Talented artists are flocking to Thumbtack Press to showcase their work. What better way to market yourself as an artist during tough economic times than through a web-based gallery? When you submit your work to Thumbtack Press they screen it to ensure that it is “worthy” of selling on their site.
The best part? You don’t have to sell the original artwork. Thumbtack Press requests a print-ready version of the work from you and then produces wonderful prints on demand. It’s like an art gallery and a poster store rolled into one.
