What is Vapidus Designs?
I originally created Vapidus Designs years ago in Montreal as a business means to promote my own murals and paintings. The name was chosen after discussing the visual arts movement with other local artists. "Vapidus" is a Latin word expressing a notion of fading traces. I feel like the sight of the world we socially live in today has faded, and that the simple beauty of the creations of present-day artisans remains unseen too often--we pass each other on the street everyday. I speak directly of the many of us who work at the jobs we must to support the work of the art that we love. It has been my dream to create a space to slow or stop the fading of the visibility and intention of the artists of our times. The purpose of Vapidus Designs is to bring the unknown and emerging artists from their studios, with as much expression and explanation as each desires, as a means to offer our work to the masses.
With this website I present to the public an opportunity to view the works of today's artists. My vision of this project's future is simple: I have created a small space for artists to network, post their work, gain exposure and have the opportunity to sell originals as well as professional prints. This space is meant to be for the practical enjoyment of the public and the featured artists. I want this website to offer the public the chance to view many works of many artists and make any potential exchange of that art affordable to the public and profitable to the artist. Artistic expression is an essential of life and I hope this project, starting with this website, can offer a new accessibility to the market of visual art, for both the artist and the connoisseur.
Another fun feature of this website is the inclusion of the art of the written word. This is not a space to present any written word for sale. Please consider sending written submissions which we will post for viewing available to anyone visiting the website.
THIS WEBSITE IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE SALE OF PIECES
PLEASE VISIT AND VIEW THE WORK OF YOUR PEERS OFTEN.
It is Vapidus Designs' mission to offer affordable promotional exposure for the unknown and emerging artist. Many artists do not have the time, resources or technology to promote their own work. As a business we offer promotional packages, with varied options and price ranges, and work directly with the artist to launch their work, for viewing and sale, to the public. Artists can depend on Vapidus Designs to professionally introduce their work to the surrounding public and galleries via promotional tools ranging from phone calls and snail mail, to feature spots on our website, to creating a digital portfolio. In theory and practice we believe art is good for the soul and spirit. Vapidus designs would like every artist wondering how to plunge into the large world of art sales and exposure to consider what we have to offer. |
