Amazing things Lurdh's made
The traditional art market is predominantly controlled by art galleries, these are always not accessible to upcoming artists and they are often perceived as high-cost, high-end spaces only suited for a few. This leaves artists to have no easy way to sell their arts and gain exposure.
On other hand, finding good quality and affordable unique pieces of art is not always easy. Also, there are no economical options for customers to decorate walls on regular basis.
The good news, Artsmiley addresses these problems. ArtSmiley is a multisided online community that connects both artists and art buyers 24x7, where;
a) Artists can sell and rent their paintings.
b) Art buyers can view, buy or rent their choice of painting.
“In a nutshell, we consider ourselves as Amazon of artworks”.
Our mission is to make art more accessible and affordable to all communities and provide a viable career to artists. Empowering and uplift the lives of artists from economically backward areas is our goal.
