Emerging Art For Sale Thrives In A Struggling Economy

Online, April 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Contemporary art for sale remains an online success at EmergingArtists.com even amidst this recessionary environment. Buyers, artists and collectors continue to show enthusiasm for the online art gallery. Sales of contemporary art remain at levels comparable to those preceding the economic downturn.

"Business is brisk. We really haven't seen a change in buying activity during this downturn," said Bob Renaud, Online Marketing Manager at EmergingArtists.com. "We're seeing customers shop very carefully these days, but overall, we're closing the same number of deals each month as we always have. The recent softening in prices has actually made this economic downturn a buying opportunity for art lovers."

"Customers find great value and satisfaction when buying original art for their home or office," he said. "Many of our customers are first time buyers who are looking for a unique piece of art as a gift or just something for themselves. They are always surprised at how affordable and easy purchasing great original art can be."

EmergingArtists.com is a modern online art gallery catering to "emerging artists" whom have yet to establish a name for themselves. Founded in 2001, the company provides an ecommerce platform for aspiring artists to list and sell their artwork. Signing up and listing works of art is easy and quick. There are no monthly fees for listing the artist's work. Customers from all around the world can purchase unique works of contemporary art at excellent prices before the artists become well known and their work becomes prohibitively priced. All EmergingArtists.com customers enjoy a 7 day in-home evaluation period to guarantee satisfaction with their purchase.

"We have several wonderful pieces from different artists hanging inside our house," said Amy Thompson a northern California native and beginning art collector. "Buying from EmergingArtists.com allows us to decorate our home with beautiful real art from real artists at fabulous prices. Why would we buy copies or knock-offs of modern art if we can buy beautiful original art? We buy what we like and fact that the artwork may appreciate in value someday is just the frosting on the cake. We find it really easy and convenient to shop there."

In this economy, it seems the EmergingArtists.com art gallery is well positioned at the intersection of convenience and value when it comes to purchasing great works of contemporary art. "Where else can you have the chance to buy the next Renoir in your pajamas on a Sunday morning?" said Thomson. We think many homeowners and art collectors would have to agree with her.
