We wrapped up Phase One of our art business as we moved out of our Hickox St. location after a five-year brick-and-mortar run of exciting art exhibitions, political and environmental fundraisers, popular community events and diverse music performances. Due to the pandemic, we’re on hold with our new platform, which we’ve been envisioning and researching for some time, intended to yoke art to activism more concretely. The plan is a fresh one, and when we are able to open a new office, we believe this can be a vibrant business model. Each artist we represent on-line will donate a percentage of proceeds to his or her chosen cause. We will work closely with each artist to curate images and create a product line of high-quality reproductions (prints, posters, canvas wraps, clothing and more). Now folks who want to support an artist can get involved without having to buy an expensive original. This is a model in line with the principles of B-Corporations, companies engaging in business for good.We had hoped to roll out artists and their product lines in a gradual process throughout 2020 and 2021, but clearly that’s delayed. This idea represents an exciting way for artists to find new viewers, and socially conscious shoppers to find what they’re looking for. As far as we know, we are the first art dealers to conceive of this approach.
