I'm glad to be one of the first to start this buzzzzzzz.... I'm a believer! And I thought I had seen it all!
An artist friend of mine told me about this new web site. The site just went "live" officialy a couple of days ago. www.fineartregistry.com. She told me that it was brand new and that she had never seen anything like it--a dream site for self-representing artists, she told me. She was so excited about it, she was bursting (and she never gets excited about anything). I couldn't imagine what was so different about this new site. So I paid the site a visit. I must admit, I was blown away! What an awesome concept! It's about time!!!! Could it be that someone finally has come along to champion independent artists everywhere????!!! They plan to host live art exhibitions for all artists, not just the "chosen" few.
When you visit, and you definitely should...you'll see that it's a PERMANENT registry. After I got to thinking about the idea of a "permanent" catalog, I started getting excited. You can put your entire digital portfolio on the site--biography and all--even the items you've already sold for all time! Where on the web can you do that?! No where!! And you get to put 50 pieces up for sale on the site with no time limit. Every artist should check this site out.... I still can't believe it...and wait til you read about how little it costs you...and no commissions!!!! There's a lot more, too...like streaming art news, events, etc, and a Cafe like this forum! I haven't finished reading about all of the other benefits, but WOW!!!
I say Kudos to the company behind this site! Thought you'd all like to know!!
