It\u2019s a Friday morning – the interwebs are pinging with the interaction of digital likenesses, liking and loving, and commenting about anything and everything. This is the world we live in – one activated by our avatars – one driven by digital realities. It\u2019s hard in a world such as this to make an impact\u2026 But we are out trying anyway…<\/span><\/p>\n

Art on the Rio is about more than just art, artists, collectors, and sales – it\u2019s about community.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Friday morning and we are responding to the inquiries, and checking if we have new followers on our Instagram page @artontherio<\/em>. A DM we are sent asks about the price on a James Montoya piece that we have hanging at one of our Brick and Mortar Partner locations, Global Ties. We respond – and the buyer says she would like to buy it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where the magic happen:
\n<\/strong>Being that we are a two person outfit, we ask if the buyer wouldn\u2019t mind stopping by Global Ties herself, checking the painting out, and taking it home after paying if she in fact does love it in person. She agrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

An hour or so later, the Executive Director Yuriria Morales confirms that the buyer has been by and that the painting by James Montoya, \u201cFuego<\/em>,\u201d is headed to a new home. Everyone\u2019s happy – including Ms. Morales, because in the interaction\/transaction of buying a new piece of art, the buyer has inquired about how to get more involved in our community, and with the organization she is standing in, Global Ties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s times like these that we sit back and marvel at the functionality of this thing – this collective action oriented marketplace, where commerce and community exist simultaneously. It\u2019s Friday morning, and not only have we put $640 dollars in the pockets of one of the artists we work with and for,\u00a0 but als potential volunteers in the wings of Global Ties. We are strengthening the bench of NPOs, we are sending new consumers through the doors of small businesses for some mini-pancakes and original art – we are having folks cheers to the idea of #BuyingLocal while they tip pints, they\u2019re talking about paintings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible – impact. Even on a Friday morning when we have so much on our minds, and so many replies to make on various accounts, we can account for the human interaction that is necessary to feel like an impact is being made in Burque – and we couldn\u2019t do it without you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are doing this together. We are changing the way art helps our community conduct business – curating community and making a marketplace where there were formerly independent hustlers participating in the perpetuation of a scarcity mentality city. This is not that thing. WE are about collaboration – let\u2019s work together.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
