Track Down Contemporary Art Throughout Britain

Where do art lovers go and see good contemporary art for sale in the UK? A new online guide to exhibitions and galleries called I send you this.com makes it simple to find the latest work by emerging and established artists – wherever artists are in the country.

(PRWEB) June 26, 2007 -- Where do art lovers go and see good contemporary art for sale in the UK? A new online guide to exhibitions and galleries called I send you this.com (www.isendyouthis.com) makes it simple to find the latest work by emerging and established artists – wherever artists are in the country.

Bringing together galleries, exhibitions and artists in one place, isendyouthis.com helps Buyers, art lovers and collectors find the latest shows, private views and open studios. The gallery guide incorporates a useful map facility so art lovers can pick out contemporary galleries all over the UK and zoom in to see what’s on. If you’re heading to the Highlands, you can check out the Castle Gallery in Inverness. If you’re down in Cornwall, take a look at the Lighthouse Gallery in Penzance (along with a host of others). Plus, of course, all the better-known contemporary art galleries like Cork Street’s Waddington Galleries or Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge.

Even more useful is the exhibition diary – kept rigorously up to date and with a useful feature allowing collectors and art lovers to select opening or closing exhibitions, as well as the whole range by name or location. And a slide feature allows you to zoom in on random images by exhibiting artists to see where they’re showing.

‘There’s lots of great new art around, but finding it has never been easy,’ says isendyouthis.com founder Craig Smith. ‘We’ve created a most comprehensive way to track down some terrific artists and keep up to date with current exhibitions.’

In June/July art lovers will find the Eileen Cooper exhibition at Art First in Cork Street [image shown right. Or check out Andy Goldsworthy’s Wood Room at the Yorkshire Sculpture park at Wakefield (on until January 2008).

Starting up in August is Kate Schuricht’s

Ceramic Showcase at the Craft Centre and Design Gallery at Leeds City Art Gallery, while James Jessop shows his homage to the New York subway graffiti artists in the late 70s at Sartorial Contemporary Art in London’s Kensington Church Street from September.

isendyouthis.com also showcases the work of individual artists and work can be bought online or via their gallery.
