Some great art can be found in many places
a downtown gallery, behind the podium of a big city auction house or in the shadow of a dealer's private portfolio. These works have passed through many hands, their values predetermined and stamped by the marketplace. Undiscovered treasures they are not.
The student art showcased on DISCOVER AN ARTIST is some of the "purest" work of fine art to be found anywhere. You will find pieces that will stand alone against some of the finest work the market has to offer. In other cases you will be forced to look beyond the raw gifts and bold artist strokes and toward the unrefined potential of a young artist ten or more years away from their prime.
Whether you are a patron of the arts simply willing to take a chance on an untested talent or a seasoned collector with an eye toward "investment grade" potential, we believe you will find what you may be looking for in the DISCOVER AN ARTIST galleries.
We urge you to contact these artists and communicate your interest in their work. Even if you're not writing to make an offer, these young artists will surely appreciate a few words of encouragement.
Please visit DISCOVER AN ARTIST often. New student artist galleries are opening nearly every day.
