Online Art Gallery #262 — And Now Our Art Is For Sale!

You asked for it.

Now you’ve got it!

In the 5 years since we started our online art gallery — in the first month of the pandemic, so artists could share their work, and “06880” readers would feel less isolated — many have wondered if they could any works were for sale.

Starting today, they are.

Artists who wish to sell their pieces will let me know. I’ll add a link to the caption. Clicking the link brings up an email to the artist. Potential buyers can arrange the purchase — price, original or print, framed or unframed, shipping or pickup, etc. — directly with the artist.

It’s that simple!

Of course, artists can also send buyers info on their other work.

Artists will give “06880” a 25% commission. It’s a win-win-win: for our online gallery artists, our readers, and us. Happy shopping!
