Artmoney is original art that works as a global alternative "currency" or barder object.

The purpose of Artmoney 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 world wide 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 as such function as a human link across cultural, racial, linguistic, political and religious barriers in the pursuit of a peaceful world.

The price of art money is the same for all regardless of the name of the artist. Artmoney is an attractive collector’s item as they are original works of art at a small cost, and there is no two art money alike. The same fixed size makes it easy decorate the wall of a home with various expressions. Weather you choose a pattern of order or chaos, the fixed size can collect all works in a uniform impression. Collecting artmoney is also a fun investment. The purchasing value of artmoney is already set, so you can spend them again, if you like to get rid of them. Also there is a chance that some artists will be worth more as "art" and acquire a much higher price on the free market.

Artmoney in English
 The web site is written in English only in order to manage the ongoing editing and development of the concept. Our own nature tongue is Danish, not English. The English on this site will be kept in a simple language to suit the general public around the world. Maintaining the English of our own capacity makes it fast and inexpensive to maintain the site and we believe it is easy for non native English speaking people to understand a low level language as the one we present. We ask users to respect this request and write the English language to the best of ability in communicating on the Artmoney site. We hope that limiting the choice of language to one will enable people from different countries to understand each other better.
