Founded in 2001 by multimedia artist THH70, AOA is a visual arts collective that bands together a juried selection of alternative talent. Each AOA artist has signed, sealed and delivered a definitive style that is truly boundless and distinctive. As a collective, AOA has tested the limits of modern culture and defined new standards for the world of visual arts in the areas of:
Every artist associated with AOA has been hand-picked or has gone through a review process to ensure both art and ethics share the organization's "common vein". The result is the ultimate "win-win": our collectors benefit from high service standards and quality alternative artwork... we benefit by strengthing our presence and gaining exposure with untapped audiences.
We want to raise eyebrows. We want to redefine the standards of visual art. We want to win our ongoing battle against fluffy kitten paintings.
We invite you as a collector to immerse yourself in the talented alternative artists that are part of the AOA experience.
We invite you as an artist to submit your work to become a part of an online art revolution.
