About the Artwork The artwork on our website is provided from member artists, galleries, dealers and collectors nationwide. Our members are approved based on quality and originality. We strive to provide a wide selection of quality work for any taste or budget while not limiting opportunities for the artists or buyers. We also have selected works located at our showroom and for viewing and purchasing in person. Obligatory Mission Statement Artwork Network's mission is to create opportunities for art by developing a network of artists, galleries, businesses, designers and collectors using personal associations and the latest technology. We aspire to create valuable connections that will result in artistic and/or economic success for all parties and allow art to be appreciated by a wider audience. | |
| Artwork Network’s 'technology based art consulting' provides a simple, personalized process for specifying art. While there are many art websites, our research has shown that existing art consulting companies have not embraced the latest technology as a tool to assist their clients in the art selection process. Our services were designed to save our clients time and money while searching for art to purchase, or in the case of artist members -- marketing their artwork or managing the art on their walls. | ||
| We take the mystery and elitism out of the art buying process. Even if you are simply browsing and not ready or not looking to purchase art, you will always be greeted when you walk into our showroom. There are lots of services we provide, and you'll find we can often engage or pique your interest in some regards. And when it does come time to purchase art (or art related services), we hope you'll think of Artwork Network first -- or recommend us to your friends! We are approachable and down to earth. Many members of the staff have been around since the beginning, and we think that speaks volumes about the kind of company we are.        (From Left to Right) Alan: Alan Kircher is the founder, CEO and visionary behind Artwork Network. He brings over 15 years of experience in business, marketing and sales including many years in the banking industry helping artists and other small businesses manage their finances. Alan received a BA in Business from Alan remains committed to visual artists, galleries and dealers providing tools to help them expand their market. Jessica: Jessica Bradley is the Creative Director at Artwork Network. She creates and manages any graphic output from the company and for a girl, does a pretty good Arnold Schwarzenegger impression. Jessica graduated from the Art Institute of Colorado, receiving the top honor of "Portfolio Par Excellence". She has been with Artwork Network since January 2007, clawing her way up from intern status. Amy: Amy Norton has the title of Director of Operations and Marketing at Artwork Network, but in truth, she wears many hats. She has a Bachelor of Arts from CU and an Associates of Applied Science from the Art Institute of Colorado, as well as years of small business consulting under her belt. Artwork Network is a culmination of her many years in small and creative businesses. She loves the dynamic energy and atmosphere of a growing company where the flow of new ideas keeps it interesting, fun and challenging. She also works about a foot away from Jessica, and always suffers through the Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions with a smile on her face. Jonathan: Jonathan Howie is the Intergalactic Sales Director, and though Artwork Network does not currently reach an audience outside our global view, he is always ready to push through the next frontier. He came to Artwork Network because of his extensive background in art, architecture, photography, entrepreneurialism and business. Jonathan has worked alongside the Artwork Network team since 2005 and joined the team full time in December of 2009. Jonathan's background includes architectural signage, wayfinding and environmental graphics. He worked in Denver as a signage consultant for ASI Signage for nearly 5 years and successfully planned and managed several large architectural signage projects locally. This experience has proven valuable in developing and managing our custom art consultation service. Blah, blah, blah, Jonathan is amazing, blah, blah, blah. How could you NOT want to work with him?! Brian: Brian Hanley is a Denver Sales Representative. Curt: Curt Fowler is Artwork Network's very own Custom Framer. He has over twenty years of experience, and has a raster of repeat clients. Among Curt's many accomplishments is framing the Jimmy Carter portrait, and being all around awesome. Ken: Ken Sakal is the Event Coordinator. We realize our space is beautiful, and everyone wants to host their wedding/birthday/bash there... if you have questions about event hosting, Ken is your man! But it all started when... In 2004, Alan Kircher launched Artwork Network in In 2005, Artwork Network introduced a fully functional web site artworknetwork.net to fulfill our vision of connecting physical art and the internet expanding the audience of artists, galleries and dealers on a national level. Our goal is to be the primary resource for artists needing a web presence and buyers looking to purchase art. In late spring 2005, Artwork Network opened its showroom in the Denver's Art District on Santa Fe after a need was recognized to provide a primary location to showcase selected art to designers, collectors, businesses and more. The showroom has since moved around the district several times to increasingly larger spaces in order to accommodate the growing business. We currently occupy two buildings. Our 9th and Our adjacent location at 855 Inca Street is Artwork Network Studios on Inca Street with 4800 sq. ft. of additional artist work studios and a gallery space. We typically display a variety of artists work on a monthly basis with a large amount of traffic coming through on First Friday, the monthly art walk at the In addition to being known by thousands of buyers and collectors nationally, we are becoming a well known brand in the artist, gallery and dealer community and are positioning the company for expansion of our services into other markets throughout the | ||
