Artemis Herber is a visual artist working in the mediums of sculpture and painting. Her Greek heritage brought her to develop concepts related to the shared structures in which humans live, in relation to Earth and ‘Gaia Rise’ in the context of polit-myth. Her powerful creations are defined by an experienced and unrestrained use of materials.

Art Collision customized the artist’s website based on her requirements and preferences. We helped designed her web pages according to her visual identity and integrated the artist’s unique image for distinctive branding. We also had the privilege to install two VR exhibits in for Artemis.

Caviar20 had already been in the art space for 10+ years before Art Collision stepped in to help out with its digital presence. We were tasked with ensuring that their online identity is top-notch 🙌🏼

We designed a website for them that reflects their progressive identity while also doubling up as an e-commerce front to generate online art sales. We also supported them with crypto integrations, getting their artworks listed across multiple marketplaces and exhibiting some of their artist works in Art Gate.

Not too long ago, we had the privilege to do translation and editing work on two French anthologies for Art Canada Institute!

Founded in 2013, the Canadian Art Books Online Project is a growing collection of digital books – all original editions curated by the Art Canada Institute – written by the country's leading visual culture scholars and devoted to artists whose contribution to the history of Canadian art is undeniable. Each year, the IAC enriches this project by publishing new works

Here's sharing with you french anthologies for these two artists:

Floating Point Gallery’s in-house artist Antoine Lortie answers critical questions leading his experience at Art Toronto 2022.

Q1- As the in-house artist at FPG whose work visitors at Art Toronto got to experience last week, is there an insight that you’d like to share?

Q2- What would you say was the reception of the work and medium in the demographic present at Art Toronto?

We are so grateful for the continued support from our sponsors and incubators since the official launch of the gallery, on March 31, 2022. A particular thanks to META, CFC Media Lab, and Art Gate VR. Their sponsorship enables us to continue empowering, shaping, and advancing opportunities for new generations of Canadian storytellers and creators.

Thank you very much, Sarah Micho, for highlighting the work we have done with e-commerce capabilities and crypto payment solutions for the Canadian art market.

At Art Collision, we believe that traditional art galleries should accept cryptocurrency as payment and adopt a hybrid business model at the intersection of web2 and web3.
