SO, for a very Limited Time Period, they are offering a Special Introductory Price for Artists to join. But, that offer Expires on Thursday, January 12th at 8pm!

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
ArtMuse Online Gallery is a groundbreaking, customizable art gallery website, presenting an ever-changing, curated selection of original works, from international artists and collectors, free, on your HDTV.
Designed to replace the din of broadcast television, the bouncing blue box of tv radio, and an especially good alternative to the powered-down, big black box on the wall, you can now transform any space into your own high-end art gallery.
Using patented technology, ArtMuse provides a hip backdrop to your next cocktail or dinner party, and beauty to a quiet evening at home. Businesses will appreciate the sophisticated accompaniment to their public spaces, and restaurants, hotels and bars can create a themed display or showcase local artists.
We can now have great art anywhere there is an HDTV, which today is just about everywhere!
With 20% of galleries having closed their doors, great artwork is collecting dust and our most important cultural resource, our artists, are unable to practice their craft. ArtMuse provides a fresh new way to introduce the world to today's best artists.*
Like any work of art, this project has been a very intense labor of love. Your contribution to ArtMuse is greatly appreciated, and the rewards listed here are just the beginning to the years of enjoyment you and your friends will receive with today's contribution!
*Artist Submittal: We are now accepting applications from professional artists and students in the mediums of oil, acrylic, watercolor, digital, mixed media and photography, as well as from collectors with these works for sale. Please contact us at [email protected] for special 50% off Kickstarter consideration, before this introductory offer ends at 8pm on Thursday, January 12th!
STILL MORE DETAILS:
ArtMuse Online Gallery is a first-of-its kind online art gallery entertainment website, dedicated to presenting the best artwork available today. With large, flat screen HDTV's taking the coveted wall space formerly devoted to art, and the proliferation of flat screen TV's in most public venues around the globe, the time has come to market artwork in a fresh, new way.
TEN REASONS ARTISTS SHOULD JOIN ARTMUSE:
You built an expensive website - now what? Are you entertaining people to get their attention? You should be!
Consider how potential patrons are finding you - or not finding you! Do people currently see your work at home, in the waiting room at the service center, and at their favorite wine bar? How many hits has your site received over the last 12 months? We're offering that missing link.
ArtMuse is a promotional site. Now, like Pandora, ArtMuse is an entertainment site. That is where the similarity ends. We create the desire for the real thing, which cannot be replicated through our service and cannot be purchased anywhere but from you. We are here to introduce your work to the world. We provide immediate and direct access to your site to make the sale.
We are not here to replace your art with it's online digital image - in fact, each of the images is watermarked by us to insure it will not be replicated. This is why viewers will leave our site to go to yours.
We don't saturate the market with 'like' work. Every artist chosen is done with the appreciation for their unique qualities, whether it be the subject matter, medium, geographic location, etc.
ArtMuse IS the social media site. While enjoying your work on the ArtMuse.TV site, viewers can share your work with their friends via Facebook and Twitter immediately. What other online service is going to provide that kind of exposure?
Use your marketing dollars optimally. Are you attending the art fairs again this year? Opening your gallery and serving beverages? Sending out print mailers? Hiring Sales Staff? We will promote ArtMuse.TV via social media, online media sites such as radio websites, entertainment sites, print and online art journals, cultural event programs, etc. at no further cost.
ArtMuse is not trying to replace the gallery. There will always be a need for an in-person showing and we'll always have art professionals doing the great work they do for artists. ArtMuse was created to get the art into the homes, businesses and public spaces so ordinary people, dare we say 'the 99% like us KNOW what we like, KNOW what is available, KNOW the artists whose work hangs on our walls.
We don't collect any commission. We do not exist by individual gallery sales. And we work with both individual artists, artist's reps, and collective galleries representing a number of artists. This works because our artists decide which weblink to use on the ArtMuse Online Gallery site.
Are you trying to get the attention of your favorite gallery or museum? We bet they'll notice you now!
Don't you want to be part of the revolution in art promotion? Over the last seven years, while developing ArtMuse.TV, we've paid close attention to how to build this site - while waiting for technology and the consumer market to catch up with this idea. Now that the internet has become the new entertainment source, and consumers understand the capability of internet entertainment on their large screen TV's, we can launch this. And we'd like some of you to join us.
If you are a professional artist or are currently pursuing a career as an artist in the mediums of print, photography, paint or mixed media, we'd love to hear from you.
FAQ -
Why we don't charge viewer subscription? Most standard software is now free, phone apps are free, online services are free, etc. That is simply how the global consumer market has shifted as technology has proliferated. Things have shifted and we need to shift with them. For example, after getting our Pandora music for free, we were pretty annoyed by having to register on their site and pay even a nominal 99 cents every month. And we know we were not alone. Now that they are free again, we use Pandora 24/7 and promote their service at every turn (like now). We feel strongly that in order to become viable, we cannot ask viewers for a fee if we want this model to gain steam.
Will this project complete if not successfully funded by Kickstarter? Absolutely! We used Kickstarter to get attention and it's working. And we've just put in a 'reward' for qualified artists to pay their discounted setup fee here, to push that figure closer to our quota. We should have thought of that one a little earlier in the campaign!
Are there any other costs associated with being part of ArtMuse? Yes, there is a monthly membership fee which ranges from $15 to $30 per month, depending on the number of images an artist is showing, with a max number of images at 20.
What does membership cover?
1. All promotional costs associated with placement in online and print magazines.
2. Individual PR outreach to public venues in the US and abroad
3. Representation at Art Basel in Miami.
4. Representation at major art fairs throughout the US
5. Online Advertising on internet radio and cultural arts sites.
6. All the promotion that you could do for yourself if you had the time and the resources... and if you were a PR professional who'd built up the relationships to make this go viral!
