People need art, it makes them feel good, it stirs emotions and thoughts, you need it for your soul. Thankfully art is everywhere, just look around you and you will see nature itself has created a wealth of beautiful things to see and touch, just look at the sunrise on a clear evening, a spider's web, or a beautiful coastline to mention a few of the stunning things that this world to offer.
Some people are highly gifted at replicating beautiful images of nature, or of providing a deeper interpretation of what they see, and creating this onto paper, wood, metal, stone, and any other medium you can think of. Without these artists life wouldn't be the same. So how do you go about finding an artist?
Well, you might search around your local galleries, or know a good artist through a friend, oryou could ask Google. This inevitably means you have to search endlessly looking for a suitable artist. Once you've found a couple you contact them to see if they're interested in your art project. Maybe they will say yes, but maybe they will say no, which means you're back to the drawing board traipsing around Google once more. All of this has been solved by Commission an Artist.
Commission an Artist is a social enterprise, working for artists and people like you who are looking for artists. Rather than giving you a long list of artists to contact, they do all the work for you. They can recommend a handful of artists from their books who will be able to complete your art project. They contact their artists to see if they are interested, and if not they move onto the next suitable artist. If you look through the site you can view the work of the artists, so if you decide you prefer the style of a few artists then you just say this when you contact them. They are not for profit, which means their aims are for the benefit of the art society, artists, and society as a whole.
