Welcome to Artiste Online, founded by Sophie Edme, a successful entrepreneur with a deep passion for the arts.
After building an award-winning creative business, Sophie realised that the business skills she had could be used to help struggling artists thrive.
With Artiste Online, she aims to empower artists by providing them with the business knowledge and skills they need to turn their passion into a sustainable livelihood. Join us in our mission to support and celebrate creativity, starting with our inaugural exhibition in Sarlat-la-Canéda this August.
More about Artiste Online
I'm Sophie Edme, the founder of Artiste Online. As a successful entrepreneur, I've always been driven by a passion for creativity and a desire to solve problems. I started making soap to find a solution to my son's severe eczema and it became Sophie’s Barn, which grew beyond my wildest dreams.
Today I work as an Art Agent and whilst working with one of my favourite artists, I realised that a lot of artists really struggle with the commercial aspect of their creation. So now I want to use my business skills to help struggling artists make a living from their incredible work.
Our mission is to help artists from all walks of life, with all levels of experience and working in all mediums, to get the recognition they deserve and make a good living from their art. We want to see artists thrive, spending their time doing what they love and making the world a better place.
We have many exciting plans to help artists gain the experience and knowledge they need.
Our first initiative is the art exhibition 'Between Shadows and Light', which will take place in the beautiful, historic village of Sarlat-la-Canéda in France from 2 to 8 August. This pop-up exhibition will give artists the first-hand experience of exhibiting their work, dealing with galleries and attending a vernissage.
But, Artiste Online is about more than exhibitions. We offer support in navigating the technical aspects of art marketing, from setting up a website to managing social media and mailing lists. We aim to help artists understand the business strategies needed to be successful.
Our goal is to provide artists with the tools and support they need to succeed, so they have the freedom and finances to focus on their creativity.
Every artist deserves to be seen and validated for their creation. Every piece of art deserves to be seen, and people deserve to be able to buy those pieces of expression that have been magically created.
I am excited to be on this journey, helping more art see the light of day and more artists live comfortably while fulfilling their creative passions.
Join us at our exhibition in August where new and established artists can exhibit their work completely free of charge. Become a part of our supportive community dedicated to enriching the world with more creativity and beauty.
If you have any questions or would like more information about Artiste Online, please don't hesitate to contact us. Let's work together to make your art business thrive. I look forward to meeting you and seeing your amazing work.
