New arts and crafts guide and marketplace
The following paragraph is excerpted from the press release on PRWeb:
Announcing the Launch of the Most Comprehensive Online Guide and Marketplace for American Arts and Crafts
The new venture, AmericaCreates.com,
AmericaCreates.com, offers electronic storefronts for independent artists while also inviting consumers to explore the artist experience and learn about upcoming creative events and associations in their communities. In addition to selling excellent quality American artwork and fine crafts, America Creates includes easy-to-search databases making it possible for visitors to simply find local exhibitions, classes, artist cooperatives, art schools, guilds and gallery openings, and learn more about specific art techniques.
Later in the press-release, it says, “U.S.-based artists and fine craftspeople – along with guilds, co-ops, art schools, community art centers, museums and galleries- are invited to join the community at no charge.”
Sharon Sinclair, one of the founders, says, “We understand the difficulty many artists experience in marketing their own merchandise. The energy it takes to do this well often leaves little time for their craft. Many have little budget or time to create a Web presence, yet consumers are in search of one-of-a-kind objects with a personal story. America Creates was designed to bring people together and help creativity flourish.”
