The interactive Artevo.com website allows customers to place their artwork into rooms and to change the color of the walls, flooring and furniture, to allow for a better representation of the artwork, before they make their final selection.

"Our ability to participate as a fine art supplier to the Aeroplan Rewards program is a key way to expand the Artevo brand in Canada", said Greg Rodda, Vice President and COO of Artevo.

"We are continuously looking to expand our portfolio of rewards in new directions that will excite and encourage our members to use their miles," said Nathalie Belanger, General Manager, Rewards Management, Aeroplan. "Aeroplan welcomes Artevo to our non-air rewards portfolio which showcases approximately 600 exciting specialty, merchandise, and experiential rewards."

Artevo also today announced the planned opening of its latest art gallery in the brand-new Santa Monica Place near Los Angeles, California in the fall of 2009.

Just steps from the famous Santa Monica Pier, Artevo has signed on with the Macerich Group for a high profile location in this luxury brand shopping complex. Set to open in the fall of 2009, Artevo is anxious to open a gallery in the United States. "We have been in the market and have tested our concept carefully over the past three years, and we are now ready to move into our expansion phase and roll out our virtual gallery concept in key strategic locations world wide," says Christopher Talbot, President and CEO, Artevo.

"Artevo's compelling new concept - an interactive approach to bringing customers a worldwide market of artists and art works - is a wonderful fit with our new, open-air retail destination, Santa Monica Place," says Anne Singleton, Vice President, Leasing, for Macerich. Macerich is a leading owner, manager and developer of major retail properties in the United States.

The 2,100 sq.ft. location is set to open in the fall of 2009 with the grand opening of the centre. With over 4,000 choices of pre-selected art works at their fingertips, customers can expect to relax in a gallery environment, and work in private with Artevo consultants or their own designers in a comfortable setting.

"The technology driven virtual gallery is fun to use and is both educational and informative and with our unique art placement programs, getting access to fine art has never been easier," says Greg Rodda, Vice President and COO of Artevo. "It really is a one stop shop for art for your entire home or office." A highly organized selection of International credentialed art, knowledgeable service, and technology are the cornerstones of the Artevo galleries.

Christopher Talbot, Artevo's President and CEO, states, "Our vision is to be the next global luxury brand, being the conduit that connects the best living artists with our customers worldwide".

Artevo Corporation is pleased to announce the appointments of Mr. Charles Burgess and Mr. John R. Houghton to its board of directors, subject to regulatory approval, replacing Mr. Dale Gillespie and Mr. Jim Joseph who had just resigned from the board. Artevo wishes to thank Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Joseph for all their efforts and wish them the best in the future.

"The appointment of Mr. Burgess and Mr. Houghton will ensure the company will continue to benefit from a diversity of experience and opinions and we feel they will provide superior guidance to management in order to optimize shareholder value," says Christopher Talbot, President and CEO.
