Art Life Collective is a small, independent Miami-based company dedicated to providing Artists a resource to market their work and profit from selling their work through our site. The company was created by artists for artists. As artists ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to get creative works of art into a space where they can easily be seen by our peers and the general public, let alone sell them. ALC is a free site. Artists are never charged for the space they use. All fees for server space and maintenance of the site are paid for by revenues the company takes in from sales. Unlike other sites on the web that share a small portion of profits with contributing artists, as a rule, ALC shares about one third of its profits from the sale of an artist’s image with the artist. This generally comes to $5.00 per sale, and is paid to the artist on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the artist’s preference. ALC also strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible by using heat-treated, solvent-free water-based pigments in all its prints. This process produces rich, soft, breathable images that will hold up wash after wash. In addition, ALC uses only 100-percent cotton garments pur- chased from American Apparel, a Los Angeles-based company dedicated to fair wages and producing the highest-quality pro- ducts. ALC was founded in 2006 by Blair Hadley, a writer and artist from Miami, Florida. The website itself was designed and is maintained by a gifted and talented pair of web designers from Manhattan. They are Nathan Conrad and Jon Kowalski.
