I've had the pleasure of purchasing a work via Art in Res and seeing the platform develop, and I can't wait to watch it continue to grow. Both sides of this market place—artists with serious art practices but no commercial gallery representation, people who love art but can't afford to buy from galleries—will get so much out of being connected to each other.

If you haven't ever lived with art made by people who care deeply about making it, I suggest you set down $30 and try it! You'll be surprised how much it can enrich your life.
