(Newswire.net — September 11, 2014) — VirtuArte creates interest in and sells beautiful, distinctive art from around the world and supports the artists who create these pieces by providing a source of income and exposure to their work. VirtuArte is excited to bring these exquisite handcrafted gift items to Facebook. A limited number of promotional 15% discount coupons are available for just a few days at http://woobox.com/rwkb85.
The VirtuArte Facebook Store can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/VirtuArte/app_149696141763776. Their website can be found at http://www.virtuarte.com.
VirtuArte works with artists in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North and South America and makes their fine art, from handbags and jewelry to textiles and other home décor items available to an international clientele. The sale of their art enables these individuals to generate a sustainable income and preserve their traditional craftsmanship for future generations.
“Many of these items are expressions of traditions and customs that are slowly dying out due to insufficient incentive – economical or cultural – to pass on to the next generation. I am passionate about developing international markets for these works of art so more people can enjoy them and the incentives are created for the next generation to continue the traditions” said Deborah E. Myers – Founder of VirtuArte.
The VirtuArte Collection is divided into three categories Jewelry, Accessories, and Home Decor. Some of the more popular artists are:
Carol Cassidy of Laos, Jan Van Schaik of Indonesia, Ilse Pringe of South Africa, The Koumama Family of Niger, Calamarie of Colombia, and Nilson de Assis of Brazil.
Consumers are showing a greater interest in handcrafted, high-end international folk art and fine crafts. Not only are these items exclusive, exquisite, and unique – as gifts, they will be memorable and appreciated by the recipient.
Deborah E. Myers, Founder of VirtuArte is an avid supporter of the Arts. She worked at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) early in her career, which lead to her interest in developing countries issues.
After leaving the IDB, Deborah held various positions in multinational corporations that involved international travel. During her travels she was always looking for unique items as gifts for her family and friends.
