Introduction

Internet has revolutionized businesses and made trade easy for everyone. Online counterparts of many businesses have gained popularity in the recent times. The trend of purchasing art through online art galleries has witnessed critical acclaim because of its user friendly and convenient nature.

Traditional Art Galleries.

Traditional art galleries made of brick and mortar hold exhibitions from time to time. Art enthusiasts and collectors are known to travel to art galleries in foreign countries to catch a glimpse of their favorite piece of art. In India, art galleries were made popular by the British in the early 1900s. Since then a whole bunch of art galleries have opened across the nation for art aficionados, both domestic and international, to indulge in selling-purchasing of art.

Drawbacks of Traditional Art Galleries.

If more than one art gallery or exhibition is being held in the city, you cannot attend them all because of obvious time constrains and commitment issues. For a layman it is easy to get confused as there is no proper provision to give instructions or guidance to understand the art pieces.

Art Gallery Online

Online art galleries are web portals where art is displayed and provided for the purpose of selling and auctions. Just like traditional art galleries one can view, admire and purchase his favorite piece of art virtually on web galleries. Art galleries online are known for being user friendly and convenient.

Online Art and Paintings

Online art galleries contain extensive collections of art pieces, sculptures, relics, caricatures, paintings, sketches etc. made by many famous, renowned artists as well as by upcoming, young and budding artists. Selling and purchasing of art is quite easy as compared to that in a traditional art gallery.

Benefits of Art Gallery Online.

• Web galleries can be accessed from anywhere and anytime. If you are an art collector based in India you can purchase art from an America based gallery without travelling to America. You can contact the artists directly as many web galleries provide ample details about the artists along with the information about the paintings.

• You get the benefit of purchasing art and have it delivered at your doorsteps for free. Most online art galleries don’t charge shipping and handling charges to their customers. For customers it is an excellent option as it cut downs on the hassle of carrying bulky paintings with them.

Encouragement for Budding Artists

Online art galleries have encouraged the budding artists and made spotting of talent easy. They get their paintings and work displayed among the works of famous and veteran artists. They also get good money by selling art online through web galleries.
