What is Area Artist ?

Area Artist is an online community for artists in Fairfield and Westchester Counties, designed to help you promote your work and reach the audience your work deserves. Area Artist will give you 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. Area Artist 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. Area Artist 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 to Area Artist over my own web site ?

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