About
Open Door Gallery is exploring and expanding the online capacity for Canadian contemporary fine artists. By operating without a storefront we avoid high commissions, and further support our talented artists through ongoing advocacy and outreach. We provide BC painters with a zero-cost platform for listing their work using our cutting edge digital placement app. Artists can market their work without technical savvy or shipping expertise. By listing only local artworks we have defined a unique and beautiful online catalogue. We aim to disrupt the traditional gallery model and promote BC fine artists to the world.
As Co-Founder of iArtView, I have reviewed hundreds of galleries and how they set up their businesses. Open Door Gallery’s concept to unite e-commerce gallery sales with a charitable organization is a timely and brilliant business model. Making a difference to those in need while supporting culture and the arts makes sense. Being able to write off your art purchase is a huge bonus too! I hope to see more galleries follow Open Door Gallery’s lead.
