LARGA is a Local Art Gallery that collects artworks frommultiple local artists, which are appraised by artwork specialists,and makes them available for customers. The gallery maintainsseveral copies of an “Art Catalog” in which walk-in customers canbrowse, ask for additional information/questions, and make anoffer. LARGA keeps only the pictures of the artworks in theircatalog (due to the restricted indoor space area), and whencustomers are interested in a piece of art, they need to fill up apurchase interest form. Then LARGA will contact the artist to closea deal, and the warehouse to deliver the artworks to the customer,when that is made available. LARGA keeps track of details aboutartwork as well as its customers’ transactions after purchasing theartwork. This information will help the gallery to get a betterunderstanding of artworks’ types that are likely to match withcustomers’ tastes. The gallery makes money from selling artworksdirectly from artists to customers. A customer is considered as onewho makes an offer to purchase art products. The suppliers would bethe various artists who sell their artwork to/in the gallery. Asthere are millions of undiscovered artworks created by differentartists, LARGA allows customers a one-stopshop for discovering newartwork through the art catalog, clarifying information about theartwork, and purchasing artwork(s). Additionally, the customer canbuy a 12-month subscription for an Art Catalog. The problems ithelps solve is giving customer’s more information about artwork,providing accurate prices for each work. LARGA contacts artspecialists to evaluate/determine prices for each work, and showingcustomers a copy of the artworks, therefore, not having to come tothe gallery every time for viewing. Authenticity by art specialistsalso helps stop art fraud within the community. Regarding thecatalog, all artwork that LARGA has available within the past monthis in the catalog. The catalog is updated monthly, so pieces thathave been sold are removed from the catalog. The catalog normallyhas about 250 pieces of art available in the catalog at once andthe art can be added or removed to the catalog based on when LARGAfeels fit. The art is displayed alphabetically based on theartist’s last name in the catalog and customers can search thecatalog using keywords such as artist name or artwork name, but notby anything else. The price range listed in the catalog is ageneral price displayed by either one, two, three, or four-dollarsigns. Finally, LARGA organizes bi-weekly or monthly expositions inwhich a selected number of pieces art exposed and offered forpurchase at some special price. In any type of artwork transactions(sell/buy), LARGA charges 5% of each transaction side (buyer andartist).
