The Area Artist online community is designed to help you

promote your work and reach the audience your work deserves.

You will receive a professionally designed, easy to navigate web presence. You will be part of a larger site of juried artists, increasing your reputation and drawing more traffic than most individual web sites. A web portfolio is an invaluable marketing tool for an artist. It allows you to show your work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The Area Artist website gives you a cost effective way to maintain a professional web presence where it counts most, right here in Fairfield and Westchester Counties.

Why is concentrating on local artists so important ?

The people who enjoy art also enjoy participating in the local art scene; attending openings, meeting artists, visiting artists’ studios. In addition, collectors want to see the actual artwork before buying. Therefore our focus is on building a reputation locally. Through our web site, art lovers can preview your work, finding the type of artwork they are looking to purchase. Then, because you are local, people interested in your work can easily see your actual work, either by contacting you or finding out where your work is displayed. The Area Artist website does not try to replace participation in the local art scene, instead it is designed to enhance it, and make it easier to purchase fine art.

What is the advantage of the Area Artist website over my own web site ?

By showing your work with other juried artists you will increase your reputation and your work will receive more exposure. In addition, the cost and time, to design, update and market an individual web site are considerable. With your work on the Area Artist website, you can devote more time to your art.  If you already have an individual web site we will post a link to your website where collectors can find out even more about you. 

Is anyone accepted ?

An artist must submit images for jurying in order to join. Your work is shown only with the best!   We are looking for exceptional and original work. Artists' portfolios should display a unified body of work, and show a mastery of their chosen medium. 

How is my work displayed? What is the cost ?

There is no commission on your sales. The sales take place directly between you and your clients.  We charge only a start up fee for the design of your pages and a membership fee which can be paid quarterly or annually.
