38 Best Squarespace Artist Website Examples
I found the best Squarespace artist websites that sell more art!
So, you think your site needs to be as creative as your work. Actually… the opposite. Let the art be loud and the site be quiet. Here are some tips:
- Kill the captions. Darcy HW
uses a 3-column grid of square illustrations with zero text, letting the work sell itself. - Use white space as your frame. Montclaire drops abstract paintings into an all-white layout with single-word serif labels… nothing competing with the art.
- Add urgency with a bold CTA. Nathan Brown
runs a teal “CHECK OUT THE SHOP!” announcement bar that’s impossible to miss.

About this collection
This is a collection of websites organized by the platform they are built on, category, and sometimes tags and the creator. They're here for inspiration. Most websites made it into this collection because they have beautiful designs, while others showcase exceptional copywriting or information architecture.
What this page contains
This page showcases 38 website examples built with Squarespace in the Artist category. Each website includes a tall screenshot, a link to the live site, the platform it was built on, and a description (generated with AI).
Quality may vary by category or platform
Some sites aren't an absolute 10/10, but they shine relative to their categorization. For example, categories like Notary or HOA don't reach the same design heights as Designer or SaaS sites. They're still included so people in those industries have relevant references when building their website.
How these websites are picked
While I won't reveal the exact details of my curation process (so competitors can't copy), I can share that:
- They are all organically sourced (i.e., I don't copy other inspiration galleries)
- It's an arduous process to find these gems. I typically review 10,000 sites to discover just 10 worthy additions.
The purpose of this collection
There are two primary reasons people view these website examples:
- To find design, copy, or general website inspiration from similar businesses in their industry
- To explore the capabilities of website platforms before making a decision
Oh yes, and affiliate marketing. I'm part of affiliate programs for some of the platforms, so if you purchase after clicking a link, I may earn a commission.
