Browsing:

The Artists' ShowCase - Online Search function makes it easy for you to locate prints by artist, style, film type (black & white, color or other), print medium, price range - or any combination of these. Simply make your selections from each of the option menus and click on the “Search” button. If there's an option in which you don't have a preference, you can select 'any' or pass over it completely. You may also reset your search any time, as well as choose to View All Images.

The Search by Description function allows you to search using keywords that may appear in the title of an artwork or the description sections. Even though the descriptions of the photographs are brief, this is still an effective way to find works photographed in a specific city or country, or by year. For ease of use, this function is not case sensitive and will read partial words.

Once the search is complete, the images matching your criteria are displayed on the screen as thumbnails, with up to 15 images per page. The number of pages and images will appear in the top right corner above the thumbnails. The images are cropped to fit the format of the page. To see a full view and details about a specific print click on the thumbnail. The detail page that follows will have a larger view along with the name of the artist, title and description of the work, the print medium and the available size options with corresponding pricing. You also can see a more enlarged view of the image from this page.

Image and print size are specified for your convenience. In some cases the image size is estimated. The estimated dimensions are to be used as a guide. For example, if the image size is estimated as 81/2" x 11", the image will be 8 1/2" high and up to, but not exactly 11" wide, or 11" high and up to, but not exactly 8 1/2" wide. The print sizes are accurate.

Most prints offered are available in multiple sizes and the artists will often produce custom sizes for buyers. Some artists will also work with you to create original pieces within their style for a personal or corporate collection. To obtain information and pricing to purchase a custom size or to discuss a potential commission, please call or email Artists' ShowCase - Online.

Request a Printed Sample:

Artists' ShowCase - Online will provide you with a physical sample of an image you're considering for purchase, allowing you to have a closer look to affirm your decision. Simply click on the link at the bottom of the image detail page and complete the pop-up email form.

These samples are not the same quality as the fine art prints. Samples are printed with a high quality inkjet printer on maximum 8 1/2" x 11" non-archival paper. Color saturation, contrast and texture may vary. They serve as a step closer to the final print than the computer screen - much like an artist's sketch serves as a decision point for a commissioned painting. Printed samples will ship out to you via regular mail within the week. If a delay is anticipated, we will contact you via e-mail.

E-mailing to a Friend:

As you browse through the images, you can share any of your selections with friends. As you look at the full view of an image, a link to e-mail to a friend appears at the bottom of the page. This is an easy way to share exciting finds or to collaborate on the decision making process. Or you can just use this when you see an image you think someone else would enjoy. You can include a short message, too.

Wish List:

The Wish List is a place for you to store a record of those images that interest you. It's a great place to keep images that catch your eye but you would like to contemplate a little longer, or to build a personal collection. Interior designers or art consultants can store potential selections for clients here, too. This area records the item number, artist, title and price of the images you select and is organized like your shopping cart. It also calculates the accumulated cost of the items within your wish list, excluding shipping and tax, to assist with purchasing decisions.

To add an item to your wish list, simply click on the 'add to wish list' link at the bottom of the page when viewing an image. You can also go from the wish list back to the images by clicking on the title of the piece. The Wish List can accommodate unlimited images, and will store selections for up to three months. To purchase an item, just move it from the Wish List to your Shopping Cart by checking the 'Move to Cart' box at the left of the entry. It's also easy to remove items from the Wish List by checking the 'Delete Item' box at the left of the entry.

You can start your wish list from any image page in the site. To have your wish list saved, you need to set up an account with Artists' ShowCase - Online. When you come back to the site at a later date click on My Account to access your wish list.
