Art Atelier Europe is a web platform to connect to artists, visit their ateliers and buy the work directly from the artist.

Marieke, as owner of PontArte gallery, was experiencing the bowndaries of a gallery. There are way more interesting artists than a single gallery can represent. There are only 12 months in a year to make shows and many artists don't get the possiblity to show their work. 

Alexandra is an artlover and artist and owner of the Web design agency, Web design en meer, has the same motivation: making artists visible!

The 2 have developed a new way of connecting people to artists. By starting locally, in the Maastricht region, and extending this in the future, we offer art collectors an overview of interesting artists and a way to connect to these artists by offering Atelier visits.

Our aim is creating an experience of finding the artwork that is more than a nice picture on the wall. 

Together we bring over 40 years of experience in the artworld and internet. We select the artists together with xxx, xxxx, xxxx.

The contemporary art world has changed over the last decades. The internet and social media have given artists a great opportunity to show their artwork. But the number of physical galleries has declined

Not the gallery and s few collectors are the way to find great artworks, but the online world is the starting point for the new art collector. We also believe that there is a great artist near you, or on a few hours travel.

We invite artists living in a range of 100 KM from Maastricht to contact us to understand the requirements of being visible on the platform.
