Mission Statement: EBSQ is an art association whose members represent their own work to the public. Our mission is to foster an active community of independent artists and to provide tools and services to bring our members greater exposure in the art market. EBSQ membership is open - we welcome artists at all stages of their career. All media and styles are welcome.

Current Work
Over the past several years EBSQ has evolved a great deal. We now have members from several countries and representatives from many art disciplines and philosophies. Our community has become a resource that many of our members utilize daily for lively discussions, as a sounding board for works in progress, for news, in-depth critiques, helpful tips (be it marketing or media), workshops, and collaborative opportunities with their fellow members.
History
EBSQ has its early roots in eBay's online art auctions. Originally, the four letter term "EBSQ" was an abbreviation for "e-basquiat," after the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was admired by some of the group's founding artists. However, the real power of the term "EBSQ" was that it's a rarely found combination of letters that helped members' auction listings to "stand out" in the vast sea of reproductions, prints, posters, and big-gallery offerings when collectors searched for that perfect piece of art. Many of our members still auction their work regularly. Our group pioneered the Self-Representing Artists concept - EBSQ was directly responsible for the creation of the Self-Representing Artist category at two major online auction sites: eBay and Bidz.
