Sell Yourself--The Moral and Ethical Way

    Have you ever thought about showing your artwork at a gallery, hoping that one of your original pieces would sell? I know I certainly have—countless times! Well let it be known that on July 24th, On Campus Creations, an internet-based company, officially launched their website, www.oncampuscreations.com. This online gallery or "e-gallery," allows student artists to post their work for sale. The site, as described in the company’s press release, "offers an innovative, user-friendly way for art enthusiasts, collectors, alumni and designers to discover and purchase original works of art online."
    On Campus Creations promotes the advancement of art and art education by allowing student artists to post their work, name their own asking price and receive an offer from potential buyers. Joe Wiesner, founder and president of On Campus Creations, states, "It is our goal to establish a robust link between the artists, school alumni, gallery owners, art collectors and enthusiasts, friends of the artists and their schools. We believe that OnCampusCreations.com is the tool to do this." The company donates 27 percent of its commission to the artist's school in support of its art program and does not charge students a shipping or packaging fee.
Penn State University art student, Anna Handy sold off two of her paintings with a $1,300 to $1,700 price range. Anna received an offer for her full asking price and as a result, On Campus Creations donated $325 to Penn State University for her sale. Handy sold five 4 by 6-foot oil paintings. When interviewed for the press release, Anna stated, "My pieces are very large. I thought this would be a deterrent to selling them. But it wasn't."
