Novica.com explores remote regions across the globe. Its customers can view the faces of fascinating artisans, read about their lives, learn about the meaning behind their works, and select from more than 8,500 unique, handmade works of art. NOVICA has had a profound impact on the lives of many artisans. Many artists have been able to overcome the economic challenges felt in developing regions of the world, and have been able to concentrate and work full time as artists.
According to a Reuters story by BrazilMax’s friend Shasta Darlington, Novica.com offers “very competitive prices.”
Despite those discounts, Novica appears to represent fair trade incarnate. Luiz Antonio Lopes was fetching between $300 and $400 for his paintings on NOVICA, “at least $100 more than he would make in Rio de Janeiro's trendy Ipanema beach district,” wrote Shasta.
