Our reasons
Launched in 2008, ArtSales.com.au is an initiative designed to overcome some of
the more common problems encountered in the offline art world, and to make art a
more accessible, affordable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
As I see it, the main problems are:
•Not enough available gallery space for the number
of artists wanting to show
their work
•The highly competitive and selective basis on
which commercial space is allocated
•Economic factors: high commissions can make
it tough for both the artist and the
buyer, (standard commercial arrangements are often half of the sale price)
•Some less wealthy people often feel unwelcome
or uncomfortable in private
commercial art spaces (occasionally this also includes artists...)
•
And some people are afraid of just saying the wrong thing or of looking ignorant.
Art should be for everyone and so our aim is to create a user friendly space where
artists and buyers of all kinds can show and browse, sell and buy works, in a way
that suits everyone.
ArtSales.com.au is located in Melbourne, Australia, and we pride ourselves on being
a friendly and enthusiastic business. We are always looking for ways to bring you
a better art experience, so if you have any suggestions or comments,
we would love
to hear from you.
Our mission
"Letting everyone own and enjoy original
art."
