Hey there – we figured we would try something. We know often folks have questions about how something works but don\u2019t know who to ask. Sometimes folks have the same questions and get different answers, based on who they ask. Probably less often than one would imagine, folks search for an answer from a trusted source\/the source – and then share the source itself as means of answering questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So\u2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We figured – what the FAQ – let\u2019s just share them as a blog post. Cheers. Answers to some of your questions here:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Art on the Rio – FAQs\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

What is it?
\n<\/b>It\u2019s different. Art On The Rio, is anything but your traditional \u201cgallery\u201d or artist representation model. It\u2019s a \u201cGhost Gallery\u201d and \u201cArt Dealership.\u201d Art On The Rio works with artists and for artists, to place their work on the walls of local businesses. Our \u201cBrick and Mortar Partners\u201d are\u00a0 all types of businesses and sizes. Our goal is to get the artists work in as many different demographic locations as possible, for the sake of connecting artists with buyers that might not be within their immediate network and vice versa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OK, But\u2026 What is it??? How does it work? Is there a physical gallery space????
\n<\/b>Everything you see online at <\/span>www.artontherio.com<\/span><\/a> is currently in inventory or hanging around town at what AOR refers to as \u201cBrick and Mortar Partner\u201d locations. There are more than a dozen locations. They grow and change regularly – the best way to keep up is following our feed on Instagram @artontherio<\/span><\/p>\n

Who can participate?
\n<\/b>Are you a visual artist? Do you create works of art that you\u2019d like to sell? Can they be \u201cwired to hang?\u201d Are they of your original creation? Damage and blemish free? Are you willing to hand your babies over,\u00a0 have them posted on the internet and hung around town for possible purchase? Then YOU can participate!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who\u2019s in charge? Who runs it? Why?
\n<\/b>Art On The Rio was created and founded by Carlos Contreras and Jessica Gentry. The hybrid model that is an Art Dealership and Ghost Gallery is a fully independent small business, operating out of Albuquerque\u2019s North Valley. The duo created AOR in order to give artists an alternative to \u201cdoing it all alone\u201d when joining a gallery or pursuing a traditional route to representation wasn\u2019t\/isn\u2019t desired by the artist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I have to pay to be part of it?
\n<\/b>NOPE! Again, NOPE! In fact, you don\u2019t pay a dime until something sells. That means the creation of your \u201cfootprint\u201d on the <\/span>www.artontherio.com<\/span><\/a> website – the marketing done on your behalf, and the partnerships we work to secure is all done out of a love for the hustle – and the possibility of monetary return, when things sell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much of \u201cthe cut\u201d does AOR get?!?!
\n<\/b>Speaking of \u201cselling.\u201d When your art sells\u00a0 – we only take 20% – read that twice! Yep, we split with artists 80\/20, with the only exception being American Home Furniture on Menaul and Carlisle, where the split is 70\/30. In being fair to American Home Furniture, they\u2019ve re-invested 100% of their profits to date into paying local marketing experts to help us spread the word about AOR!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I see there are Community Partners – What\u2019s that about?
\n<\/b>AOR aims to serve the artists AND the community! We are open to being approached by small businesses, individuals, and non-profit organizations about their particular needs, message, or idea and we will see if a partnership makes sense to us. Sometimes that\u2019s a virtual event for means of a monetary donation – others, it\u2019s creating access, space, or time for folks who wouldn\u2019t have it otherwise. Either way – all we can say is \u201cno,\u201d and we don\u2019t do it often. Let\u2019s collab!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
