Since its beginnings in late 1999, the mission of Artspan has been to serve the visual arts community: both contemporary artists looking to create and consumers looking to purchase original contemporary art, contemporary art prints, art photography, and more.

Artspan provides its fine artist members with easy-to-update, low-cost, elegant, artist website templates. These fully customizable websites enable members to put their art online in minutes. These full member sites, along with the associate member sites, benefit from the top search engine rankings and resulting high volume of traffic artspan.com receives every day. This means more people will view your art — every day.

Visitors use Artspan's fine art search functions or artist directories to find art of interest to them. Whether they are looking for abstract paintings, landscape paintings, or still life art, art photography, sculpture, ceramics, or other works of fine art, they will be found at artspan.com.

Search for artwork by genre, medium, style, region, or keyword with our advanced search functions. Or browse our many distinct directories — regional (state or country), category (and subcategory), or alphabetical. Explore the extraordinary variety of contemporary art found on our network of thousands of artist websites. We invite you also to participate in the art Forum and to take a look at the Articles section as well as the Calendar.

The year 2008 saw dynamic growth at Artspan as we have ramped up our portals to include Printmaking, Metal Arts, Wood Arts, Art in New York, Black and White Photography, Mosaics, and many more. These portals continue to serve as introductions to the different categories of artistic expression, giving each a distinct destination. They feature news and exhibits and also incorporate alphabetical directories of the members whose work corresponds to that particular portal. We invite all who are interested in contemporary art to visit us frequently and, to follow our continuing evolution. Any thoughts, questions, or suggestions are most welcome. Contact us here
