I am the first to admit I am not an art connoisseur. I mean for real, I know very little about the fine art world.
I simply know the colors I want to incorporate and the feeling I want to get from wall art or wall coverings.
While I feel as though I am a 'creative" I honestly cannot tell a piece of high end art to something that is considered accessible in the world of art. And yes, of course buying local art is definitely a preferred experience, however, there are some major benefits to exploring online digital art retailers. So why should you consider the online digital route for procuring art?
Tons of Selection
Online digital art retailers often showcase a vast and diverse selection of artwork, giving buyers access to a wide range of styles, genres, and artists from around the world.
It's easy to browse from home
hopping for digital art online is incredibly convenient. Buyers can browse and make purchases from the comfort of their homes or on the go, 24/7, eliminating the need for physical gallery visits.
Find more artists, and they can find you
Online platforms make art accessible to a global audience, allowing artists to reach a broader and more diverse clientele. It's an opportunity for emerging and established artists to gain recognition.
It can be more affordable
Digital art can be more affordable than traditional art due to lower production costs. Buyers can often find high-quality digital prints and originals at various price points.
AR and VR Tools to visualize in your space
That's right... some retailers have features that offer interactive features, allowing buyers to visualize how the artwork will look in their own space using augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) tools.
Support for Artists
Online platforms often provide artists with a larger share of the sale compared to traditional galleries, helping artists earn a more substantial income from their work.
Environmental Benefits: Digital art is more environmentally friendly as it reduces the need for physical materials like canvases, paints, and transportation, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.
Drumroll please.... Here are 4 online art retailers that will make you swoon with their collections. They are in no particular order...
