From the Gallery Director
From Vol 2 Issue 4 - July, 2000
Greetings. I would like to let you know about a totally unique program the Millennium Art Gallery has just implemented. It is called the Associates Program, it is totally free and it promises to deliver some incredible benefits to all members.
Our gallery has a mandate to support and nurture creativity around the world. To accomplish this in any meaningful way, we need to build a large international membership base. Our members are artists and individuals who appreciate the arts, and who are prepared to back up their appreciation by purchasing the original works of art and print reproductions we offer for sale on the site.
Our gallery also has a strong interest in supporting worthy community organizations and projects. If you've had a look at some of the back issues of "The Medium" you will have noticed that the gallery has been engaged in community oriented activism since its inception in 1998. We wish to continue this process of supporting, encouraging, promoting and financing these beneficial non-profit community-building ventures around the world.
Our new Associates program will help non-profit organizations in two ways: by providing a unique income generating program, and by free publication and promotion of member organization campaigns in our award-winning online webzine "The Medium".
The beauty of the program is that community groups will be able to help the gallery build its membership base and achieve its primary mandate of supporting and nurturing creative expression. At the same time the gallery is helping them to raise the financial resources and community awareness they need to fulfill their mandates. It is a win, win, win initiative and we will all benefit from it.
How The Fundraising Works
In a nutshell, MAG Associates place a Millennium Art Gallery link logo on their web site, and offer their supporters and guests a "free membership" at the Millennium Art Gallery.
The Associate Program then pays a 10% Referral Bonus on all purchases of artworks made by those who have become MAG members after linking through to our site from their site. This is not a one-time payment, made on a first purchase, but on all purchases made during the life of the membership.
Referral bonuses to Associates can be substantial as artworks on the Millennium site range in price from $65 (sixty-five dollars), for prints and reproductions, up to $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars) for original works of art.
