Takung Online Promotes Artists for Long-Term Growth
HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2017 / Takung Art Co., Ltd. (NYSE American: TKAT) ("Takung" or the "Company"), an online trading platform that facilitates art collectors and art-interested investors to obtain and trade shared ownership units in Asian and international fine arts, announced today the successful completion of two artist promotion events for its Takung Online platform.
The first event, "double quotes," was Takung's first art exhibition to promote two young, up-and-coming artists that have listed artwork on its e-commerce platform, Takung Online. The exhibition, held from September second through the sixth at the 52 space in Hangzhou, China's West Lake district, also marked the beginning of Takung Online's artist promotional services.
The second event, the 11th annual Hangzhou Cultural & Creative Industry Expo, was held from September 21st through the 25th. More than 200,000 guests attended the expo, which took place on over 100,000 square meters of exposition space and featured more than 2,000 exhibitors. Artist Qiyao 77 represented Takung Online, and through her exhibit, Takung had the opportunity to showcase its brand and platform.
Chairman and CEO of Takung Mr. Di Xiao commented, "We are pleased with the results of the 'double quotes' art exhibition, which was the first time that Takung Online offered its promotion services to promote artists who have listed artwork on the platform. Over the five days of the exhibition, we drew thousands of guests, and the exhibition was featured by several local and national media outlets.
"We were also pleased with artist Qiyao 77's participation in the Hangzhou Cultural & Creative Industry Expo. We were able to help her promote her participation in the expo, and she ultimately received more than 10,000 visitors and sold 68 pieces of artwork."
Takung Online's artist promotion service is available to all artists on the platform as part of its services.
"We believe this service is especially attractive to young artists, who are drawn to Takung because of its reputation for quality artwork and e-commerce capabilities. These artists' fan bases are also young and interested in buying artwork from e-commerce sites such as Takung Online, and with the platform's promotional services, we will be able to attract more fans and customers, which draw in even more artists, their fans, and their customers. We look forward to future engagements with our listed artists and believe that Takung Online's high-quality listings, as well as our ability to deliver a combination of online and offline promotions, differentiate us from other e-commerce platforms while helping drive Takung's long-term growth," Mr. Xiao concluded.
