Like behind each other successfull website there is also a strong team behind artolino. Six students of the Alpen-Adria-University of Klagenfurt (Carinthia, Austria) foundet after well sophisticated preparatory work the UPG unique.projects GmbH - which hosts artolino - in 2009.
The Vision of the young people was to approximate the art market to society through new media and novel ideas. Therefore they created artolino - a website for private- and business customers - which is intended to facilitate an overview of the market and scene and to simplify the purchase of art objects.
However artolino does not limit to the phrase "art" - there is more behind: design, lifestyle, furnishing, creativity, individuality...
The very special about artolino is that there is not only an onlinestore but also a community is integrated. artolino is involved in the art scene and wants to support newcomer and creative people. With new distribution- and marketing possibilities it becomes more easy for artolino members to sell their objects and increase their extent of fame.
Through the collaboration with the artolino community and the artolino pool of artists - which is opened for erybody who is creative - artolino tries to yield new ideas, establish cooperations or plan new events.
artolino wants to strike out in a new direction concerning art and design. Hence artolino committed to enable more individuality for peoples' homes and to support artists, designer and newcomer in their creativity and work!
