Art Chatter: Helping Art Communities Be Heard

Whether you’re an artist or art advocate, Art Chatter is a valuable resource, devoted to the promotion of artists, galleries, and organizations of art communities in close proximity to Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Covered areas of Pennsylvania and New Jersey include; Bedminster, Chalfont, Doylestown, Dublin, Erwinna, Frenchtown, Lahaska, Lambertville, Milford, New Hope, Newtown, Perkasie, Stockton, Tinicum, Yardley, and other surrounding areas. Our goal is to add more to blend the art community together as the area is filled with history and art culture.

The roots of our nation were formed here and these towns are rich with historical and artistic history, which have put this area on the map and brought tourism to an all time high. Many famous artists and artistic movements have passed through the area. The Pennsylvania Impressionists movement is considerably the most well-known to this area. This style and tradition remains, and is still practiced by local artists. However, the area holds more than just impressionism and landscape paintings that many often overlook or don’t associate with the area. Modernist movements exist, as well; yet, the area continues to produce all forms of art.

The Bucks County area is ideal for weekend getaways or day trips from neighboring cities. Many people aren’t aware how close this rich culture is. Within ninety minutes from New York City, and perhaps under an hour from Philadelphia, one could easily find themselves in a completely different world. The picturesque country side is a good escape from the busy city life, and many visitors arrive from the cities to experience this. Most of the activity happens during the warmer months; however, even during the winter many festivities continue.

Art Chatter is growing and will soon host the world’s largest database of local artists and galleries. The site offers a directory that continues to grow through visitor input. Artist and gallery information is found throughout the site as each has its own unique section. Included in these sections are directions to the galleries, contact information, hours, artwork, and more. One of the unique features of the site is the ability for local artists and galleries to log-in and edit their own sections. They are able to post biographies, artwork, and any information they wish.
Acting more than a gallery guide, Art Chatter provides other pertinent information from local art communities. We offer local art news, gallery exhibitions, featured artists, featured galleries, a calendar of events, art books, and more. Visitors may submit information to the site for free inclusion. Art Chatter does not charge to list events, books, links, or other important information.
The internet has become one of the most affordable, easiest, and quickest forms of promotion. Art Chatter helps local art communities with utilizing this tool as best as possible while maintaining affordability. The site is new, but continues to appear in most of the internet’s search engines. The site is optimized and targeted for optimal exposure to ensure qualified visitors peruse the site. Art Chatter also provides an advertising campaign for the artists, galleries, and organizations. Different forms of internet and print advertising are integral elements to this campaign. While the internet remains an invaluable tool, one must also take advantage of other venues for promotion, including print ads in publications, postcards, mailings, and more. Of course, there will always be word-of-mouth as well. But, through the continuous support of the artists and galleries listed on the site, forms of promotion – otherwise unjustifiable or unaffordable to individuals – is now possible.
Whether you’re a local resident/artist/whatever that wishes to keep informed, or a visitor planning a wonderful trip full of art activities, Art Chatter is truly your best guide for the Pennsylvania and New Jersey area. Be sure to visit the Web site at: http://www.artchatter.com.
