Thank you Graemek

Feel free to post and other Art Competitions, I think
it may be useful for our members, although this one is quite
expensive. But when we start our site artsforsale.info there
will have a possibility our members to present and sell their works
and the service is going to be free.

I hope Cary and Neo_art will finish it soon.

The shop is already done, but we are still test it
(we have some minor problems with the shopping software)
and have to redesign the site.

The idea about artsforsale.info is different. You're thinking
of shopping mall, where each artist will have his own
art shop incorporated in one "big" shop. Hope you understand me.
The main software allows to create a new artshop with few mouse clicks.
You don't have to have special knowledge, but you must have your own
paypal (or other) payment account. This way you will receive the money
directly from the buyers.

We will take care for popularity, support and development of the
site.

Ps.: Maybe I'll ask you to test it (if you have a time). Just to note, that
the software is in a test period, so if it doesn't work well the main idea
can be changed.



About the commission shop ... Art shop of this sort is planned to be made
in worldgalleries.info. Each site has own visitors auditory, so it's good
to present your works on many possible sites (especially if it's free).

Of course for ARTTRADE.Net Members it is going to be free, but will cost you
definite number of your Credits (posts).

Thank you!!! We rely on your help indeed!
Would be wonderfully if you can share your ideas here, in forums.
I can't promise, that we will be able to realize all ideas, but we have to try.
