Follow on Google News | New Art Website Set to Change the Way We Buy ArtArtweb.net is a newly launched fine art marketplace, set to radically shake up the art industry. The website uniquely allows art buyers to buy art at 0% commission, directly from jury-selected artists from around the world.
By: Colin Mansell Traditional ‘physical’ Artweb.net is setting a totally different precedent – it charges no commission on sales, and is instead funded through a low monthly membership fee, allowing member artists to sell art online at 0% commission. Once an artist has been selected by the site’s curators, they can host and sell their art through their own unique web page on the site. Much like existing marketplaces, they can connect their own Paypal account and the site offers a system of testimonials that in the event of a sale allows buyers to leave feedback on their experience of dealing with the artist. Artweb.net also offers some revolutionary new tools that allow art buyers to be able to picture the individual art work ‘in the flesh’, including a close-up zoom, a ‘view to scale’ function, and a 3D ‘virtual gallery’ environment. Now people can browse, view and buy art from the comfort of their own home, without pushy gallery owners and sales people breathing over their shoulder. The site was started by Colin Mansell, who has been involved in online art sales since 2004, and has been interviewed by CNN and The Times regarding online art sales, as well as a growing team of curators, writers and editors who determine the direction of the community. The site has seen an incredible response from artists, and has seen extraordinary growth in the first few weeks with over 300 jury-selected artists already displaying their work on the site. Artweb.net is set to become one of the largest curated art marketplaces in the world, always focusing on quality and remaining true to what’s right for our members. # # # Artweb.net is the fastest growing online art marketplace on the web, allowing art buyers to buy art at 0% commission, directly from jury-selected artists from around the world.
