Unfortunately, Boundlessgallery.com closed down yesterday (March 1, 2010). I was a member there until it closed. The newsletter we got from BG and its President explained that the website was not making enough money, and that the business model was no longer profitable. Anyway, I saw the newsletter one day to the closing date (we only had 24 hours to get over the shock). It is a very sad news. I can’t really understand how BG could fail (considering the fact that they worked very hard to give their best). It is clear that selling ORIGINAL art online is no longer an easy thing to do.
My personal opinion: It was UNNECESSARY! The administrators could keep the website opened and functional...
When the studio practice becomes boring, uninteresting, or monotonous. We are left with only two options;
1) To take a leave.
or
2) To try something new.
One of the benefits of being a part-time contemporary African artist, is the freedom to paint when I want, the way I would like to (without too much external pressure).
