NEW YORK, NY.- Art Pow Wow, a social network and e-commerce website where selected artists can connect with an international community of artists and collectors has launched. Established in 2015 as an alternative to the noisy social networks and unfiltered online art markets that dominate the industry, Art Pow Wow is a curated site that offers artists the opportunity to sell their art directly to collectors, meet curators, and trade their work with other artists.

Advanced features like their one-of-a-kind Crit Room, residency database, virtual collections, and in-house art advisors make Art Pow Wow the new standard for artists to showcase their work and stay connected within their local, and the greater global, community.

Collectors on Art Pow Wow have direct access to emerging and established artists creating original art in every media, at all price points. The artists featured on Art Pow Wow are selected through a rigorous screening process by a panel of their peers to ensure that the quality of the work and the high caliber of the community remain strong.

Art Pow Wow is a passionate supporter of environmental conservation and will be donating 10% of their proceeds to Solar One, an organization dedicated to educating individuals and communities about green energy development within urban environments.

To celebrate the artists who are the foundation of this community and the partnership with Solar One, Art Pow Wow is hosting their inaugural exhibition at LES Projects from Saturday, September 12th to Sunday, September 13th, 2015. The exhibition will showcase work by Philip H. Ashley, Agata Bebecka, Sara Berks, Kate Davis Caldwell, Roger Carmona, Katie Cercone, Noa Charuvi, Maria Jose Duran, Josh Elrod, Rachel Fainter, Rebecca Goyette, Alejandro Guzman, Hai-Hsin Huang, Pooneh Maghazehe, Michelle Matson, Jenny Morgan, David Mramor, Gregg Louis, Chris Oh, Gabriel Pionkowski, Matias Santa Maria, Stacy Scibelli, Matt Stone, Francesca Strada, Trish Tillman, Denise Treizman, and Michael Yaikel, with live performances by the Go! Push Pops collective and Enid Ellen, and bartending by Beverly’s.
