At long last, after nearly two years of dreaming, strategizing, building, and refining, the moment is finally here! We are beyond excited to announce the official launch of Artchway® and artchway.com. Welcome!

What Is Artchway?

Artchway® is a new contemporary art gallery designed with innovation in mind and built for the benefit of collectors, creators, and our community. Through philanthropic efforts and sustainable sourcing, we’re looking at artwork in a whole new way.

We provide collectors a new venue to acquire art with our three unique marketplaces: The Print Gallery, The NFT Portal & The Official Shop. Through these galleries, we are able to give back from the profits of every single print we sell.

Artchway® also provides emerging artists with a platform for their work, showing collectors limited items they can acquire with ease, and offering visitors inspiration from within our collective and community. We’re an art gallery, evolved.

The Trouble with Collecting Artwork

For too long, collectible artwork — and by that I mean museum-quality, limited edition, giclée-grade, premium art — has only been accessible to industry insiders, seasoned art hunters, and the super-rich. What good is that if an average person can’t afford to collect art?

Because of this, if a collector was lucky enough to find a work of art that met all of the criteria of collectability, it usually costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a single acquisition. Possible for some but unattainable for most.

Artchway’s Angle

So, what options are left for casual collectors? You’re rewarded with a choice between low-quality prints or sky-high prices, meaning collectors are left out of the loop and out of luck. Fortunately, that’s a problem with a solution... one we intended to solve.

Artchway® provides a better option, making artwork accessible to collectors, helping artists share their work with the world, and giving back to our communities through a portion of print profits. We’re creatives on a mission.

The HARD REALITY

Most people don’t want to pay $2,500 for a print (or even an original, honestly) just to ensure it’s a high-caliber piece. And they certainly don’t want to waste time and money on substandard art. Even if they were ready to take the plunge, most wouldn’t know who to contact.

The result of all this confusion is a marketplace flooded with low-quality, uninspired work, frustrated artists, and cash-strapped collectors. So, we set out to fix all that, and we believe we finally have. Our galleries put quality, sustainability, and artistry first. And we can’t wait for you to check out our platform.

How We LAUNCH HIGHER

We thought about how we could change the narrative for the better and improve the process of collecting artwork. Our goal was to turn the conventions of old into something new. We saw the bigger picture of what could be built. And in that moment, our mission was born:

1. Make premium artwork accessible to everyone.
2. Provide a platform for artists to share their work.
3. Give back to our communities through print sales.

To achieve these goals, we had to fundamentally change the way we thought about art and venues that held modern art. We wanted collectible works to be found, emerging artists to be seen, and worthy charities to be heard. So, we worked on this for almost two years.

We Found The Hidden Key

The solution we found was to feature innovative and emerging artwork. Artists and creators can feature their work in any of our three galleries. Collectors and buyers can find giclée-quality prints in limited editions for great prices. Art traders and sellers can find a rich vault of exclusive pieces to explore. You can also trade cutting-edge NFTs without even holding any cryptocurrency. (Our NFTs sell in US dollars.)

We made it possible to do all of these things simultaneously, sustainably and affordably, because that is the promise of Artchway®.

Then, behind the form, lies the function. We give back through a portion of our profits to a variety of charitable causes and organizations we love. Most limited edition prints come in collections, and those collections feature “companion causes” which highlight the charity or organization those sales contribute toward. In this way, Artchway® can contribute to a potentially unlimited number of worthy causes.

A LAUNCH INTO PROGRESS

We support local, domestic, and international organizations that work every day to make a difference in their communities. Groups like Three Square, Friends of Red Rock, The Nature Conservancy, International Animal Rescue, and so many others top our list.

We work with dedicated vendors and partners to keep prices down and quality up so all our visitors can experience what it’s like to easily acquire premium collectible artwork. And with every print purchased, we give at least 15% of our net profits back to causes that need it.

To make collectible artwork accessible to everyone meant we had to source the finest materials we could find from eco-friendly sources. It also meant with persistence and careful vetting we could keep our costs low and quality standards high.

This was no easy task and took forming close partnerships and affiliations to achieve. Now, we can pass the benefits of those connections on to collectors through all our unique marketplaces. Visit our three galleries at launch: Print Gallery | NFT Portal | Official Shop
