ArtistBe.com to the rescue as COVID-19 halts traditional art commerce

Wichita, Kansas – October 12th, 2020 – Artists all over the world are becoming creative in a whole new way as art fairs, exhibitions and workshops are indefinitely put on hold, requiring new ideas for showcasing and selling art. Impressive supply and demand statistics from ArtistBe.com suggest the art world may well be pandemic-proof. 

Artist Become (ArtistBe.com) – a platform for emerging and established artists – is now the solution for much of the artistic community as the more traditional methods of showcasing and selling art are unavailable. The platform has recorded a 400% increase in new art uploads and sales have doubled since the pandemic took hold in March of 2020. 

Currently, the site hosts the works of more than 2,500 artists from 30 different countries. The format is simple and highly effective: unique artworks are uploaded to the site, and reproduced by ArtistBe.com for sale. Artists then receive a commission for every piece sold. 

VP of eCommerce for ArtistBe.com, Amitai Sasson said the initial intention of the site was to offer its art-loving customers a contemporary variety of art. Discovering that the platform was improving the livelihood of emerging and established artists’ careers during COVID-19 was gratifying. 

“Artist Become is invested in supporting new talent and established artists with a simple, no-fuss structure that rewards them financially while providing unparalleled exposure for their works. The skyrocketing uploads of new art on our site means artists are looking for places to showcase and sell their art. Once the art is on our site and ready to be sold, it becomes available to our hundreds of thousands of customers. That’s when artists can truly see the value of their creations. 

“We’re seeing fantastically creative pieces come out of this pandemic and are delighted to facilitate the community of artists. We act as a fair conduit between artists and the online market as many of the more traditional options will not be operational for some time,” said Sasson. 

Artist Become prides itself on a win-win model that compensates artists fairly for their creations and provides exposure to a global network of art buyers. The company is a subsidiary of overstockArt.com, the most popular online art gallery in the United States for oil painting reproductions.
