. The picker only includes listings the admin has approved, so non-Established sellers can't broadcast unreviewed listings before the verification process completes.

The result: a workflow that used to take 20-30 minutes of formatting per post, open multiple apps, type the same header, manually crop and arrange images, copy fields one piece at a time, collapses into a couple of taps. For sellers active across multiple Facebook groups, the time savings compound every week.

Collections, Your Personal Art Catalog

A private catalog of every piece you own, with the option to share it publicly so other collectors can see what's on your walls.

Collections is a CanvasCircle feature for the part of being a collector that has nothing to do with selling. It's a place to log every piece you own (signed prints, originals, gifts, pieces that have been in the family for decades), keep your own notes on each one, and optionally share the publicly-facing pieces with the community.

What you can do with it:

• Catalog what you own. Add the artist, title, medium, category, dimensions, frame size, COA status, and an image you took yourself. Optional fields capture the story of how you acquired the piece.
• Keep private notes only you see. Each piece has owner-only fields for an appraised value, what you paid, and free-form private notes. None of that ever appears publicly, anywhere on the platform, ever. They're stored for your own records.
• Decide what's public. Your Collection is private by default. If you're an Established Member you can flip it public, and it'll appear as a Collection tab on your seller page next to For Sale and In Search Of. Within a public Collection, each individual piece has its own toggle so you can keep specific pieces private.
• Get matched to buyers looking for what you own. When someone posts an In Search Of for a piece in your Collection, you get a push notification with a link to their post. You decide whether to reach out. Your identity is never revealed to the buyer; they only see an anonymous "N collectors in the community own a matching piece" count.
• Round-trip between For Sale and Collection. Test the market on a piece, and if nothing happens, flip the listing into Collection state without losing your ownership verification, photo, dimensions, or any other detail. Months later, flip it back to Available with a single click. No re-listing, no re-verifying.
• Convert a Collection piece into a listing. Decide to sell something you've cataloged? "Sell this piece" opens the new-listing form pre-filled with everything you've already entered, including the photo. Add a price and shipping and submit.
• Add pieces you bought through CanvasCircle in one tap. When a seller marks your accepted offer as Sale Completed, a banner appears on your dashboard inviting you to add the piece to your Collection. The form is pre-filled from the listing.

The bigger picture: Collections turns CanvasCircle from a place you visit only when you want to buy or sell into a place you can come back to as a collector. Share your public Collection link on Facebook or Instagram, your friends and fellow collectors land on a beautifully laid out catalog of what hangs on your walls, with an automatic preview card when shared on iMessage or any chat app.

Install the App for Push Notifications

The most useful reason to install CanvasCircle on your phone is push notifications. Once installed, you'll get a buzz on your lockscreen, just like any native app, for three things you'd otherwise miss:

• New buyer inquiries on your own listings, so you can respond while interest is hot.
• Follow updates when an artist or seller you follow posts a new listing, be the first to see it before it hits the rest of the catalog.
• Price drops on listings you've saved, so you don't miss the moment a piece becomes affordable.

CanvasCircle is a Progressive Web App, which means there's nothing to download from the App Store, you pin the site to your home screen and it opens like a real installed app: full screen, no browser bars, signed in across visits.

The install takes about ten seconds and works on both iPhone and Android:

• iPhone: Open the site in Safari, tap the Share button, choose Add to Home Screen. (Required for push notifications on iOS, Apple only allows installed web apps to send them.)
• Android: Open the site in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu, choose Install app.
