Canadian entrepreneur and photographer Sol Algranti, andInternet developer Gerry Fung, have developed a website to allow artists from allover the world to post and share their photographs, paintings, and artwork withthose who want to decorate their walls for free. Founded 3 years ago in CambridgeOntario, DownloadFreePosters.com is quickly being known as the "YouTube" forartists.

Their objective is accomplished through a website which allows home, apartment,condo owners, and office staff to download and print high quality 8.5" x 11"photographic prints from artists who are eager to exhibit their work. The websitealso provides web surfers with the option to contact the artist directly, in orderto purchase larger print sizes.

"It remains difficult for artists to gain exposure to art galleries, magazines, andother traditional media sources because they are automatically considered amateurs,"explained artist and business owner Sol Algranti, "...but that's the essence ofDownloadFreePosters.com; ordinary artists showcasing their extraordinary work."

The founders of DownloadFreePosters.com, Sol Algranti and Gerry Fung, developed theidea based on their diverse but complementary backgrounds. Sol, a well-respectedbusinessman who was trained as a mechanical engineer, was always interested inphotography and art ever since he received his first camera 45 years ago. Sol wasdrawn towards his art due to the fact that his photography allowed him to expresshimself creatively. The emergence of his artistic flare helped balance his stressfulwork life. Thus, he has always wanted to spread the enjoyment he receives fromphotography to individuals around the globe.

Sol was exposed to the power of the Internet upon meeting Gerry. Gerry, a computerengineer graduate and Laurier MBA student, devised the idea of using the Internet tohelp promote the artwork of lesser-known artists. This, coupled with the publicdemand for free photographic prints, was the basis behind the entire endeavor. ForSol and Gerry, this venture was never considered work, but it was always fun becauseit was in line with their core beliefs.

Both Sol and Gerry believe that the economy is rapidly moving from one thatemphasizes information to one that emphasizes creativity. The new economy alreadyfeatures such leaders as YouTube.com, which is able to combine both technicalexpertise and art. Going forward, DownloadFreePosters.com plans on benefiting fromthe changing economy through the development of its young and creative new minds.
