ArtContempo is an artist marketing co-op. We provide independent artists a web presence and a clear marketing strategy to promote themselves as professional artists both within their local community and online to the global community.

Your potential clients' first impression of you should be both talented AND professional. A strong first impression can leave you in the running when clients are obtaining estimates. Put yourself in the mind of a client, what would you look for when hiring someone? In today's market, many consumers research online before ever making a telephone call. ArtContempo provides a platform for prospective clients to research your portfolio and references.

We've partnered with a professional website design company and internet marketing and SEO experts to help us create an online presence and capture a share of the multi-billion dollar internet sales that occur every year online.

As a co-op, we keep costs down for you and you share in the referrals for artistic services plus you have the opportunity to retail products via our website. When ArtContempo receives a lead for artistic work, we put the lead out to our artists. For example, if we receive a lead for a portrait artist, we offer the lead to the artist within that community who specializes in portraits, if it's a mural job in Jacksonville, Florida, we refer the lead to a muralist in the Jacksonville area, and so on.

We provide you with a website address to aid you in your own marketing efforts. People today expect to be able to visit you online, peruse your work, shop for themselves or others, all in the comfort of their own home or office. Most artists, while extremely talented, don't have a business card, let alone a professionally designed website. Does this sound like you? If so, we want to help you change that. At prices even a starving artist can afford, we'll get you online and in style. You'll be proud to offer up a domain name (ArtContempo.com/yourname) and you will automatically lift your business to a new, more professional level.
