Abstract: A system for monetizing a digital artwork. A patron edition system server provides a user interface through client devices which can be used for uploading a digital artwork to a data store by an artist or by a representative. The system generates a limited number of patron edition copies of the digital artwork as desired by the artist and enables transfer of ownership executable through the user interface for each patron edition copies. A sharing copy of the digital artwork is generated which is used for providing an Art-as-a-Service feature by streaming the sharing copy to client devices with temporary viewing rights in exchange of a fee from customers. The system facilitates sharing of the fee among a plurality of stakeholders. The limited number of patron edition copies makes the digital artwork exclusive whereas the Art-as-a-Service feature enables generation of a recurring income from the digital artwork.
