Artsy founder Carter Cleveland writes in The Wall Street Journal that "the Internet provides a medium for both music and art to reach anyone with an Internet connection—and therefore holds the promise of a future where art is as ubiquitous a part of culture as music is today."

Cleveland gives six predictions about the future of art. One, there will be many more galleries.

"Some 71% of collectors and 88% of dealers regularly buy and sell art via digital image (sight unseen), and on Artsy we see an average distance between buyer and seller of over 2,000 miles,' says Cleveland.
