    about the artwork

    The artwork on our website is provided from member artists, galleries, dealers and collectors nationally. Our artist and gallery members are approved based on quality and originality.  Our goal is to provide a wide selection of quality work for any taste or budget while not limiting opportunities for the artists or buyers.

    We also have selected works located at our showroom and for viewing and purchasing in person.




    company background


    In 2004, Alan Kircher launched Artwork Network in Denver, Colorado, as a business art rotation company with the mission of helping artists get their work out of their studio and into the community. Initially offering art rotation in coffee shops and other small venues, this service has expanded to larger restaurants and corporate spaces.

    In 2005 AN introduced a fully functional web site artworknetwork.net to fulfill our vision of connecting physical art and the internet expanding the audience of artists, galleries and dealers on a national level.  Our goal is to be the primary resource for artists needing a web presence and buyers looking to purchase art.

    In late spring 2005, AN opened its� showroom in the Denver�s Art District on Santa Fe after a need was recognized to provide a primary location to showcase selected art to designers, collectors, businesses and more. The showroom has since moved around the district several times to increasingly larger spaces in order to accommodate the growing business.  We currently occupy two buildings.  Our 9th and Santa Fe location includes a 1500 sq. ft showroom as well as the Artwork Network Underground Studios, a 3000 sq. ft basement with artist work studios. 

    Our adjacent location at 855 Inca Street is Artwork Network Studios on Inca Street with 4800 sq. ft. of additional artist work studios and a gallery space. We typically display a variety of artists work on a monthly basis with a large amount of traffic coming through on First Friday, the monthly art walk at the ArtDistrict. 

    In addition to being known by thousands of buyers and collectors nationally, we are becoming a well known brand in the artist, gallery and dealer community and are positioning the company for expansion of our services into other markets throughout the US.
