Lour Dallem pitches ArtSmiley, an online art marketplace where artists can sell or rent work and buyers can do the same. The platform takes a 35% commission and uses blockchain to authenticate pieces, positioning itself as the Amazon of art.
Hello, I'm Lour Dallem, CEO of ArtSmiley. The traditional art market is predominantly controlled by art galleries, which are always not accessible to upcoming artists. They are often perceived as high-cost, high-end spaces only suited for few. As this leaves emerging artists has no easy way to sell their paintings and gain exposure. On the other hand, finding good quality and affordable pieces of art is not always easy. Also, there are no economic options for those customers who want to decorate their walls on a regular basis. Good news! ArtSmiley addresses these problems. ArtSmiley is a multi-sided online community that connects both artists and art buyers together in one platform where artists can sell and rent their paintings. Buyers can view, rent, or buy the painting of their choice from a large collection. In a nutshell, we consider ourselves as Amazon of artworks. ArtSmiley's rental option and blockchain technology to authenticate artworks makes us unique and ahead— put us ahead of our competition. We make our money by taking 35% commission on every transaction. Thank you.
