    同时我们设有每月更新的在线展览栏目，也实现了和实体画廊一样的，包含了展览前言、深度的作品分析在内的专业性的主题展览。我们推出这一栏目的在于，就现当代艺术市场的发展趋势，推荐具备当代性、原创性、及升值潜力的作品，并对其进行深度、
专业的介绍，以引导买家，藏家的消费方向。未来这一栏目还将发展为在线拍卖。
2、新闻更新和艺术评论
    我们遍布世界各地的团队成员，会第一时间收集来自世界各地的有关中国当代艺术家的各种展览及艺术活动，并在网站上以新闻的形式发布出来。我们还有专门的艺术批评栏目，收集了当代艺术学界著名批评家撰写的有关我们网站上有介绍和展示的艺术家及艺术作品批评文章，这些都将成为您收藏中最有价值的参考信息。

我们的优势
1、有升值潜力的第一手艺术作品来源
    Artdepot上的作品全部是直接与艺术家签约代理的第一手艺术作品，加之在线销售所节约的成本，我们的销售价格要比实体画廊低30%-50%。
2、艺术品交易最佳价格区间
    根据业界权威的数据来源，当代艺术作品交易量最大的区间是$2000--$10000, 而Artdepot的作品价位，80%以上均在此区间范围内。
3、作品极具升值潜力
    与我们有作品签约代理关系的艺术家，主要是有良好艺术教育背景的，出生于1970年代的中国优秀年轻艺术家，其作品从当代性和独创性看，都有很高的价值。（现在得到世界认可的中国艺术家，例如，蔡国强，艾未未，张晓刚，王广义，岳敏君等，在90年代作品刚刚进入市场的年龄段，同样是在30-40岁。历史证明，艺术家的这个年龄阶段，是其艺术创作的旺盛期，也是其作品收藏性价比最高的年龄段。）我们所做的，就是将这些优秀艺术家的作品推荐给世界各地的藏家。
3.、国际性专业艺术经营团队
    我们的团队主要由两部分组成：一部分来自艺术行业，成员分布在中国、美国、日本、意大利等地，有着广阔的国际文化视野，对艺术市场有着敏锐的洞察力，以往的销售实例证明我们拥有中国一流的当代艺术品经营能力；另一部分网络运营及技术成员，是中国及美国最早一批IT业精英人士，成功运营和建立了卓越、爱卡等中国多个优秀网站，（由于其卓越的市场前景现已被美国上市公司收购）。相信我们的团队，会为中国当代艺术在世界的传播贡献一份力量。
