Hands down this site is fantastic. Lots of options for whatever picture you want.

I just whish more money could go to the Artists.
But, over all a great site.

I gave purchased several products from Fine Art America and am very pleased with the quality of my products. They were shipped to me in a reasonable amount of time in spite of their high volume sales. Thank you FAA!

I have worked with Fine Art America for a long time and could not be happier with the company. Everything they do is first rate, from easy ordering, to fast delivery. The quality is excellent with beautiful colors and nice heavy weight papers. I will certainly use then again!

I ordered some Christmas gift items for my family using my photo art. I received my orders today and am very pleased with the quality. The fabric is a very sturdy, dense polyester that is sewn together perfectly. I was afraid that the photos printed on fabric might appear washed out, but these have deep, rich colors. I will definitely be proud to give these as gifts this year.

Fine Art America is a master manipulator with respect to the internet search. As you can see they had horrible reviews here for a very long time and getting worst each month thats for sure. More and more artists and customers were calling them out. All of a sudden from the end of January till now, they are getting 5 start reviews buy the hundreds. Why didn't they get this before, if they were so great.
Because they email and use their built in forum to ask the artists to write 5 star reviews for them. They have done this many times before while I was a member. Site-jabber should be able to figure this out.

An artists perspective,
I have tried FAA three times now. The first time, I just felt uneasy and left, the second time I was banned for a year for confronting a moderator in the discussion forum about them breaking the there own rules consistently spamming every discussion with their images for sale.
Third time was the charm. I actually told myself to give it a real go and forget the past. I uploaded about 300 images. Sold a few from my Instagram posts, not from the FAA search that they brag about.
First of all, if your a new photog or artist that is coming there to sell, best of luck. The system they use is a pyramid structure. The more sales you have, the higher you move up in the search. So that means others who have been there for 3 to 7 years are on top, even if the work they sell is sub-par. *A lot of it is* What FAA and the frequent users will tell you is, if you want to sell online, you have to work hard at it. If you cant bring your own buyers here, your lazy. Where else can you get your own website for $30. They have this notion that $30 dollars is cheap to get your own site to sell.
First of all, you don't own anything or have a website there. Its a page that FAA owns that you use. Again, its not a website and its not yours. All the customers that come in to buy your prints are kept secret for FAA only. You don't get to have your own customers info, FAA does. They wont give you the info from your own sales.
Then they have promotions to help new artists and photogs sell. They don't work and haven't for years. In order to use the promotion, you have to put a link from FAA in a high traffic area in your blog or website, then they are suppose to reciprocate and have your image show on the third row in the first page of search results. For less savvy internet uses, you will say "it works, I see my images". Try signing out and looking. You wont show up, its a facade. They do however take your link. Nice huh. One of the moderators said for over a year that they are working on it, lol. They come up with new items to sell every week, but don't have time to fix important things that help the members. They do take your links though.
Customer service is null for both artists and buyers. FAA never gives any discounts, it has to come from the artists side. They charge a big flat rate because they have to pay a printer, then take their own cut. The artist is left with minimal payout.
The discussion forum is a bunch of groupies that sell pretty well. They will not let you know this at all costs, but eventually they cant hold back from bragging. They will suck you dry for any info you have about social media or other types of marketing that is new, that may help them other places. They will not give you any tips that are relevant, mostly will send you to their blog post from a link. It helps them rank better in FAA's search.
Another important thing to remember is that all those discussions they post can be made private, so only members can see them and anyone can make it private. Yes, so that means when a customer or artist has problems concerning bad workmanship or things not working right and makes a discussion, the regs make it private so no one outside FAA thinks they have problems. Everything is great.
I really don't blame them. Some of them sell a ton and don't want anything to ruin that.
I cant really say much about the printers, because I never ordered anything myself, or would ever. I do see customers that come in to the forum all the time complaining though.
Also, if you do join and pay the $30 for the year, you have to tell a moderator to cancel your membership before the anniversary date, or they will auto-charge you again. Their is no opt out. I'm sure that they hope you forget, because it was only $30 and many people do, until they see the new charge. Lots of those discussions too, but they turn private real fast, so you will never see them.
To me this place is a scam pyramid scheme with no regards for its members. I can only imagine what print labs they use.

We recently moved to a new house and wanted to decorate my walls with paintings. This website has excellent collection for all types of art for any budget. You are guaranteed to find what you want. It comes well packed and looks great. I have bought numerous pieces from this site and have been pleased evertime.

FineArtAmerica was like finding a diamond in a pile of rocks. The selection was extensive and you can buy so many different things. Service was fast and my card arrived looking so beautiful and professional. I will not hesitate to buy from this company again. Glad I found them online as their unique cards are wonderful.

Imagine a seamless experience navigating custom merch web site. The actual artists and designers of images profit through your order. Inspired, I placed my first order as "therapy" during this health crisis in 2020; I highly recommend FineArtAmerica. Wonderful items now cheery and a good feeling to contribute support to the artists!

No issues, lots of selection, easily processed, quickly received. I've ordered two fleece blankets now from an artist friend I've known online for years. Blankets and the art on them is unique and beautiful.

This company did not provide me with a delivery tracking number despite my request. After 3 weeks, I never did receive my order. I've since sent multiple chasers to this rouge company and my emails have gone unanswered. So if you are thinking of ordering your items with this company after reading the strangely overwhelming great reviews, think twice!

We have recently purchased 10+ pictures from FineArtAmerica. All have arrived in great shape with the exception of one. Trying to get a replacement has been a frustrating process because you must work with their customer service by email. I began the process 6 days ago and I have received one email. This would take less than 2 minutes over the phone.

Absolutely horrible company. They do not print according to their schedule and cannot even get the shipping methods right. Both of my orders were completely incorrect and were shipped a diff method than I purchased. Do not trust this company they will totally screw you over every time!

Hi, I ordered these fantastic prints because I could clearly see how high quality they are on their website. They shipped fast in protective packing. They arrived perfect. I was excited to see these as they are glossy/ super clear/ detailed / sharp photos of live in concert rock musicians that are also hard to find. Their are many more subjects to choose from. Concert prints were just what I was looking for. I am impressed that you can order prints in a huge variety of sizes. Which ever size fits your wall space or budget. I also had a good time scrolling through their entire site as they have many unique offerings to choose from, you have to see it, Craig.

I have purchased at least five items, large items typically in the 24"x36" range. Canvas stretched over wood. From selection, to ease of ordering and delivery, everything is flawless. I can't comment on customer service simply because in all these years, I have never needed to contact them. Better than expected for price.

While I don't do lots of business with FineArtAmerica, it's my go-to site for greeting cards and the occasional accessory. The quality of the art and artists represented on FAA is superb across the board. Their service and delivery times are excellent. The only downside to this organization is that my self-esteem suffers when I look at what so many others have created in comparison to my attempts at artistry.

Excellent online shopping site to purchase fine photographic art prints. I also enjoyed browsing. Some of the photography can be described as rare. The purchase went very well. I purchased a beautiful print and it arrived just fine, on time, and looks better than pictured. The frame and mounting is good.

Fineartamerica attracts many many artists with different levels of talent. Some successful artists are now weighting in on SiteJabber. Prior posters were very unsuccessful. Isn't that what America is about? People making their own way in life? I guess those who fail complain a lot about others. FAA is a very successful fulfillment site for all artists, but individual artists have to make it work for them on their own. Many do just that and become pretty successful in the long run.

My son gave me the go ahead to decorate his bathroom in his new house. We spent all of our vacations at the Gulf State Park fishing on the pier. It is our happy place I was thrilled to find this shower curtain!

From their website, they say, "We stock over 250 different frames which can be used to create museum-quality masterpieces from any print." They don't mention the cheap, wavy plastic they cover the print with. They do mention the "finish" but I did not recognize that as a word for the glass. The artist's painting is gorgeous and I may go to a real museum quality gallery to replace this awful, wavy plastic. FineArt Anerica is WAY overpriced.

We are very satisfied with our purchases from Fine Art America. Our first framed photo took bit longer to arrive, probably because of the busy holiday season. We were so impressed and knew we needed another picture for our room, we ordered a second which arrived faster. It was really nice not having to worry about matching the frames. We ordered the identical frames but the second picture is larger than the first and they do look awesome. I was particularly impressed with the shipping and very secure packaging that protected the artwork. This was a good purchase.

Found exactly what I was searching for from an enormous range of pictures. Various size and paper options offered on a very user-friendly site.
Received a high quality print at an acceptable price and beautifully packed. Delivery was very quick considering it came from Netherlands. Highly recommend.

I ordered one item. Received notice that it had been shipped. Waited considerably longer than it should have taken to receive it. Contacted company, got an auto-response promising quick action. Instead, no action and no contact. The only thing they really did right was issue a refund in a timely fashion after I gave up and requested a full refund. And, they issued the refund, but never contacted me. They just don't seem to care.
Update: item finally arrived. If I had thought it was good enough to keep, I would have volunteered to pay for it. I found it to be unsatisfactory, so I contacted Fine Art America and offered to return the item. No response.
Tip for consumers:
I will not be using this site for anything.
Caveat emptor.

FineArtAmerica is the perfect place to find unique items-it seems to have something for everyone. I was looking for a fun shower curtain for our guest bath and found one incorporating my husband's love of both StarWars and guitars. The artwork is unique, colorful and fun! I love that you can easily customize the size/view of the art to get exactly what you want. The curtain arrived quickly and I was very pleased with the quality. I will be ordering more items from the site. It is easy to use but, beware, you will find many wonderful items with art in a variety of media... it will be difficult to narrow down your choices! Highly recommend!

It's easy to keyword search FineArtAmerica for photos of particular places. That's what we did, and then had twenty different lovely prints to choose from by different artists. That was much better than framing one of our vacation photos! Everything about order and delivery went smoothly, and the prints look fantastic on our wall.
