My visionis to provide the best available resources to artists, viewers and buyers online who want to reflect family values in their work and make art that is acceptably viewable to all audiences.

To meet the rising needs of artists online and
to keep costs down so all can afford to be here, we are continuing
to keep levels of Membership at ArtRave to meet every artist's needs~!

Basic Free Memberships are for viewers and artists who wish to sell their art online through use of our ArtRave Categories which was formed from t he clube feature of this software from Ning.

Artists can list their work  into the remarks showing a small picture of their art and details as to how viewers can obtain it.

The new ArtRave Mall is for artists who have other sites they sell their art at, including print prodicts on POD sites such as Fine Art America, RedBubble, Imagekind, Society6 and more. AS popular sites have many artworks to display for sale, viewers can get lost in all the choices available and our purpose is to direct viewers to the artworks maintained by our family friendly membership. This saves viewers alot of time when searching out Art online for their homes, buisnesses or as gifts.

Many of our artists offer their art in the form of cards which can be customized in their shops on sites such as Greeting Card Universe, RedBubble, CafePress and others listed.These cards can  be ordered online and personalized and sent directly to their recipients making it a great way to send a card to a loved one without having to leave the comfort of their home to do so.

We wish to welcome all new members, all aspiring artists as well as veteran artists who share our
vision of presenting only good wholesome art to the world.
All work on this site is pre-approved and "G" rated to be suitable to all viewing audiences and ages.

No nudity, obscene, violent or evil looking art is approved. Only wholesome tasteful non offensive arte found on this site~!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

ARTISTS: You may join as a FREE member and post your art DIRECTLY into our ArtRave Categories - via the comments/remarks section and use the handy  image icon located in the toolbar~

[Comments are free so that is one way you can  post your art here for sale and not have to worry if you are not ready or able to upgrade your membership.]

 

ArtRave Categories is a free classifieds service, to use by all members, both paid and free.

The ArtRaveGallery however  is for upgraded/paid  members to help defray site costs.

 

We have found that for the many artists that do not know how to manage their art efficiently online and neglect to add the needed details in descriptions [which potential buyers need before making decisions] that they don't sell well online.

WE have free online tutorials to show artists how to list their work online for sale.

When  details are incomplete  & editing is left undone, it is a waste of time for any art buyer/viewer  who would then be reluctant to contact an artist to ask for the info, rather they will then look elsewhere to meet their art needs. 

 

Our Forum provides  learning tools  to show how to easily edit, so you can learn to your art online for sale.

 

You as an artist can become well practiced in promoting your own work and the techniques here on ArtRave will work on any site you use,

You can always upgrade later on when you are ready to have an ArtRave Gallery .

 

You can list your art in any of the appropriate ArtRave Categories  that match the sites you belong to, such as Fine Art America, Imagekind, Zazzle & RedBubble and more.

 

You can see by examples, where other artists are listing and selling at, so you can follow the path online to selling your own art at places where other artists have already been obtaining results~!

As a upgraded member, you can be given an Artist ID# to place in front of your name on your profile page and to place in front of all  of your Artwork Titles along with your name, so you will be found in search engines like Google.

This will  also help you to be able to create and maintain an online inventory of your work~!

.

As an ArtRave  Member - you are required to  properly edit all of the pictures you submit using the +Add photo upload tools.
Your artwork when submitting for approval, must be family friendly and contain no form of nudity or sexual content or violence.

Since proper editing is required here to meet viewer expectations, you as a member must present your works already edited or  contact our editors  and you can  pay to have editing services done for you..

We provide Tutorials and How-To-Do's in the Forum to help you and you can always ask questions and will be assisted and directed to the right places to go.

 While looking for a new dotcom name to make our site grow even more in the search engines in the future, I bid on and won the dotcom called "www.ArtRave.com" and now have it linked to AHI~

Be sure to login with the new name and to add it to your tags~ just add: artrave,ahi-fan,"unique art", to all your taglines to place your art into more search options online~! The easier it is for those seeking art to find you, the better your chances for making sales.

 

Also adding prices into your Title line for your original art and posting it into the proper categories and price directories will also help promote and sell your art. Remember the less info you provide, the less likely you are to sell your art, so if you make the effort to post your pictures, complete it by adding a good description and pricing info~!!

 

BOUTIQUES ???? YES !!!!

By utilizing the Clubs/Cagtegories feature of the software used on this site, we can and will collectively continue to build this site into an online Art Mall of Family Friendly Art Stores & sources for those who are looking for family friendly art.

 

This is exciting as it provides you with a 'dotcom' address to show & promote your art online and is open for cross promotions which allows artists like you to link to any art store or shop that they sell at currently as each Boutique is directly promoting your art for sale on all  of your art sites

This is a great aid to artists in showing and selling your art at any of your other sites by providing viewers with a place to go to see more of your art, Opening Individual Art Boutiques, is the first of many steps to become well known and trusted as a serious artist online,




Test  & see how tagging works~!! DID YOU TRY PUTTING YOUR ARTIST ID# INTO GOOGLE SEARCH ?

TRY IT!

Be sure to include your ArtistID# ,"your name", [plus tags like:]"unique art","landscape art","abstract art", "space art", [topic tags that describe your art USE "quotation marks" and ,commas, after each "search term", so 'searchbots' will pick up, read your art and add it to their searches! This is to how to get
advertised ALL OVER the INTERNET!! It Pays to Title & Tag

See our Forums for more details on how-to-do it right~!!....



WHY UNEDITED PHOTOS CAN NOT BE APPROVED~

ARTWORK that is submitted WITHOUT using  your ARTIST ID#'S Your ARTIST NAME & Your Art TITLE written into the Title Bar, is like dumping your art and running~!! No one will see it~!! Its a waste of bandwidth to do this~!!

Take  a moment longer  when  ADDING  your art work ~ load it right prior to submission.

Your Art needs TITLES & TAGS done so  THEY WILL ENTER SEARCH ENGINES so that VIEWERS WILL FIND THEM.

Without titles and tags you will never be found online by anyone seeking to buy your art!!

NEW Members can buy an ID# Please & to start it in your TAGS  on all art submissions~
How is just posting a pic with no info  a waste of time?~

Be sure to Edit your pics when adding them into our advertising comments. I take this entire section & paste it on other websites, blogs etc - so many see it~!! If yours isnt edited right it will not be advertised.



   To get known and sell your art, you need to be proactive in learning how to promote your work. No one does this for you unless you hire advertising companies to do it and they are VERY expensive, so learning to do your own editing will save you alot of money in the long run.

ONLY ART THAT IS EDITED WITH YOUR ARTIST ID# INVENTORY# YOUR NAME & TITLE written into the Title Bar of YOUR Edit Photo, will be approved BY GOOGLE!![ and other search engines]..Keep Your Inventory #'s in Sequence. ..Check Your Gallery to See last # so
you can submit with next numbered sequence ID#+ -01,-02,-03 etc.
[EXAMPLE : AH-001-01,"Ave Hurley","Sunset of Hope"]
