Art Business News, Feb, 2003

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -- New industry partnerships have been formed between art-exchange (www.art-exchange.com) and the Professional Picture Frame Association (PPFA) and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).

The PPFA and the ASID organizations assist their members to work more effectively and efficiently. By subscribing to art-exchange, PPFA and ASID members can leverage their customer base by offering art consisting of more than 30,000 different pieces stored in the art-exchange database to the PPFA's and ASID's member clients. Subscribing members of art-exchange can view and purchase art at wholesale prices. Additionally, PPFA members can list available framed or unframed pieces on art-exchange, thus making such pieces available to other art-exchange subscribers.

Richard Gipe, president of art-exchange, said, "This important business alliance has been in the works for quite some time now. Much of the design and development work that has gone into our Web site was done with art-buying groups like the PPFA and ASID in mind."
