About Us:

The Art Project is based out of Vancouver, BC and was created by two guys with a passion for art and the World Wide Web. The Art Project has created an environment with the artist in mind. It is a space where artists can set their own price, submit art pieces that they choose, and control many aspects of their own content without the hassle of building their own site. The Art Project is also a place where artists are not paying high art gallery fees which in turn allows buyers to get the best possible deal on amazing art, and the artist are compensated for their talent.

The Project:

The Art Project is a project that will let the artist display their work to the world. To aid the Art Project with marketing and promotions, we have teamed up with online marketing experts Fogg Industries to give artists the greatest internet exposure possible. This project was developed by artists for artists and is a place where an artist can be in full control of their art by choosing which art pieces to display, as well as how much they wish to charge per piece.

About Author

cofounder of the art project

Maybe you buy art simply to decorate. Most of us do. We have a blank wall and want something fabulous, so we go looking for a great piece of art.

But, have you ever considered collecting art? Take a look around at the art on your walls to see if there’s a common thread or theme that emerges. Do you have a number of florals? More than one landscape? Or, maybe you have a budding art collection of pieces purchased on trips you’ve taken.>

Of course, when we talk about paintings, we’re talking about real art. Art that’s created by actual, living artists. Not art you’d buy in a department store. So, if you have that kind of art – real art – you can stop thinking of it as a bunch of paintings, and turn it into a budding art collection.

Here’s a wonderful example of real art that’s collectible and affordable.  This fine art photo could be the beginning of a wonderful Americana art collection.  There are literally thousands of artists who artfully document everything American, including this example of a vintage sign advertising the last privately owned bar in Fort Lee, New Jersey.  The artwork titled The Last One is a 20″ x 24″ print available for $125 from fine art photographer Nick D’Andrea. http://www.discoveredartists.com/.

A collection of vintage, neon bar signs or advertising symbols from the 1950′s could create an interesting, decorative art wall while at the same time become an enjoyable pursuit as you hunt for more Americana artwork.

But, the subject area for art collection themes is wide open.  For example if you absolutely love cityscapes and have photos of skylines and skyscrapers, before you know it you’re an Architectural Art Collector. Or, if you have a couple of floral or animal prints, and begin collecting similar pieces, you can build a collection of botannicals or nature artworks

Believe it or not, chickens and cows are very big with collectors.  These are creatures that artists particularly like to paint, often because of the challenge of turning fur and feathers into interesting, lifelike figures with personality.  Rooster 25 is a perfect example of an artist who took on and met the challenge.  This fierce looking bird already has his feathers ruffled, ready to strike without provocation.  The painting is an original 12″ x 12″ oil on canvas by artist Ilse Kleyn and sells for $100 in the artist’s DiscoveredArtists.com gallery. http://www.discoveredartists.com/

So, all you really need to do to become an art collector is to put some thought into your art buying. Before you know it, instead of just buying art, you’ll be collecting art.  Decide on a theme based on art that appeals to you. Perhaps you love raku vases, or glass art. Or, maybe you’re attracted to bronze figurines. If you’re into wall art then cityscapes and watercolors from a particular country could become a theme for your collection.

 Cityscape at Dusk is a wonderfully warm, inviting photo that captures a moment in time at the intersection of North, Damen and Milwaukee Avenues in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. Collecting photos and original art that takes you back to places you’ve visited or neighborhoods where you once lived adds meaning to the art that you use to decorate your home or office.  This fine art photo by photographer Kurt Kramer can be purchased for $90 in his online gallery at DiscoveredArtists.com and is just one in a series of collectible, big city neighborhood cityscapes.

So, as you can see, there’s no end and no limit to the types of themes for collecting art. In fact, many collectors just buy what they like and create collections comprised of favorite artworks. These are collections that bring the owner years of pleasure and great satisfaction.

In fact, when compared to using art simply to decorate or to impress someone, collecting art gives you an even greater payoff. The process of collecting art is a life enriching hobby that beautifully mirrors who you are and shows the world what you love.  It can return a lifetime of satisfaction and value.
