ArtNeighbor.com - social network for art lovers

May 12, 2009 – 3:01 pm

Blueliner is delighted to announce the launch of ArtNeighbor.com, a social network that offers the art, antique and collectible community a virtual world with seemingly unlimited bounds. ArtNeighbor (AN) is a place where users can register for free and create their own Virtual Galleries, blogs, post events and classifieds and also buy and sell art.

In the past couple months, Blueliner’s web development team has been working very hard to create this social community and marketplace. The task was challenging, but there is nothing team collaboration and determination can’t overcome.

ArtNeighbor’s Marketplace is intended to be a secure platform through which buyers and sellers can transact, allowing them to avoid the exorbitant fees and commissions charged by using other venues. The Marketplace gives buyers five business days after the receipt of an item to return it for a full-refund. In addition to that, sellers get to post an unlimited number of items for a one-time fee od $9.95 (the fee is imposed to validate a seller’s identity) and a four percent fee on sold items.

To create a nice and easy experience for the users, all registered members get their own My Marketplace page where they can track items listed for sale, items they have bought or sold and items they are interested in buying.

Once visitors become members, they also have access to many other interactive features, such as Collections area where they can showcase their art, antiques and collectibles, through the Artalk Blogs members can express their own ideas and gather insight and information from other visitors. The AN Classified gives members the ability to list for free such things as jobs in the arts industry…

The site is trully intended to be a virtual community of artists and collectors, so to make things easier, we have created a Community section where members can search and connect to users with like interests and make new friends.

At the moment, ArtNeighbor.com is launched in public beta, and we are happy to announce that new initiatives and services are already in the works. Live Chat, Groups, Appraisal Center and High-End Items sections are just a few new features the site will have very soon. We are also looking forward for new developments based on client feedback.

ArtNeighbor is also promoting members and their work on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. We encourage you to become our Facebook fan and start following us on Twitter (@ArtNeighbor) and stay informed about latest news and events from the industry, find out interesting art quotes and stats, etc.

We also encourage you to register & try ArtNeighbor and provide us with your opinion about the site. The procedure of becoming registered member is very simple and fast, just go to the registration page and fill out the requested information.
