Calling all Artists we are looking for you

In a world where many artists struggle to find a platform to showcase their work without incurring hefty fees, The Eyecon Gallery emerges as a refreshing alternative. Launched by artist Mark East (aka Marco), this innovative gallery is changing the landscape for creators, allowing them to focus on their art rather than the burdens of technology and commissions.

Originally founded so East could sell his own artwork without losing a significant portion of his earnings to gallery fees, The Eyecon Gallery is expanding its vision to include a diverse range of resident artists. The gallery is now actively seeking talented individuals, particularly those who may be less familiar with technology or who are more interested in concentrating on their art, to join its community.

What's different about The Eyecon Gallery

The Eyecon Gallery’s unique proposition is simple yet revolutionary: no commission fees in fact no fees at all. Artists can showcase and sell their work without the financial strain that often accompanies traditional gallery models. This commitment by Marco to supporting artists extends beyond just financial relief; it creates an environment where creators are encouraged to focus on what they do best—creating art.

"We understand that many talented individuals may feel overwhelmed by the digital landscape as they try to promote their work," East said in a statement at the gallery's launch. "Our goal with The Eyecon Gallery is to provide a platform that eliminates those barriers, allowing artists to concentrate on their craft without the distractions of tech and marketing."

This initiative is particularly appealing for artists who may not have the time or expertise to develop their own websites, perhaps those who are retired and looking to sell their art without the risk of losing money to high street gallery commissions. By removing these obstacles, The Eyecon Gallery invites a fresh wave of creativity and innovation into the art world.

The gallery welcomes all forms of artistic expression, with a focus on providing a nurturing environment that encourages collaboration and growth. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, or mixed media artist, The Eyecon Gallery seeks to foster a community where art can flourish.

As it opens its doors, The Eyecon Gallery invites artists from all backgrounds to reach out. The gallery’s commitment to creating a commission-free space for artistic expression is not just about selling art; it's about empowering artists to reclaim their passion and creativity.
