A Preview of What is to Come

WHO WE ARE

My name is Jacques Fontaine and I am the President/Owner/Operator of AmericanArt Masters located in South Eastern Wisconsin. I am an artist, photographer, "computer geek" who also loves old cars from the 60's and 70's.

However, this is not about me but it is about artists and fine art photographer’s not only here in Wisconsin but world wide who struggle on a daily bases to balance life, family, work and what truly drives them, their art and their need to create.

This is something that I have intimate knowledge of and can directly relate to as there are over 600 yrs of artists and artisans that have gone before me in my family’s line.

WHY "THE BUSINESS OF ART" IS STRUGGELING SO HARD TODAY TO  SURVIVE

Artist’s have always had a hard go of it by the very nature of “the business of art”. But in the last 20-30yrs it has gotten even worse. You see, artists are having to devote more and more time to doing business as opposed to creating. Creation of websites, internet marketing, legal issues such as intellectual property, social media marketing, and it goes on and on, not to mention a home life, providing for a family, etc.,. All of this takes money and time, something artists have little enough of and to put another nail in the coffin along comes COVID-19. Gallery's close, arts and crafts shows on indefinite hold, time is more valuable than money and once lost, an artist may never recover, we may have just lost the next Davinci, LaTrec, Rockwell, Redlin or even a Kinkade, I could go on and on!

We need to give our artists and fine art photographers a hand up, not a hand out, to give them something money can’t buy and that is time to create!

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP US FROM LOOSING THESE PRICELESS TREASURES, OUR ARTISSANS AND CRAFTSMEN?

To that end I have created AmericanArt Masters. Its taken me many years to get to this point but rather than go into great detail I want to touch on our mission statement, why this is not only the “perfect business” but also just plain “the right thing to do” and what we need from you to bring this dream, this passion of mine to life.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
 
 AmericanArt Masters shall support, mentor and promote the gifted silent minority among us known as “Starving Artists”

AmericanArt Masters shall provide world wide on-line 4K UHD “Digital Galleries” to all US based “Artists” regardless of age, or artistic background FREE OF CHARGE* for as long as they wish to have our support and the support of their fellow artists. This platform will allow the artists to share their unique views of the planet we live on (and some we don’t ;) ) with art lovers around the globe.
 
 THESE ARE THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF AMERICANART MASTERS:

  AmericanArt Masters “Objectives” are simple and direct: To be able to give the artists the freedom of additional time to do what they do best which is too create while we handle the day to day chores of promotion, sales and finance for them. We shall provide art lovers around the globe with a platform that allows them to view proprietary previously unseen art in full 4K UHD on any “Smart” 4K TV with Internet access (over 190 countries). Our “Galleries” will be dynamic in nature, always changing, providing new unique proprietary content for art lovers every where while also giving them direct access to the artists themselves at no cost to either.

Our “Goals” are just as simple and direct: To allow the artists to receive the recognition they deserve while also providing them with a source of long term reoccurring income through the use of “profit sharing”, Also at the same time providing art lovers world wide with a continuous flow of new and proprietary art work available through a very inexpensive subscription to our on line streaming service(s) with the option to purchase art directly from the artists themselves with no middle man involved.
