Partial is an art marketplace and platform for artists and art-seekers to connect and engage in real and accessible transactions.

Artists on Partial’s OCAD U Artist Showcase have made more than $120K in rentals and sales on the platform and received various exhibition and speaking opportunities. This is an amazing opportunity to get your work out there, nurture an audience, and sell your work!

- 5.4 million combined impressions

- 233 purchase requests/117 rental requests
