95% Complete ~ Patent Pending

ArtMuse Online Gallery is a first of its kind online art gallery entertainment website, dedicated to presenting the best artwork available today. With large, flat screen HDTVs taking the coveted wall space formerly devoted to art, and the proliferation of flat screen TVs in most public venues around the globe, the time has come to market artwork in a fresh, new way. Now, with a few clicks, viewers can create custom galleries for hours of entertainment, share the images with friends, and purchase the work directly from the artist and gallery websites.

Our sincere thanks to all of you who contributed to our Kickstarter campaign and helped us raise almost $13,000!

Ten Reasons Artists Should Join ArtMuse Online Gallery

You built an expensive website - now what?  Are you entertaining people to get their attention? You should be!

Consider how potential patrons are finding you - or not finding you. Do people currently see your work at home, in the waiting room at the doctor/dentist/airport/auto service center? How about in the hotel lobby, staged home for sale, boutique, and at their favorite wine bar? How many TVs did you pass by in the last 24 hours? How many hits has your site received over the past 12 months? We're offering that missing link.

ArtMuse.TV will reach more viewers than any art site out there today -

 1. Our campaign kickoff will provide HDMI cords to select restaurants, hotels and bars in metropolitan areas throughout the US to entertain their patrons  who, when expressing interest, will be given magnets with our logo and website address.

2. Our campaign email blast will reach well over 2 million homes and businesses and go viral with our media affilliates.

3. ArtMuse Online Gallery display ads will be placed promiently on internet radio sites and in art publications.

4. ArtMuse Online Gallery display advertisements will be placed in cultural event publications, such as metropolitan ballet and symphony print programs.

5. ArtMuse Online Gallery will have a presence at the larger art fairs, including Art Basel in Miami and the Sausalito Art Festival. 

ArtMuse Online Gallery is not just another art site -  We're only too aware of the plethora of mediocre art sites out there now, where qualified buyers must spend hours clicking on small images to find your work.

We don't saturate the market with 'like' work - Every artist chosen is done so with the an appreciation for their unique qualities, whether it be the subject matter, medium, geographic location, etc. We limit the number of artists in any given category so each artist has ample opportunity to be seen.

We are not here to replace your art with it's own digital image - In fact, each of the images is watermarked by us to ensure it will not be replicated. This is why viewers will leave our site to go to your site.

ArtMuse assists the artist, the art rep and the gallery - There will always be a need for in-person showing and we'll always need art professionals doing the great work they do for artists. But how do ordinary people KNOW what we like. KNOW what is available. KNOW the artists whose work hangs on our walls? ArtMuse Online Gallery provides live links directly to your website to purchase your work.

We don't collect any commission - We do not exist by individual gallery sales. And we work with both individual artists, artist's reps, and collective galleries representing a number of artists. This works because our artists decide which weblink to use on the ArtMuse Online Gallery site.

ArtMuse Online Gallery IS the social media site - While enjoying your work on the ArtMuse.TV site, viewers can share your work with their friends via FaceBook and Twitter immediately.

How do you know ArtMuse Online Gallery is working? With monthly 'click-through' reports, letting you know how many viewers left our site to visit YOUR site.

 Use your marketing dollars optimally Are you attending the art fairs again this year? Opening your gallery and serving beverages? Sending out print mailers? Hiring sales staff? How much is THAT going to cost you? How well did it work LAST year? We will promote ArtMuse Online Gallery via social media, online media sites such as radio websites, entertainment sites, print and online art journals, cutlural event programs, etc. and do radio and print interviews at no further cost.

Are you trying to get the attention of your favorite gallery or museum? I bet you they'll notice you when they see you on their TV screen.

Don't you want to be part of the revolution in art promotion? We've paid close attention to how to build this site - while waiting for technology and the consumer market to catch up with this idea. Now that the internet has become the new entertainment source and consumers understand the capability of internet entertainment on their large screen TVs, the world is ready for us.
