Artndeed








 

Since 1999, Artndeed has engaged the fine art world in the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean for the purpose of enhancing the cultural appreciation of art from all corners of the globe


We do this in several ways:


We promote, acquire and sell art, developing relationships along the way with the artists, collectors, purveyors, luminaries, organizations and institutions that bear upon the fine art world and its positive development.

We also develop and assist our artistic clients with branding and marketing strategies through direct consultation, workshop facilitation, materials development, post-production assistance and helpful ezines.

Collectors, with fine art sensibilities, consult with us for the purpose of building their collections of fine art treasures.

Finally, we actively participate with and support those organizations engaging our legislatures for the purpose of sustaining the viability of public art programs.


Founder and President Donkhote is a self-taught visual artist who, up until 1980, participated in art exhibits at venues such as the Corcoran in Washington, DC and the MUSE in New York City. He quickly developed a greater appreciation and respect for the talent and skill of other fine artists, and so turned instead to collecting fine art. In 1995 he began systematically developing relationships with artists and gallery-owners, later expanding that circle to entrepreneurs and luminaries of the art world.


In 1999, Artndeed was conceived, beginning operations as a reseller/broker of artwork. After partnering with experts in the field, Artndeed began consulting to artists on the business of marketing and branding their artwork. Today, dozens of clients in our portfolio, have progressed through hands on consultation, guidance and support.


Artndeed is now an expanded service resource for artists, collectors, gallery-owners, purveyors, marketers, guilds and advocacy organizations.


For artists, we offer a venue for exhibiting work to a worldwide audience.


With thousands of visitors monthly, we offer artists an opportunity to showcase work and build presence in the global art marketplace, while remaining accessible locally. While our guidance to emerging artists is that, “Internet exposure alone will not sell art.”, the Internet is the 21st century arts catalog.  We advise building brand name recognition and selectively exhibiting via the World Wide Web as a must for the emerging and mid-career artist.


For collectors seeking to acquire/sell on the secondary market, Artndeed offers visibility and access to a broad target market.


Collectors listing with us are added to our preferred services database for use by purchasers worldwide seeking fine art on the secondary market. 


For galleries, we will offer similar services.


In addition, we are building a list galleries by city, providing interested users a directory of premier galleries offering fine art around the country and around the globe. Galleries electing to list with us are added to our preferred gallery database for use in directing principal acquisition and services traffic.


Most of all, Artndeed is assiduously committed to bridging the knowledge and service gap in the fine art world for everyday people who love art and wish to build and/or expand their art immersion lifestyle.


ArtnDeed is a virtual gallery and web resource intended to provide rich content for those who embrace the importance of The Arts in our culture.  It is designed as an open forum, to allow members and visitors to share artwork, ideas and motivations in an easy to use format.


Premium artist sites, useful links, blogs, and services are combined in a compact, inter-active web gallery.  Please take a moment to visit and participate.
