There has been a lot of conspicuous changes around the global art market over the years. Today, art works can now be purchased with a few clicks over the internet. Most buyers and sellers leverage on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and the likes.
After giving it a close look, I have found out that the World Art Industry is estimated to be worth over a humongous $2 trillion USD. This reflects the monetary value that floats around art. The year 2018 alone saw a whooping sum of $67.4 billion USD made from sales of art works globally and there are reliable projections that this will keep increasing if some major reforms are implemented within the art world.
With the emergence of the internet, there has been a shift towards utilizing the internet in making art sales and closing deals because of the numerous advantages that come with its use like comfortability and convenience, breaking national boundaries, international exposure amongst others. In 2017, $5.4 billion USD was realized from online sales of art. I strongly believe that if issues that surround online sales like trust, traceability, authenticity, art provenance are handled squarely, sales will increase magnificently and the global art industry will prosper.
Recently, I stumbled on ArtPro an online ecosystem designed on the blockchain architecture to bring artists and buyers closer. ArtPro is creating a safe and reliable online market where buyers and sellers of art works can meet and exchange value with little or no difficulty. I found out that ArtPro is poised to achieve this through its website and decentralized application which will also provide rich information and other necessary resources for art enthusiasts.
I love the fact that ArtPro intends to democratize the global art space, while aiming at digitalizing art. This is one revolution that has been missen for some time now within the sector.
Investors and other stakeholders will access basic information to help them in evaluating and purchasing art works so that proper value gets exchanged, leading to satisfaction on both the side of the seller and the buyer.
I will say it is amazing that ArtPro platform has its own native token called the APT. The token will be used in making purchases of art works within the ArtPro marketplace. It will be a stable medium of exchange for buyers and sellers.
It is interesting to note that ArtPro encourages developers to design dApps on the ArtPro protocol with a reward mechanism specially for outstanding developers. This is an outstanding feature as it will serve as a motivating force that will stimulate them to put in their best and bring out creative innovations.
One other exciting feature I discovered about ArtPro is it has an online gallery for everyone to have a sneak peak into its collection of art pieces. Viewers get the chance to also learn about each piece and its creator. The works can be purchased either in fiat or using APT tokens. Every art work in the gallery has an authentic proof of provenance encrypted in the blockchain. This will ensure that it is neither changed, modified nor destroyed.
In conclusion, I'm calling every artist, art investor, gallery and other art enthusiasts to join in and become a part of this innovative platform that is bound to cause a paradigm shift within the art sector at a global scale.
