Invitation to Host an Art Gallery

I'd like to invite you to add an art gallery to your work place. It could be at no cost to your organization, too!

"SoftMatchART brings works of art to workplaces and public spaces".  See

We work with local artists and private / public sponsors to produce and maintain original art collections for display in workplaces for the pleasure of staff and visitors.

These art collections, which can vary in size and theme provide a changing supply of beautiful images to adorn selected walls / display cases.

Those interested in buying an object of art can contact the artist directly and save on commissions.

If you would like to be a supporter of the arts and are interested in having an art display at your organization please email

Plan ahead to market your art:
Looking ahead, if display space is available, you may want to design a more rounded art marketing plan. For example, you could plan to display your work for more than a month at a time at a single venue; or a month at each of several of our venues; or have us rotate your collection among multiple venues in Toronto. All of these approaches will show your art to larger and more varied audiences of potential buyers. Just a thought...

P R E S S  R E L E A S E for Artists

Toronto, 14th January, 2008..... SoftMatch.com is pleased to announce the launch of it's innovative new service for artists: "SoftMatchART brings works of art to workplaces and public spaces".

The idea for this new and unique service comes from Sheila J.
Mitchell, artist and Vice President at SoftMatch.com where she has been in charge of IT event logistics since 1989. Sheila is in her 4th year as President of North York Visual Artists and is a member of various other art groups and associations in Toronto, Canada.

According to Sheila, "Artists are always looking for places to show their work but often gallery space is limited and commission fees too expensive. SoftMatchART charges no commissions to artists and arranges for their work to be seen and enjoyed in business and public settings.

"Our company has been matching buyers and sellers in business markets for 25 years and now we are providing artists with a much wider audience thanks to corporate sponsors who are delighted to host galleries in their workplaces and public spaces".

SoftMatch works with local artists to produce and maintain changing original art collections for display in sponsor workplaces for the pleasure of staff and visitors. These art collections, which can vary in size and theme, provide a continually changing supply of beautiful images to adorn selected walls or display cases.

Sheila says, "SoftMatchART is a "win-win" for both the artists who get their work in front of a wider audience and those who host SoftMatchArt collections and enjoy viewing beautiful images".
