- A phenomenon is breathing a breath of fresh air into the artworld of stuffy galleries and snobbish art dealers: artists that are taking matters into their own hands to create a marketplace that works FOR them, not against them, by changing the way they create and the way they connect their artwork with buyers.
One of those connectors is ArtByUs.com, where buyers connect directly with the artists to purchase real art, not cheap machine made prints or sweatshop productions from far east.
Maria Fuente of USAToday has written an article, explaining the basis and idea behind the artists new found freedom.
