Contemporary Art Gallery Online is a collector’s number 1 source for all original contemporary art. CAGOnline supports artists through CAGO Media, which has two purposes. First, share art business ideas and, second, to introduce artists to the buying public. CAGO Media accomplishes both of these initiatives by programming radio and TV shows.

The What is Art Show is a monthly 30 minute episode with hosts Michael Harris (art collector) and Sharon Hawkshawe (acclaimed artist), who discuss current art movements and art shows. The hosts are occasionally joined by museum curators, gallery owners, art critics, and art insiders. The third show is An Artist Speaks. These lively 30 minute episodes are in depth interviews with Artists; discussing their art process, philosophy and a candid look at their work. Finally, every month a video is produced showcasing the monthly art participants. Other videos highlight gallery artist and art styles.
