Artmeister is made possible by support from VirtualMuse.com, one of the oldest art galleries on the internet. VirtualMuse.com was originally founded in 1997 with the vision of finding the world's next unknown 'Picasso' or 'Monet'. Unfortunately, the internet was still relatively new and it was difficult for art lovers to see beyond the mediocre photography and low resolution scans of the fantastic works of art enough to actually pull out their checkbooks.
While the owners of VirtualMuse.com still scour small galleries, sidewalk shows, auctions, and openings, they find the internet is a great place to exhibit traditional and well-known art moreso than providing Neo-Picasso with a virtual grand opening. They're still patrons of the arts and collect as they go, but it's still hard to grasp the depth of a brushstroke in an oil on canvas by your neighborhood Renoir.
Kick back, pour yourself a cup o' Joe, and enjoy the world of Artmeister!
