Art & Commerce

The ARTEUR was conceived in an effort to offer support and guidance to artists who choose to create Art in spite of the complexities of modern life, and the dwindling financial opportunities to sustain the work in the face of entrenched media, galleries, and auction houses imbued with gatekeeper roles. 

Aside from the desire to encourage Artists to persevere in creating and sharing work despite daunting obstacles, ARTEUR seeks to define a new concept, the “Artrepreneur,” to foster self-reliance and the confidence to join a new way forward in controlling the destiny of our art futures. 

In pursuit of these goals, we introduce the ARTEUR Manifesto, which we hope may be viewed as more of an encouraging way-forward than a disruptive rejection of the dynamics of Art that brought us to where we stand today. 

There is much to be done and much we can do in celebration of the life-giving force that has chosen, inspired and saved so many of us past, present, and future. 

And so we work.
