ArtFloor  www.artfloor.caArtWise
by participating artist: Catherine Gutsche

Every artist continues to experiment with different media, new subjects and new painting styles. It is projects like this that give life to creative ideas, new journeys in art and make the world of painting exciting. My newest endeavour is my participation in the ArtFloor project.

Canadiana ArtFloor is the brainchild of Jesse Lance, a Canadian entrepreneur who is embellishing his wide plank portable ArtFloor concept as a visual feature in Cocoon Rooms and Great Rooms with the use of original works of art to creatively and beautifully define gathering spaces and meeting places. Each large format artwork is painted on canvas-clad solid substrate or exotic wood veneers and beautifully framed and finished with multiple-coats of 'diamond-tough' flooring resin for lasting (heirloom) value and durability in the residential, institutional, corporate and hospitality environs..

For details on my latest project and where you can see some of my work ... contact Jesse Lance.

PROLOGUE

"All worthwhile ventures revolutionize conventional thinking and displace traditional systems"

 

 ArtFloor.ca thrives on risk and rewards ... an 'attitude' that extends to our clients!

As a new and promising venture, we know there will be artists who are early-adopters, others who are resisters and, of course, others who are detractors or non-adopters ... as with any group or profession, success thrives on energy, commitment and collaboration.

An entrepreneurial attitude is a prerequisite for productive collaboration and a fruitful working relationship for our art- and sales and leasing-oriented company. ArtFloor.ca works with Artists whose works form part of our Consignitorial Inventory ... ArtFloor.ca does not engage people who are not passionate about working in an entrepreneurial environment. Our approach requires limited and manageable risk but, it is essential for the success of our venture and it is a ''methodology' shared (and expected) by our clients.

Participating Artists limit their risk by creating only one, two or three works ... one-third of our Participating Artists, thus far, have completed three pieces, one-third have done two and one-third are working on one piece. Consignors are proving their artistic design function within the parameters of our requirements. Consignors Work(s) become part of our presentation and inventory.

Participating Artists are those anxious to explore this "Grand Canvas Format" and open to opportunities within a vast new market. By doing so, artists foresee earning greater personal and financial rewards than those offered by traditional, conventional and cloistered art 'markets'.

Enjoy "no-hassle artistic moments" by concentrating on your art and experimentation ....
How do you participate as an ArtFloor & ArtTable Artist?

3) You paint your style, set your timeframe and set your "Consignor/Wholesale Monetary Value" for each work.
4) You limit your 'risk' to one, two or three entrepreneurial works.
5) When your work is sold, you are paid in full.

As a Consignor and/or Artist-for-Hire, you are not required to sign Art Works.
You enjoy "no-hassle artistic moments" by concentrating on your art ....
You open a vast new "Wall-Less Market", earn 'seniority' and, leave the marketplace, to us"!

Stage II: ArtIST-FOR-HIRE

2) ArtFloor and ArtTable Artists place a nominal deposit on an Artfloor Panel or ArtTable top.
3) When the work is complete to our mutual satisfaction, your deposit is
returned (in full) plus you are paid ~ 50% of the (wholesale) price.

The Brilliance of ArtFloor

The Brilliance of ArtFloor is its ability to launch new, emerging and 'established' artists — of all cultures — onto the World Stage without risk or hardship ... "a-dream-come-true" for emerging and established Artists!  It is a definite advantage for our Clients to simplify the lease or purchase of Art whereby, ArtFloor's value does not hinge on the reputation or accessibility of the artist nor, who owns the original work nor, on how many 'editions', 'prints' or 'spin-offs' are produced. ArtFloor, by design, does not hinge the value of Art Works based on the reputation or accessibility of the artist ... Canadiana ArtFloor and Canadiana ArtTable owns the original "work-for-hire" including Copyright. By nature of use as an Artfloor/ArtTable, no multiple 'editions', 'prints' or 'spin-offs' are ever produced. ArtFloor "fits right in", it is Grass Roots Social Art that raises an Artist "above artistic restrictions and the restraints of a limited wall-oriented Art Market", to perhaps, prominence on the World Stage.

Artfloor is a new platform for Art &Design and a new platform for fundraising ... 'charitable sponsorships' and 'cultural competitions' will increase awareness and appreciation for Art Expression. Effectively, ArtFloor is on a mission to entrust our Legacy of Conceptual Design whereby Artworks created for ArtFloor by emerging and established Canadian Artists will compete in joyous gratification — in aid of charitable and social causes — with Artists and Art Wannabees of diverse cultures participating.  Kindly consider ArtFloor mindful of the tradition of passionate and authentic art with the emphasis on depth of expression, heirloom quality, functionality and intrinsic value ... a Rare Find ... one-of-one (1/1) yet, surprisingly affordable and available worldwide through 'local' franchisees.

Get excited about painting 'large-format' ArtFloor and ArtTable (tops) ...
You need only supply Acrylic Material, your time and Experimental Imagination.
