  • (1888PressRelease) June 21, 2011 - One of the most difficult obstacles for artist is simply getting their work seen. ArtFire.com, the premier online artisan marketplace, has partnered with Talenthouse to give artists the opportunity to collaborate with leading creative icons and brands. Talenthouse helps artists at every level by creating competitions to attract emerging talent to hundreds of global brands. ArtFire will launch a portal on the My ArtFire dashboard to alert artisan members to the latest Talenthouse opportunities and provide sneak-peeks to especially beneficial opportunities.
    Currently ArtFire is promoting Talenthouse creative invites such as the Nine West contest to design a tote bag for a Nine West limited edition collection. This opportunity and many like it via Talenthouse serve as a creative opportunity for the ArtFire community of over 50,000 artists.

    ArtFire members will be given early looks at select Talenthouse creative invites in categories like jewelry design, art, photography, fashion and more. By joining the Talenthouse community of over 500,000 members, ArtFire Artisans can also rapidly expand their professional network and find new opportunities for creative collaboration.

    "ArtFire artisans are already producing work capable of garnering national attention and widespread recognition for their talent and originality," said Tony Ford, ArtFire COO. " By partnering with Talenthouse we intend to accelerate the pace of artisan reach into the wider consumer market."
