Your Online Art Gallery for South West Talent
Art Gallery SW was founded to bridge the gap between local artists and art enthusiasts, offering a dedicated platform for showcasing regional talent. Our online gallery provides a seamless experience for buyers to discover original artwork, connect directly with artists, and explore curated collections from the comfort of their homes. We pioneered augmented reality integration, allowing clients to visualise artwork in their personal spaces before purchasing. With a focus on community support, we have become a vital resource for artists, particularly during periods when traditional exhibitions were unavailable. Our 14-day return policy ensures confidence in every purchase, while our newsletter keeps clients informed about exhibitions and new arrivals.We prioritise transparency in all transactions and maintain partnerships with artists across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, and beyond. Our team works closely with regional creatives to ensure their work reaches a wider audience, fostering growth within the local art scene. Through charity collaborations like our partnership with Childrens Hospice South West, we combine artistic excellence with social responsibility. Our platform caters to both individual collectors and trade customers seeking unique pieces. With over a decade of experience in digital art curation, we continue to innovate while maintaining our core mission of celebrating local artistic diversity.

Report
AGSW is a great business allowing artists to showcase their work both online using their dedicated site and through organised exhibitions. The site is very easy to use and Robert and his team are always on hand to assist both by phone and email. Registration fees are very, very reasonable as are commission fees when you sell. I have sold several pieces of art using AGSW and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I'm very happy doing buseness with "Art Gallery SW", it keeps me very busy- packing parcels nearly every week. What else would an artist dream about? I also apreciate the very affordable fees and imediate response when it's needed. Thank you Robert for organising everything so well
