ArtBeacon, the premier online artist resource to sell art via individual e-commerce web sites, today announced their sponsorship of San Francisco Open Studios 2004.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 6, 2004 -- ArtBeacon, the premier online artist resource to sell art via individual e-commerce web sites, today announced their sponsorship of San Francisco Open Studios 2004.

In an effort to expand on this already successful annual event, ArtBeacon has made free services available to participating artists in order to leverage sales opportunities year round. By taking advantage of ArtBeacon's sponsorship, artists can easily and quickly create their own e-commerce enabled web sites, allowing them to display, market, and sell their artwork while taking payment directly from their clientele. To further support the efforts of individual artists, ArtBeacon has also launched its artist portal, allowing art enthusiasts and buyers to search across a variety of parameters to find art of interest and directly access artists' sites/stores.

To support the invaluable efforts of ArtSpan, the organizer of SF Open Studios, ArtBeacon is also donating half of its proceeds gathered from the sale of artwork from participating Open Studio artists.

SF Open Studios 2004 starts October 2nd and runs through October 24.
