Independent Artist DayTM on April 3 was created by the online art marketplace Minted to recognise the contributions of independent artists to the art community and promote their work to millions of people worldwide. Today is the day to appreciate artists and the role of art in the social, economic, and cultural spheres, whether you are a graphic designer, painter, first-timer, or a connoisseur of contemporary art.
Minted is an online arts and design marketplace showcasing one-of-a-kind artwork by independent artists from all 50 states and over 100 countries, where artists can express their creativity and art enthusiasts can discover talent they won’t find elsewhere. In honour of their 15th anniversary, Minted invites you to participate in their inaugural Minted Independent Artist DayTM. Additionally, you can submit your work for a chance to win one of Minted’s design challenges. Minted brings the artistic vision of artists to physical products.
Independent Artists DayTM
Frequently, the finest works of art are those that have not yet been discovered or recognised. While many artists experience good fortune, others struggle to present their work to the appropriate audience. Then there are art enthusiasts who seek out works that reflect their personal aesthetic. Minted comprehends the requirements of both artists and art enthusiasts, bringing them together on their platform.
Mariam Naficy firmly believes that great art can be found anywhere. This is the beginning of Minted’s brand history. Naficy was surrounded by extraordinary art from an early age, which she discovered during her travels. She also believed that the internet was a wonderful way for talented people around the world to realise their full potential and make their art accessible to the appropriate audience. In 2007, she founded Minted, which grew rapidly to become the market leader in arts and design. Today, more than seventy-five million households are adorned with artwork discovered on the platform.
The best aspect of Minted is that it empowers not only the artists but also the customers. Artists and purchasers vote on featured designs using its crowdsourcing technology and Design Challenges. This ensures that Minted’s winning designs reflect the most current global trends. Buyers obtain the newest and most exclusive designs, while independent artists achieve breakthroughs. Win-win for everyone!
Minted’s raison d’être is art: discovering, promoting, and most importantly, supporting artistic expression. Minted has instituted Independent Artist DayTM on April 3 to commemorate 15 years of art appreciation.
