Artists - A chance to get your work seen in a gallery.

Traditionally, artists submit photos of their work to galleries, who act as gatekeepers. The gallery decides which works they will show and which ones they pass on.

KounterKulture, an online gallery based on the concepts of Web 2.0, is looking to change that process.

Believe it or not, there are still artists out there who do not have an email account; it’s strange but true! 15 years ago this was the norm, but times are a-changing more quickly than ever, and with the KounterKulture focus falling firmly in the realms of brand-new and innovative technologies, we'll be the first ones to encourage anyone and everyone, especially all the budding artist out there, to get online! The internet's a big place, and an indispensible tool for getting your name out there and generating interest in your work! Don't you want to show it to the world!

Being able to document your own artwork is essential as an artist. There are two reasons why you want to create pictures of your own art: One, is to generate interest in seeing the actual work if you people can not see it in person, nine times out of ten you will not have the opportunity to show your original work; the other is with websites like KounterKulture it is possible to see every detail of the work so that collectors do not have to see the work in person. This last aspect will save everyone time and money which can only help you with sales.

When the idea for KounterKulture was first conceived, the driving idea was to replace the traditional gallery experience. A key part of that vision is to allow access into the artists’ studio.
