on-line marketing opportunity
[sponsor the first annual
myartspace.com art competition]

about myartspace.com [the company]

myartspace.com is a fresh new community-based website for young aspiring artists and photographers; more established artists and members of the art world – teachers, collectors, museums, galleries, art buyers.  members can establish their presence in the community, build and display galleries of their works, promote their works and career, participate in dialog, competition and events, and build an online store to sell products.   artists and photographers can create the equivalent of their own personal website, but within the myArtSpace community thus having the benefits of the traffic flow into the community, the advanced design and eCommerce tools, and the low ongoing costs of sustaining that presence.  becoming a member of the community is free, and each person has near unlimited storage capacity to develop their presence.  the online community is supported by both proprietary and user-generated content including blogs, reviews and critiques, forums, happenings/events and eLearning materials.  members are provided with a series of online hosted tools such as contact and event management that are intended to help them raise their awareness level and develop their art/photography career.  special events, such as competitions, are sponsored and featured as a means to drive and sustain engagement by the core membership
