Introducing You to Our New Website

After months of planning, it is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our re-launch and new website!

Expanding our mission of building connections through art, Zamaana has become a system of combined initiatives for art and social change. We believe that the dynamic energy around art can be used as a tool to empower and uplift others. Our method is simple: We dedicate a percentage of each sale as microloans to individuals in developing nations - connecting artists, collectors, and those in need of financial support around the world.

We continue to introduce you to exciting international artists and have redesigned the website with a renewed focus on the unique user experience. In our efforts to offer full service through our site, we now provide:

• Access to original, fine art created by artists around the world
• Direct and safe purchasing from our secure site
• Transparent pricing for viewers to easily browse and buy artworks according to budget
• Personal audio stories written by the artists themselves to gain insight to the personality behind the works
• Room visualizers to show the true scale of each artwork

We will soon be adding more features to offer an even more personal experience. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback and suggestions of what you would like to see in the future.

We invite you to experience the new website and join us in the movement of art for social change. We thank you for your support and are excited to move along this new direction with you!
