Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The OpenArtist Program?
It's OpenArt's official creator partnership. A small, hand-selected group of AI content creators who get paid per post, early access to every model we launch, and direct access to our team. It's not a sponsorship or a community program. It's a membership built around the people whose work is defining AI content.
Who is eligible?
We're looking for creators who are actively producing AI-generated content and have a consistent, engaged audience.
How does selection work?
We source from our internal watchlist, referrals from existing OpenArtists, and our broader creator community. We evaluate based on content quality, posting consistency, audience engagement, and how well your voice fits the AI creative space. There are limited seats that open periodically. Applications are open now.
Do I need to use OpenArt exclusively?
No. We ask that you don't mention direct competitor platforms in the same post as OpenArt content, but you're free to create with any tools you want. We do require that content made for the program includes at least one output created in OpenArt.
What kind of content do I create?
Whatever feels natural to you. Tutorials, demo threads, reaction posts, workflow breakdowns, visual showcases, commentary. Your format, your voice, your style. No scripts, no approval chains.
How do I move from Select to Signature?
Performance review happens at the 30-day mark. If your content consistently hits engagement benchmarks and maintains quality, you're promoted to Signature. This unlocks higher pay, a direct Slack channel with our team, quarterly roadmap input, and priority for campaign leads and co-branded content.
Can I apply if I haven't been invited?
The program launched with a curated invite list. We periodically open a limited application window for creators producing strong AI content. If that's you, apply now to be considered for the next cohort.
