Art Swap for Handicrafts
By Swap Art in Swaps
The Swap Art website that we will launch will allow swapping for all types of arts. This way you will be able to swap a painting with a pair of nice earrings, your handmade journal with a hand knitted scarf, or with a small sculpture, etc. Or why not your paintings with some other paintings from your favorite artists. It’s a nice way to collect original art work, to meet people who have the same hobby as you do and to have fun :)

It’s like your own studio or Gallery is available to anyone on this earth with an internet connection who can see you and your work. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, the fact is that a lot of artists stop at the point of creating a personal website, and expect everything else to come along.
