Free Art Giveaway: Direct From the Artist

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

This week’s giveaway features a selection from Artful Home, an online gallery connecting collectors with over a thousand professional artists. The site showcases more than 12,000 original works, including wall art, sculpture, furniture, and decorative accessories. Unlike some marketplaces, contributing artists are reviewed and selected by a panel of adjudicators, so the collection emphasizes thoughtfully made, high-quality pieces.

We explored the collection and kept returning to a few pillows we loved. Rather than pick just one, this giveaway lets the winner choose from four distinct pillows: two linen, nature-inspired designs by Mariah Wren, and two bold, graphic eye-chart-style pillows by Heather Lins. The options range from soft, organic textures to striking typographic graphics, giving the lucky recipient the freedom to match their own decor style.

  • PRIZE: Your choice of one of the four pillows shown above (valued at $90 – $95).
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the phrase “I HEART ART.”
  • BONUS QUESTION: Tell us about your favorite piece of art currently in your home, whether it’s a professionally made work or a treasured creation from a child.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 8pm EST.
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One winner will be selected.
  • ELIGIBILITY: The prize ships to addresses in the United States and Canada.
  • RULES: One entry per email address. The winner will be chosen at random and announced the following Thursday. Good luck!

Artful Home is a great source for original, studio-made objects that help personalize living spaces. From unique textiles to handcrafted furniture and limited-edition wall art, the platform highlights artists working in a wide range of materials and styles. Choosing a pillow from this small selection gives the winner a chance to add a distinct, studio-made accent to their home—whether they prefer subtle botanical motifs on natural linen or a bold, graphic statement piece.

Why pillows? Decorative pillows are an accessible way to update a room’s look without committing to large-scale purchases. A well-chosen pillow can introduce color, pattern, or texture and tie together existing elements in a living room, bedroom, or reading nook. The linen pillows by Mariah Wren bring an organic, tactile feel ideal for relaxed, warm interiors. The eye-chart-style pillows by Heather Lins offer a playful, contemporary vibe that suits modern and eclectic décors.

If you’re entering, remember to include the entry phrase exactly as written: “I HEART ART.” Also consider answering the bonus question to share a bit of your own decorating story; we love seeing how readers incorporate art—professional or homemade—into their homes. Whether it’s a framed print from a favorite local artist, a bold poster, a piece of ceramic work, or a painted masterpiece created by a child, every home has a piece that tells a story.
