How
to Exhibit & Sell Your Art
Option #5: Significant Private Collector
If you are a private art
collector or a corporation with an art collection, this
option may be for you. The FolkArt.Com™ recognizes
the benefits of exhibiting art from collections like
yours. [Note: Simply having a collection of art does
NOT make this option appropriate for you. If you are
an artist or a trader of art, this option is probably
NOT for you. Artists should refer to Option
#1 or Option
#2.] The purpose of this option is to encourage the
exhibition of art held by private individuals or corporations.
