MADISON, WI — (Marketwire) — 03/06/13 — Nowhere does a reliable means of delivering digital media to represent your brand accurately matter more than the art world. At the end of 2012, the International Folk Art Market – Santa Fe chose Widen Enterprises- Media Collective DAM software, making it Widen-s first software customer in the art space.
“Widen-s digital asset management product offered a perfect solution for organizing our ever expanding and important archive of art, event, and artist images,” said Kelly Waller, director of enterprise and marketing at the International Folk Art Market – Santa Fe.
With its decades of experience and expertise — not just in software, but also in photography, color correction and other important aspects of digital media, Widen is the best qualified DAM provider to provide the knowhow and attention to detail that the Folk Art Market needs.
“Being able to work with a group like the International Folk Art Market – Santa Fe is just plain cool,” said Widen CEO Matthew Gonnering. “They-re a nonprofit, which always makes providing our expertise fulfilling on a different level. They-re entrepreneurial, which means we have that much of our Widen culture in common with them. And they-re in the art world, which adds a new, exciting dimension to this relationship.”
The benefits of the Folk Art Market-s use of DAM go beyond branding consistency. The nonprofit-s image library ultimately serves to preserve history as well.
“The International Folk Art Market – Santa Fe celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2013. Over the years, we have obtained an incredible collection of folk art images, many of which document artistic traditions that are at risk of disappearing. With Widen-s product we will be able to build upon this unique archive well into the future,” said Folk Art Market Coordinator Staci Golar, who coordinates all of the logistical elements necessary to produce the International Folk Art Market.
The Folk Art Market team brought Widen into the fold just in time to get an update to Media Collective 6.3, which is being rolled out this month. Because Widen solutions are pure Software as a Service, there are no installations, no downloads, no upgrades needed to ensure customers always have the latest, greatest DAM system Widen has to offer.
The International Folk Art Market – Santa Fe is a results oriented entrepreneurial 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that provides a venue for master traditional artists to display, demonstrate and sell their work. It is now the largest international folk art market in the world, and its success led to Santa Fe-s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.
