Art Attack

By Michelle Prather

Do you admire art from afar but feel you lack the art history knowledge to be part of the esteemed "art world?" Pish posh! The Carlyle Collection in San Diego lets distributors offer high-brow art at a low cost with its re-creations of the world's most beloved paintings, such as Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" and Klimt's "The Kiss."

The Carlyle Collection color-corrects a transparency of the original painting, an artist enhances it with brushstrokes you can actually see and feel, and a re-creation is born. Each re-creation comes in a custom-made frame, finished with hand-applied gold or metal leaf, that displays the painting's title, artist and date.

Distributors of The Carlyle Collection can earn commissions of $50 to $200 per re-creation without recruiting others. Another option is to build a nationwide sales organization by certifying a "virtual gallery" and sponsoring two distributors. Increased sales in each branch of your virtual gallery result in residual income and bonuses.

The start-up cost of The Carlyle Collection business opportunity is less than $350 and includes one or two framed re-creations, depending on size; three portfolios; a training manual; policies and procedures; artist and painting reviews; brochures; applications and order forms. The opportunity is open to part- or full-time distributors who can devote at least 10 hours per week to the business, which can be run from home.
