It All Starts With Art

See How We Work

Here’s How It Works

How the art you love becomes a keepsake you'll treasure

STEP 1

We send you an Artkive box

The Artkive box is more than a box: it's the beginning of your Artkive experience. It's sturdy, insured, and large enough to safely send us a lot of art (for multiple kids, too!). Once you order a box, it's time to fill it up! Bring on the joyful memories.

STEP 2

Our creative process begins

Once we get your Artkive box back to our studio, we get to work doing what we love! We'll professionally photograph and edit each piece with studio lighting and state-of-the-art equipment. Once everything is beautifully captured, we'll send you an invoice based on the number of pieces you sent.

STEP 3

It's time to collaborate

Our design team creates a digital proof of your art book or framed mosaic, then sends it to you so you can review, edit if needed, and ultimately approve. Once you give us the green light, we'll send your proof to press!

STEP 4

Your art is Artkived!

We send your custom keepsake to you (with free shipping, as always). We'll also send back your art if you've selected that option at checkout. If not, we'll responsibly recycle it. It's time to place your beautiful new art book on your coffee table, framed mosaic in a place of honor, and enjoy! At this point we recommend collective high-fives, hugs, and major pats on the back. You did it!

Photographer

I have the coolest job. From 3D ladybugs to a self-portrait that rivals Picasso, I never know what I'm going to discover inside an Artkive box. I get to capture each creation with our state-of-the-art tools and make an impact on a young artist's life every day.

YuYi

Art Editor

I find myself obsessing over every little detail of a piece of art. I know I've done my job when the artwork literally pops off of the page and you see things you never noticed before. I love when I hear that art looks even better after I've edited it. That's just the best.

Aren

Book Builder

I studied graphic design, so book building is a real joy for me. There's a real art and science to it, and the stories that unfold inside of a book are amazing. Most parents have no idea just how much they'll learn about their kids through this process. It really is life-changing.

Cody

Mosaic Designer

Designing a mosaic is part curation, part creative direction, and part intuition. I absolutely love it. My goal with every mosaic is that it looks beautiful as a whole, while highlighting each of the 25 pieces of art. Oh, and the wow factor. I live for the wow factor.
