What You Can Do on artCloud

Welcome to artCloud. artCloud was founded to bring the benefits of online social networking to the art world.

So here’s how artCloud can help you follow the art and art world activities that interest you:

• Present your work to the world
• Explore and discover art that interests you
• Look at pictures, videos, and listen to audio
• Use our lightboxes to collect images and share them with friends and colleagues for collaboration and fun
• Find art events, add them to your personal calendars, and invite friends to join you
• Create interest groups to share information and present work to the world
• And find art-world jobs and services

It’s Free To Join

Anyone with a valid email address can join artCloud, and it’s free. Once you join artCloud, you can take full advantage of its easy tools. The social benefit to the art world that artCloud presents is vast, as artists share work with others; curators collaborate; dealers and collectors view new work from around the world; institutions tell the world about their exhibitions and offerings; and art-world professionals tell others about their services and find work.
