Keep Art It is an organisation with a simple mission: share art with as many people as possible.

We do this through a mix of live events, media production, artists support and community engagement.

Our transition into physical retail is officially underway.J
Just dropped off the very first batch of KeepArtIt apparel at .

You can now walk in and grab our "Share Art Now" and "Art Is Life" tees right off their shelves. Moving from a purely digital print-on-demand model to holding physical stock is a big leap for the brand, but seeing the actual garments sitting on a real shop counter makes it entirely worth it.

If you are local, go support an independent space and check them out.

We just hit a massive milestone at Keep Art It! 🎉
Hard to believe but after 5 years and hundreds of designs, we sold our very first t-shirt design through the website!

A huge thank you to the customer who snagged this vibrant "ART IS LIFE" tee—your support means the world!

Art is quite literally growing and thriving in this design, and it feels great to see it out in the wild. 🌿🎨

To keep making art, the work has to move.

This is an ink portrait of Sam Grudgings, slam winner and at the time of painting, co-host of Milk Poetry. It was painted in 2018 and has since sold.

Selling archive work is one way to sustain an art practice. Commissioning new work is the other. I maintain a transparent model for those commissions by matching my trade to my art.

My day rate to fix a house is £250. My day rate to sit with you and paint your portrait is £250.

The Rate: £250

The Result: A2 unframed ink on archive paper

The Process: In-person sittings to capture the mechanics behind the person

If we want art to survive, we need practical ways to value it. Send a direct message to book a sitting and support the practice.

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS: BOURNEMOUTH & POOLE

Keep Art It is partnering with the Westbourne Rotary Club to bring Rotary Art Live to Jenkins & Sons, and we are looking for local visual artists to round out our lineup!

The Concept:
On June 4th, selected artists (including the brilliant ) will have just 2 hours to complete an original piece of art live. You'll be creating in front of an intimate, engaged crowd of around 70 guests, with live poetry and spoken-word storytelling setting the atmosphere while you work.

The Financial Model:
At the end of the night, works will be sold via a high-stakes silent auction. We are proudly raising money for Dorset Cancer Care (100% of our ticket sales go directly to the cause), but we also believe in supporting our local creative economy.

That’s why participating artists retain 50% of the final auction price for their work, with the remaining 50% going to Dorset Cancer Care.

Event Details:
📍 Jenkins & Sons, Westbourne
📅 June 4th
⏰ 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Live creation from 6-8 PM)

How to Apply:
We have a very limited number of spots available for this event. To pitch yourself, please DM us here or email your portfolio/Instagram link directly to: [email protected]
