Purchase Awards: ACA Sells Your Artwork!

The countdown is on! There are only 9 days left to ENTER ACA!

Do you dream of selling your art to corporate and private collectors? Art Comes Alive makes that happen!

There are so many facets that make ACA a one-of-a-kind event from the incredible artwork to our fantastic jurors, but one of the most exciting parts is selling artists’ work before the doors even open for the awards ceremony and exhibit reception!

This is all thanks to our art-loving Partners who make a dollar value commitment long before the artwork even arrives. That’s how excited they are to see your work!

“Art Comes Alive was an incredible art opportunity for me and my career! I entered for the chance at one of the great art awards, and not only was I accepted into the exhibit, but ended up winning two awards! My work now hangs as part of PwC’s corporate collection in their Columbus office!”
- Linda Fischer, ACA 2015 Award Winner

PURCHASE AWARDS = GUARANTEED ART SALES

That’s right we have over $60,000 of artwork that is essentially already sold!

ACA is unlike other art competitions, because we don’t just have prestigious Jurors looking at your work and considering you for their galleries and publications, we actually sell artists’ work! At last year’s ACA we sold 44 works of art even before the doors to the show opened. That’s simply unheard of in art contests, but we’re glad to make it happen for our artists.

How do we do this? The week before the opening reception, our Purchase Award Partners get a “VIP” perk and view the top 150+ pieces before anyone else to select their favorites worth their partnership amount. To a collector this is like being a kid in a candy store except their sweet-toothed palate now has a taste for decadent artworks that radiate with color and style!

Linda's fiery abstract with cooling greys was the perfect artwork for PwC's new office in Columbus, OH. (Also pictured is Kevin Caron's 3D printed sculpture).

ALL TYPES OF ART AND ALL TYPES OF STYLES

Just like our Jurors (who we introduced in last week’s blog), our Purchase Award Partners are looking for artwork of all shapes, sizes, mediums, and styles. It could be a photographic print on aluminum of the Grand Canyon, a small mixed media abstract that looks like a pile of glinting treasure, or a stunning bronze sculpture with slender limbs.

While we welcome back some of our favorite Purchase Award Partners, we’re excited to introduce a handful of new Partners who are eager to see and purchase your work!
