How I Sell My Art Calendars Worldwide Using Gelato + Etsy

Step-by-step guide for artists ready to scale globally

Are you an artist looking for a way to make passive income and share your work year-round? In this tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to sell art calendars with print-on-demand — using platforms like Gelato and Etsy to reach collectors worldwide.

Whether you’re just starting or expanding your creative business, this step-by-step guide will help you turn your art into a beautiful product that sells internationally.

Here are my first two calendars of my 2026 collection. Have a look.

Why Art Calendars?

Art calendars give your collectors and fans a way to engage with your work daily — while helping you generate recurring seasonal income. But international shipping can be a huge obstacle (and cost!) — especially if you’re a small, independent artist like me.

This is where Gelato’s global print network and seamless Etsy integration come in.
