Decoding Our Online Exclusive Collections
AND HOW THE B-SIDE BY LAMONTÉ FRENCH WORKS

At its heart, an Online Exclusive Collection is more than just a group of artworks brought together on a digital dais.
These online collections cater to the true aficionados, those ardent fans and passionate patrons who, for reasons of distance, time, or circumstance, might not step into the physical space where the artwork is shown. It's an opportunity to own a piece of the artist's soul, an original work that speaks directly to them, unfiltered, unabridged, and undeniably authentic.

Distinction from Regular Artist Releases
Limited by Design:
The beauty of an Online Exclusive Collection is not just in the pieces it presents, but in the limited number it offers. Unlike the usual art prints, which may be mass-produced and available in large numbers, these collections are curated with precision. For example, take the case of our 28-piece collection by the revered artist, LaMonté French. Each piece is a stand-alone story, waiting to be explored and cherished. And because each piece is original, and there are only a set number of them, they hold a rarity that's undeniably special.
A Rolling Release:
What's more intriguing about our Online Exclusive Collections is the manner in which they are unveiled. Instead of launching an entire collection all at once, we've opted for a staggered release. This allows art enthusiasts ample time to engage themselves in each piece, understand the artist's perspective, and if desired, make an acquisition. Furthermore, it generates a sense of anticipation and excitement for what's coming next. This periodic unveiling means that those keen on acquiring a piece can gear up, both mentally and financially, for the next wave of releases.

The Delicate Balance: Accessibility vs. Exclusivity
The Exclusivity of Ownership: While this digital shift has made viewing universally accessible, acquiring and owning a piece from these collections comes with its own prestige. The open viewing experience is juxtaposed against the selectivity of ownership. With only a limited number of artworks available, each buyer isn’t just purchasing art; they're securing a unique chapter from an intricate narrative crafted by the artist. This duality—of widespread viewing and exclusive ownership—adds a multi-layered richness to the art experience. It's a testament to the evolving dynamics of art in the digital era, where viewing is for all, but ownership remains a celebrated privilege.
The Evolving Art of Acquisition
As the curtain rises on a new collection, it simultaneously sets on its predecessor. Unsold pieces from one release are gracefully retired when a new set emerges, amplifying the allure of each artwork's limited availability.
Insider's Insight:
In our pursuit to nurture a close-knit circle of connoisseurs, we offered a handful of art enthusiasts a golden ticket to preview the first release of the B-SIDE: a sneak preview of our imminent collection, well ahead of its grand public revelation.
Why this preferential treatment, you may wonder? It isn't about favoritism or elitism but rather a vision. We're fostering a community that's not just a passive observer but an active participant in the ever-evolving narrative of LaMonté French and Alise Art Group Artist. This select group, always at the forefront continues in their shared support of our ongoing missions.
For our second releases, however, we will not host another private - in person - viewing. We will allow anyone to join the waiting list to preserve the essence of this intimate experience. We're deliberate in our approach to limit the supply of those who can join this coveted waiting list. Not as a gatekeeping tactic, but to ensure that the experience remains personal, immersive, and meaningful.
By maintaining this balance, we're able to create a space that's both exclusive and enriching, a sanctuary for those truly invested in the art's journey.
To maintain the intimacy and exclusivity of this experience, only the first 50 requests to join the waitlist will be honored for the remaining releases.
