You + Art - Introducing the Awesome Art.com Relaunch
Hi friends! Today I'm excited to be one of a team of 25 bloggers who were invited to share the dazzling relaunched Art.com website with the blogworld today. The new site is beautifully designed, effortless to use, and inspiring (quite a departure from their old clunky site thankfully) and I can't wait for you to have the chance to check it out. Really...I think that you're going to be pleasantly surprised!
The people behind Art.com aren't just about being the world's biggest online retailer of art (even though they are proud to fill that roll)...they truly strive to help you find the art you love, so you can love your space more. With that in mind they've introduced several awesome new ways for you to find and fall in love with art that is perfectly you. Here are a few of my favorite new features:
GET INSPIRED: by regularly curated collections of art, arranged by some of today's greatest taste makers and art insiders. These "moodboards" offer tailored selections by theme, and are a great way to dive into the wonderful world of art and find something new to love.
YOU + ART: Such a vast selection of great art can become overwhelming, so why not create galleries to save your favorite pieces (can be saved both publicly or privately). You can then discover and follow other art.com customers with similar taste to yours. Take a peek at my galleries here if you're interested.
You can name/organize your galleries however you'd like. Maybe you're working on decorating a specific room in your home and need a "kitchen" gallery to draw inspiration from or just love the color blue and want to collect up as many blue art pieces as you can in one place. It's all about making the process of discovering art enjoyable. Once you find what you love, you can share your favorite prints, galleries, or even room display ideas by email and facebook...and you can pin any art.com piece directly to Pinterest too!
Did you know that every Art.com frame is artfully handmade (by a real person...not just a machine) and perfected in Ohio, USA. So while you could go with an IKEA frame, the heart and craftsmanship that goes into making your framed art purchase exceptional (and able to last for years to come), makes it truly worth the extra cost. Plus the "frame it" feature is easy to use...and kind of fun too!
Finally, you can take all those beautiful pieces you've collected and try them out in a wide selection of rooms. There's even an "upload a room" feature that will allow you to try your art picks on your very own wall! So great! This is what shopping for art should feel like...personal, fun and inspiring! What are you waiting for? Hurry over and find the art you love! xo Ez
Psst! Check out this lovely 32 second video for a little bit more artsy inspiration (totally worth watching full-screen in my humble opinion):

I can't wait to check this out! I'm such an art nerd and can't wait to discover new things. Thanks for the update!
Cheers, Elizabeth of the Corner Apartment
Hi EZ,
Thank you for posting this article about the new changes to Art.com. I really like the new features, especially the upload a room app. This really makes it easier to visualize the art on my actual walls. Can't wait to go try it out. ~Blenda
EZ, you do such a great job with these sponsored posts. The content is just as compelling and beautiful as everything else you post. The combination of the marigold dancer / navy skied field landscape is unexpected - yet works so well!
Wow what a great source of inspiration! Thanks for such a useful post :)
Your feedback truly means so much to me Elizabeth, Blenda, Sam, and Emma. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and kind words with me! xo Ez
I echo what Sam said--your sponsored posts do not read like sponsored posts, and you always write about good stuff. Like this. Bravo!
Is that an Edward Hopper? I can't see a link to it.
Thank you so much Katie. And I do apologize for neglecting to link to the prints I included with this post. I've gone ahead and added those to the end of the post now for your reference. Thanks for pointing out their absence to me! xo Ez
Thanks Ez!
