SHOW YOUR WORK. TELL YOUR STORY. KEEP EVERY SALE.
The Sherpa Gallery is Basecamp's online exhibition platform — a curated digital space where artists in our community show their work, share their story, and connect directly with collectors. A sherpa doesn't stand at the summit; a sherpa helps you reach it. That's the role Basecamp plays here: we carry the infrastructure so you can focus on the climb.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Your own artist page with bio, statement, and contact link
• Up to 20 works listed, with title, medium, dimensions, year, and price
• A “Basecamp to Summit” podcast episode — audio and video — featuring your story and your work
• Homepage rotation
• Feature in the Basecamp newsletter and Instagram at launch and future rotating basis
• Direct sales — no commission, ever. You set the price, you keep the sale.
WHY THE PODCAST MATTERS
Basecamp to Summit exists to illuminate why people create — the journeys behind the work. Every Sherpa Gallery member is invited to record an episode: a conversation about your process, your influences, and the story behind the pieces in your portfolio. It airs on the podcast feed and lives on the Basecamp YouTube channel, linked directly to your Sherpa Gallery page. Story sells art. This is how we tell yours.
