ART2GIFT: ART BUYING 2.0
RaandeskGallery.com Promotes Art as Perfect Gift for Any Occasion
The Raandesk Gallery of Art, a virtual and alternative site gallery of contemporary and emerging art in New York city announces ART2Gift a collection of ‘portable' limited edition, original works of art suitable for gift giving, for any occasion. ART2Gift pieces are now available for viewing and purchase online from Raandesk (http://www.raandeskgallery.com/), along with RaandeskGallery.com gift certificates in denominations to take the guesswork out of giving a work of art to someone special, no matter what the occasion.
Purchasing art for holidays, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, promotions and other special occasions is now easy and affordable with the new ART2Gift program. Gift-givers can introduce a friend or family member to collecting contemporary works of art through ART2Gift, or help add to an existing collection by shopping the online, which includes nearly four dozen unique works by a dozen artists represented by Raandesk. Each showcased piece is an original, framed work signed by the artist, with sizes range from small (4" x 6") to medium (10" x 14"). Typically the gallery showcases work valued up to $10,000; however, ART2Gift collection works are priced between $35 and $500, making them ideal for a single affordable gift, or a great start for the recipient to build their own contemporary art collection.
The ART2Gift selection includes works from artists who already have works in the Raandesk Collection but have prepared each piece specifically for the ART2Gift collection. According to Raandesk Founder/Director Jessica L. Porter, the artists featured in ART2Gift are valued for their fresh takes on contemporary art, following the gallery's penchant for the unique, both in the works it exhibits and the spaces in which they are shown.
"We're excited to launch ART2Gift as an alternative to more traditional kinds of gift giving. Shopping online is nothing new, but with these original works of art, affordably priced at an ideal 'gift' size and available online for viewing anytime, anywhere, we've created ‘Art Buying 2.0' in line with the way people shop and purchase gifts today," added Porter.
The ART2Gift collection includes various styles and types of work, from drawings and paintings, to photographs and small sculptures, from contemporary, abstract imagery and bright colorful works to figurative and representational imagery, offering potential buyers a variety of pieces to choose from when contemplating what to give. To ensure the gift recipient's satisfaction, the gallery even provides a seven-day ‘live with the art' trial period. If the recipient is not 100% satisfied with their piece, Raandesk will refund the cost to the buyer, no questions asked. And the ultimate convenience in giving artwork, RaandeskGallery.com Gift Certificates, available in any denomination, for use online or at a Raandesk Gallery exhibition.
