Specific licensing terms will be outlined in your Artist Agreement.

Upon termination, your artwork will be removed from future production and our online store according to the terms outlined in the Artist Agreement. Existing customer orders and remaining inventory may still be fulfilled or sold.

The HuttoMade Artist Collective was built to create a positive impact beyond apparel.
Every qualifying purchase supports both the artist and a community nonprofit partner, helping strengthen the place we all call home.
Because your artwork deserves to be seen.
The Artist Collective gives local creators an opportunity to build their portfolio, earn royalties, reach new audiences, and become part of a community that celebrates creativity while giving back.
You create the art.
We'll help bring it to life.
Featured Artists are selected based on a combination of creativity, originality, community engagement, product performance, and their overall contribution to the HuttoMade Artist Collective. We regularly rotate featured artists to showcase new talent and give artists of all experience levels an opportunity to be highlighted.
First, congratulations! If your design becomes a customer favorite, we'll continue promoting it and expanding opportunities where it makes sense. Your artwork may be featured in marketing campaigns, community events, seasonal collections, or additional product lines. As long as your Artist Agreement remains active, you'll continue earning royalties on qualifying sales.

Royalty payments and ownership rights must be agreed upon by the collaborating artists before the design is approved for production.

While many designs begin on apparel, your artwork may also be featured on hats, drinkware, stickers, magnets, signs, posters, canvas prints, tote bags, home décor, and other products offered by HuttoMade and Fingerprint Ideas. Product selection is based on the artwork, customer demand, and the terms outlined in the Artist Agreement.
