This is pretty much the same principal I’ve been operating on as an artist. I’ve come to prefer to making smaller semi-production line style pieces in small editions, that sell for $5 a piece instead of hundreds, and it’s probably one of the few things keeping me afloat at the moment. The one gallery I keep my stuff in on a constant basis has developed a “wall space for rent” process instead of the usual commission based model that encourages it from their artists too.

I’ve found the gallery’s program to be very refreshing and the group of artists represented suit all tastes and price ranges, which is tough especially in this economy. Jessica helps and encourages all levels of art collectors to build and expand their collections. Looking forward to the upcoming show, and happy to see that the gallery is getting the press it deserves!

I’ve purchased a number of works from this gallery, some of which were through the art2gift program. Jessica has a great eye and is wonderful to work with. I’m happy to hear she has come up with ways to hang in there in this economy!

Half of my house is decorated with a variety of works from the ART2Gift gallery. I love being able to browse the affordable selections at home, work or through my phone. With my limited knowledge of art and experience collecting, this gallery offers many pieces that anyone would be comfortable purchasing. Not to mention, my place is now decorated with something other than “vintage” French wine ads from Big Chain USA.

Art2Gift was perfect last year — I used it to give gifts that were unique (for a change). Looking forward to more consultations with Jessica.
