The selection of work seems pretty high quality, but I'm curious - how does the artist/art selection process work?
I come from a fine arts background and have always had issues with the contemporary art scene for it's artist to curator/gallery process. In general, social status and popularity seem to be the main currency for getting great art visible to the public.
I would love to see a service like this that enables more "undiscovered" high quality work to be shown, and for more unrecognized artists to get paid for what they love, but at the same time opening it up too all work could lower the overall quality of the available work.
Curation is hard - what system do you have in place for it?
Very good question. A quite tough challenge but probably not impossible.
IMO, bad curation is something that is very apparent on sites like Etsy and Redbubble. So I do believe itβs worth it to try to find a good system for it.
