New Website for Art Collectors to Sell Directly Launches this Week

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 3, 2011 -- New York, NY, March 3, 2011 - Ten Paces Media LLC, a well-known transmedia production company, has announced the launch on March 3rd of www.welcometocompany.com during New York’s upcoming week of art fairs.

Welcome To COMPANY creates an online community and secondary market for collectors of works by emerging artists to discuss, discover, buy and sell artworks from their own collections. According to several art advisors, it is the first peer-to-peer website of its kind whose byline is - For Collectors by Collectors.

“The genesis of Welcome To Company is a glaring need to help passionate collectors evolve their interests in Emerging Art while editing their collections in a completely transparent fashion. The days of backroom dealings and blacklists are over,” according to founder CJ Follini.

Several sites exist aimed at galleries and art trade professionals, but online research has shown that no other secondary art market site caters solely to the private collector of Emerging Art. Ten Paces Media explains that Welcome To Company not only provides a market venue, but also offers basic necessities such as: payment fulfillment, third party appraisal, shipping and storage, unseen as in similar online art companies. According to executives at the company, no sales commissions will be charged.

Mr. Follini continues: “We are more than a venue; we are a community and a discovery pathway leading to young artists through engaging content and an anything goes discussion around our Campfire.”

The site will also offer video and resources helpful to the collector like artist interviews; studio visits; art opening listings with Editor’s Picks; links to websites of emerging artists; and art-related social events.

Welcome To Company will feature up and coming artists like; Trong Nguyen from Bravo's reality show, "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist", Elizabeth Huey, Lars Arrhenius, Matthias Koster and others.

Welcome To Company plans to add more features to its website by the end of this year.
