Latest online art gallery brings together emerging artists from Australia and Asia

Buying art online is a trend that seems to be gaining traction, and when the prices are affordable, the art original and the artists mid-career and emerging, it is the perfect place for collectors to buy.

Started in 2012, allnewArt’s mission is to bring together the two regions of Australia and Asia, through the selling of quality and original artworks.

“Our website provides a fantastic platform not only for emerging talent to gain a wider national audience, but for our customers to discover and buy art from Asia and Australia that is fresh, new and exciting,” says founder Sean Woon. “We can help you avoid those generic, mass produced pieces that adorn so many hotel walls and large retailers.”

Offering 400 original artworks, allnewArt is completely free to use, allowing you to discover and purchase contemporary artists’ work, as well as exciting pieces by painters and photographers, with ease. You can either browse the range to discover something new, or use particular categories if you have a specific style in mind.

allnewArt will soon be commencing a regular pop-up gallery and are currently developing a new site, which will offer art commissioning services by almost all of their artists.

Online art gallery featuring over 1,000 artists

Buying art is hard. Believe me, I know. For my 21^st present, my Mum and I went on the hunt for an original artwork. I’m now 22 and still have no art, so let’s just say it wasn’t too successful. I was therefore very happy to stumble upon the Bluethumb Online Art Gallery.

A self-funded Adelaide start-up, Bluethumb makes buying and selling art easy, hosting and promoting an online community where artists can directly display and sell their works. Customers can now buy straight from the artist and no longer need to trawl traditional bricks-and-mortar stores and galleries.

Even more importantly, the public can now support emerging artists, who through this online avenue are more likely to build a career selling their art. “I sell online because it reaches a wider audience, both in Australia and overseas,” says acrylics and mixed media artist Wendy Eriksson. “Different people get to see my work and it’s a non-threatening environment. Selling online also makes my art more affordable. I do not frame so freighting artworks is easy and inexpensive. Selling online definitely boosts my income.”

Gaining momentum exponentially, a week ago Bluethumb listed its 1,000^th Australian artist and the gallery is currently on track to sell $200,000 worth of art for the second year in a row.
