Art Gone Global

Many artists now realize that they do not have to limit themselves to a local market to sell their work.  The Internet opens the door to much wider exposure and opportunities to connect with collectors on a global basis.  This blog is intended to  provide readers with inspiration and information to help them leverage the power of the Internet to achieve their goals.  Thanks for being here.

Allen Class is an artist, speaker, researcher and writer.  He has been involved with the Internet from the beginning.  He worked for IBM Canada for 30 years where he created their corporate website and managed it for the first 2 years.  He later developed online simulators to develop leadership skills, and implemented collaborative learning spaces for leadership training.  He is President of the Markham Group of Artists.  His popular presentation, Art and the Internet, has been delivered to every major art organization in the GTA.  His latest presentation,  Marketing Art Online is rich with real-life examples of artists who market their art globally and the approaches they have taken.
