What is the key to Artspace’s success?
At Artspace, projects are very collaborative and they attribute their success and growing popularity (The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch to name a few are taking notice) to a dedicated and talented staff. “Every project ends up being a group effort, from the initial idea to the final product, ” said Jennifer Ruocco Sr. Marketing Manager for Artspace. “We’re also part of the Made in NY tech community, so we have in-house developers on hand who are constantly working to improve the site’s features to give our visitors the best possible experience.”
How do you provide insider access to the world’s best art?
“We have curators worldwide who select the artworks and reach out to galleries and museums for partnership opportunities,” says Ruocco. “We also have a dedicated editorial team to write all of the content on the site, from event roundups and art education pieces to the latest art market news. By showcasing the art and pairing it with relevant editorial stories in our emails, we are able to bring the best of the art world directly to our members’ inboxes.” Artspace provides email subscribers first access to new artworks and special events.
