Artavita started as a simple idea: talented artists shouldn't need a gallery relationship to get discovered. Since 2009 we've built a free online gallery where independent artists and small galleries can showcase work, enter juried contests judged by working curators, and win real exhibition opportunities at major art fairs — Artexpo New York, Red Dot Miami, Art Santa Fe, and more.
Today over 12,400 artists across 90 countries use Artavita to build a portfolio, get featured, and connect with collectors and galleries who might never have found them otherwise.
