Spring Cleaning Tips for Procrastinators

Just in case you have been procrastinating on your spring cleaning, ButtonedUp has created a list to assist you and offers advice on hosting a virtual yard sale. While Tradepal provides a great service when de-cluttering, it is also useful when:

  • moving
  • selling art 
  • reducing your fashion collection
  • upgrading to the latest electronics
  • reducing your collection of videos
  • trading baby items, and much more

The best features include the ability to list a variety of items, share them with connections who, by the way, use their ‘real identities’, and this process requires only a minute from loading the image to completing the listing. Yes, only a minute!

As varied as the items offered by each user, are the variety of ways for users to transact. While the traditional buy and sell transaction is one option, users may also offer giveaways. For users seeking a trade, they may barter for items by selecting Make Offer to entertain a trade for items listed within their tradepal profile, or maybe a trade plus cash. It’s up to the two parties to decide and the transaction is done privately via their tradepal dashboards.

Along with social networks, the latest trends offer emerging artists new outlets to build awareness and tap into crowds. This infographic illustrates how pop, graffiti and street art evolved overtime. Artists are no longer limited to the will of traditional tastemakers and their imposed offline options such as galleries and expensive art fairs. 
In the same way talented musicians leverage YouTube and Twitter to gain exposure and build their networks, street and pop artists can access the masses online, cultivate an audience and build popular support.
We encourage emerging artists to leverage Tradepal’s social network-like marketplace to build their free online gallery and promote their art using our free social media tools.

Art Basel 2011: Musings and Curation in Images

This is our curated selection of the most interesting pieces we came across during the 10th edition of ArtBasel. Some of it is from art fairs and galleries, but most of what we liked was displayed by emerging artists on the streets of Wynwood. 

We’ve seen it all during this edition of ArtBasel: from SuperYachts and motorcades for the rich and famous to inspiring struggling artists that have driven their vans thousands of miles to showcase their art. We’ve attended the 1%’s most extravagant parties, but loved hanging out with the 99% at places like the Electric Pickle. 

We have observed how the tastemakers, i.e. curators and art critics cherished their pompous privileges, and we dreamt about how the convergence of art and technology could give a voice to the general public and lead to crowd-curation.

For that, we invite all emerging artists to build their online galleries on Tradepal!
