our mission
At ArtQuiver, we have two complementary beliefs that drive everything we do. We believe that everyone deserves to be surrounded by beautiful, inspiring works of original art. And that the marriage of the traditional art gallery with technology, transparency and the reach of the web makes this possible like never before. Our mission is simple: Deliver an art buying venue that helps people find that perfect piece of original art.
History
ArtQuiver began out of our own personal frustration in finding good original art. Without much middle ground between the opaque, and often elitist, physical gallery and the unregulated, mega sites online, we were left without many options. Other than the occasional piece from an exotic trip abroad, our walls were home to unoriginal, mass produced pieces and a few hand-me-down works from our families.
We wanted to fix the consumer side of the problem. As we launched ArtQuiver, we found that it solved the artist side as well. Long constrained by the status quo of the physical gallery model, artists were producing world class work, without finding a reliable venue to bring it to the public. The market seemed ripe for innovation, if not revolution.
Today, ArtQuiver uses technology and the web to successfully bridge the consumer-artist gap, helping buyers make their own unique artistic statement, while giving artists the worldwide reach they deserve. Viva la revolution!
Technology
You can't get more subjective than the human expression of artistic taste. But that doesn't mean there is no place for technology in art. From our innovative visual search to our zoom features, virtual galleries and dynamically generated pricing histories, you may have noticed we believe in the role technology can play in helping you find your perfect work of original art. Take our feature tour to learn more, or just try out ArtQuiver Search. We think you will be amazed at the results!
