After a couple of months (or more?), I finally am launching my SHOWCASE to buy/sell artworks and craftworks for Steem
STEEMARKET is the website that host the showcase.
Why a Showcase and not a shop?
Because the sales are to happen in the community, from a direct contact between buyer and seller. I'm not a gallerist or a vendor, and besides I think the art community on the Steem blockchain must do its part. Artists must do their part, here and in the art market as it works today!
How can you buy? Here is how!
How can you sell? Here is how!
At the moment, as you can see, there are just artworks by me and by my wife @silviabeneforti in Steemarket. Hey, we are artists! Obviously we are the first ones to show our artworks there.
Update: @marty-art has his first artwork added
But every artist on Steemit can put his artworks for sale there. And IT IS FREE.
No, you can't upload your pics by yourself on Steemarket. I didn't want an automated website. There are plenty of automated art shops online. I want to receive the photos and the infos and the prices of the artworks in the dedicated chatroom on steemit.chat (thx to @pfunk that created it for me). It means a lot of work more for me, of course, but it means also a direct contact between me and the artist that wants to be shown in my website. THAT's my revenue: helping a community to grow up and be part of it. (Yes, I hope also to get money from that. In the future. Perhaps. For now, let's build it.)
Artists often are not so "social". I know it. I'm an artist and I deal with that environment since 1992. COME ON, colleagues! Move your asses! ;)
How an artwork will look in Steemarket? This way.
Or like this:
I will post updates with the new artworks added and the sold one every weeks.
We will organize online auctions too.
Come and join, artists and art lovers! Let's do it.
I'm going to make the website better, of course. With your help and your suggestions. :)

I also started to recover some old art skills inspired by Steemit.
Maybe this is where the experiment will develop and platform for artists and art lovers...
