Giwaza.com, an Online Gift Registry for Art

Oct. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Gift givers looking for the perfect gift or couples and others wishing to register for a gift that is both personal and unique can now look to Giwaza.com, an online gift registry for art. Logistically similar to other online wedding registries, Giwaza.com focuses solely on art, including paintings, sculpture, mixed media, photography, collectibles and any other type of visual art. The user-friendly site makes it easy for registrants to invite friends and family to contribute toward a gift, create a personalized web page describing their gift and to communicate with participants. It also allows for the secure collection of funds.
Any art for sale can be purchased using Giwaza.com. Gift givers and registrants can conveniently browse Giwaza’s gallery of work from partner artists or they can select a piece from an independent artist or gallery of their choosing. Photos and descriptions of art chosen independently can easily be uploaded to personalize gift event pages. Giwaza.com is ideal for weddings, housewarmings, retirements, anniversaries, memoriam, business openings, and a host of other gift-giving events.  
Giwaza.com was developed by co-founders Andrew and April Damron who registered for a piece of art when they got married in 2008. “We started Giwaza so that we could register for a painting we’d fallen in love with,” said the Yountville, California couple. “When we saw how excited our friends and family were about contributing to such a personal and lasting gift and how easy the process was for them, we decided to bring the concept to the marketplace.”
Providing a safe and easy method to collect funds from multiple sources, Giwaza.com allows gift registrants to personally select a unique piece of art and invite loved ones to contribute. Once the funds have been collected they are transferred to the registrants so that they may purchase the gift. Purchase price, delivery and timing are arranged directly between the registrants and the artist or gallery. A unique sales tool for artist and galleries looking for new customers, Giwaza.com is currently accepting new partner artists.
Giwaza.com was founded on the belief that art is an ideal gift. Long lasting and meaningful, art provides enjoyment for many years. Its unique ability to evoke emotions makes it one of the most personal gifts imaginable. To learn more visit www.Giwaza.com or contact info@giwaza.com.
