Comments on: Myartspace.com joins Bridge Art Fair http://www.artlurker.com/2008/10/myartspacecom-joins-bridge-art-fair/ A Miami based contemporary art newsletter / blog Sun, 19 May 2013 15:01:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rage http://www.artlurker.com/2008/10/myartspacecom-joins-bridge-art-fair/comment-page-1/#comment-10789 Rage Mon, 10 Jan 2011 15:00:48 +0000 http://www.artlurker.com/?p=568#comment-10789 I used to be a Premium member on www.myartspace.com until I talked to some of their competition finalists. They have a long history of screwing finalists over. For example, artist Johnathan Brilliant won the Miami competition only to have the sites founder, Catherine McCormack-Skiba, tell him that his artwork was not appropriate for the exhibit. Their "prestigious" jurors selected him for the exhibit, but the founders decides to censor him? What gives? The same thing happened to a finalist of the New York, New York competition. It is total bollocks! I never sold anything on the site after three years. Since that time I put my money into having my own website and I think it was the best move I ever made. The only thing that attracted me to Myartspace is the competitions and they are obviously not what they are presented to be. If you are going to spend money on an art site make sure you spend in on your own website!!! These clowns just want your money!!!! Need more proof of that? When the founder decided to sale her mothers paintings she did not even use NYAXE, the e-commerce platform for Myartspace, she instead hired an online auction house. If the founder views her e-commerce platform as being worthless why should any of us use it? I wish someone would expose these guys!!!!
