ArtMoney Made of Art / Original Art created by Artists as alternative currency

Artmoney is original art that works as a global alternative currency.  I am a mixed media collage artist that loves to create artmoney. I am intrigued with the whole concept of art as money and wanted to share this concept with other artists who might be interested in researching and creating these historic little treasures of art into a form of currency. The goal of artmoney is ambitious and idealistic, but speaks to the core of the creative heart.

Running low on cash? If you are an artist, why not produce some art as money? You may not be able to pay your gas and electric bill with art money, but at least you'll reap the riches of creating!

The purpose of AM is: 

+To offer artists worldwide, the chance of financial freedom and worldwide exposure in order to focus on the creative process in the pursuit of a beautiful world.
+To integrate an alternative global currency with local currencies worldwide as a step towards equal shopping conditions for rich and poor regardless of the conditions of the local social environment in the pursuit of a world of individual choice and personal freedom.
+To create an art object with a practical social application. Using art money to pay for private accommodation will bring people together in an intimate private situation. This may offer the chance for new friendships among strangers from all over the world.

This currency may function as a human link across cultural, racial, linguistic, political and religious barriers in the pursuit of a peaceful world.

As many of you know, online sales have been slow for some, so if you are running low on cash, creating some ArtMoney may be just the ticket to cheer you up! :)

Sidenote: Please don't get confused with other artmoney websites out there. ARTMONEY.ORG
