A couple good reasons...

​

1. WE FOCUS ON DELIVERY

Buying through us, you buy at artists' cost and only pay for our personalized delivery service.  We are not in the business of art shows, or promoting careers.  Others can take take of that.  We simply charge artists a delivery fee which is included in their selling price on our gallery. 

 

Industry note: Physical or online galleries or art agents normally use a percentage markup of 40-60%, meaning you pay as much for the service as you do the artwork.  They have many legitimate expenses, offer art shows, promote careers, etc. and understandably need to cover this some how. 

 

However, delivery costs basically the same in our case.  By just paying for delivery, the more expensive the artwork, the more you as a buyer save!  You are basically buying direct, with us to manage and oversee the entire transaction process!   

​

You as a buyer can now "afford" to buy more, or what you truly want.  And you better - support the artists you enjoy.

2. QUANTITY OF SALES

​Selling direct and only charging for delivery may not sustain a business such as ours long.  So, like many of today's delivery business models, we rely on quantity of sales and repeat customers.  We thank you for your patronage, your business, and your reference to others.

​

Regarding our competition.  There are many factors that can make selling art yourself, or through traditional outlets, costly.  And these are legitimate expenses that just can't be avoided.  We here at CAN support these venues which can also serve as social "hubs" for communities around the world.  The best are often non-profit, supported by taxpayers.  Being artists ourselves (not just entrepreneurs), we have, and will continue to participate and promote these creative venues ourselves (as our non-profit TV show project does every week).  Instead of discouraging competition, we actually encourage our CAN members to continue selling any way helpful to them.
