ArtActiveOnline is created and operated by artists who have experience in gallery ownership, picture framing and website development. Artists need information on legal issues, how to approach galleries, present their work professionally, and track inventory. Having been in the art dealer’s shoes, we believe it is helpful to pass on the information we gathered there, and to provide professional resource materials for artists. The idea for this comprehensive information and recordkeeping site was pushed to fruition after we witnessed a friend struggle to get a large-sum payment from a gallery. We learned about legal information and support available for those with troublesome situations, and realized we could collect many bits of information and put them into one place in cyberspace. We hope this site develops into a large community of artists helping each other.
