Assisting artists in making their work available online. Our projects support creativity in the arts.
Eric Law | Fine Art Photographer
Through my work I expose you to a different kind of image. Your experience is with photography that is about something. My photographs invite you to connect with a subject you may not immediately see and challenge you to find meaning in a purely abstract expression.
Candace Law | Visual Artist
My work blends an interest in the decayed industrial age and man-made objects with the abstract—as expressed through drawing (using fluid, organic lines, often of the human figure), found objects, mixed media and encaustic—an ancient hot wax medium.
ShootMyArt | Learning Resources & Media Services
We offer a variety of online courses, webinars, workshops, and other learning resources for artists and artisans, along with professional digital photography and media services for the visual arts. We want you to have great images of your artwork.
LearnEncaustic | Expand Your Art
Encaustic is an ancient form of painting with beeswax and pigment. We conduct workshops for artists at every level who want to expand their artistic expression by learning more about this versatile medium and the many ways it can be used.
FolioDetroit | The Visual and Literary Arts in Michigan
We design and publish books and catalogs featuring the work of established and emerging Michigan artists and writers, as well as organizing and producing curated and juried exhibitions of visual art in the greater-Detroit area.
PortfoliosForArtists | Put Your Artwork Online
Showcase your artwork for galleries and prospective buyers with a professionally designed online portfolio. Our clean, modern websites highlight your work, are easy to navigate, and look great on both mobile devices and desktop screens.
Art : Dialog | Gather With Other Artists
An opportunity for you to gather with other Detroit-area artists to talk about “all things art” and to share your work with other, like-minded artists. The meeting is free and open to anyone interested in connecting with working artists.
Art : Clinic | Hands-On Learning
We offer the occasional half-day hands-on workshop on professional and studio practices of interest to working artists.
Gallery | Art Exhibitions Worth Seeing
We present exhibitions in our gallery of art from artists in the Detroit area and outside it.
We’ve also got several exciting new projects in the works in conjunction with our move to larger quarters last year. The projects include shared studio space for artists working in encaustic and mixed media art, a local retail source for basic encaustic art supplies and equipment, and a studio for the exploration of analog and alternative photographic processes. We’re really excited about the opportunities for artists that our new location will make possible. Connect with us on Facebook and stay up-to-date on all of the news!
