Society6.com - Supporting Artists The Social Way

In a nutshell, this is a new service that will provide emerging artists the worlds over with a ready chance to showcase their talents and skills. Such individuals post their works online and people can vote on the ones they like best. Each vote is termed a promotion in the site’s parlance, and as it is only customary the works that have met with the highest level of acceptance are spotlighted on the main page. The ultimate objective of the site is giving those artists the exposure they deserve and a ready chance to obtain grants to support their artistic visions and realize their works.

At the end of the day, the site aims to empower the artists of the world by providing them with an infrastructure for traversing the creative pathway without worrying about financial considerations. Does it succeed or not? I advice you to check the site out and arrive at your own conclusions. I think we will agree that the foundations for a worthwhile platform are more than firmly in place.

“To fulfill our mission to Empower the World's Artists, Society6 has created an open grants system where individuals and organizations can easily issue money or opportunity (free products and services) grants to creative people from around the world. Artists and other creative people apply to these grants. The community nominates applicants to create the list of finalists. The grant giver chooses one applicant from the finalist list to award the grant.”

It enables artists to focus on the realization of their works and forget about financial considerations.

Are there sites providing related services on the web, or is this one a one-of-a-kind website?
