Sell it. Build it. Prove it.
ArtKeyFact is a Montréal studio working with visual artists and manufacturers. We sell art online, we build the custom systems that let a manufacturer sell online, and we certify numbered editions.
For painters, 3D artists, photographers and AI artists.
Representation and digital marketing for visual artists. We set up your online storefront, run your campaigns, handle the sales, and produce your reproductions through a professional print partner: numbered, packed and shipped.
For manufacturers and made-to-order businesses.
Custom software that takes a business from quotes by email to orders online: 3D product configurators, automated quoting and ordering, CRM and ERP built around the way you actually work, and AI that assists your team rather than replacing it. Designed by someone who has done the selling, kept the books and written the code.
For artists and collectors.
Every original and every numbered reproduction we produce comes with a digital certificate of authenticity: who made it, which edition, which number, all verifiable online. Next, we’re building the layer where the certificate follows the piece from owner to owner and pays the artist on every resale. The first artists to join get it free.
ArtKeyFact (ArtCléFact in French) was founded in 2021 by Francis Bélanger. An accountant by training, he spent ten years promoting clubs and festivals in Montréal (2003–2013), ran a web agency for eleven years (2013–2024), and since 2021 has been director of strategy and innovation at a Québec manufacturer, where he built the online sales infrastructure and the 3D configurator behind its growth.
We work in French and English, on site in the greater Montréal area or remotely.
