The Broken Art Market
The Art World Has a Discovery Problem.

Art schools teach students how to develop their creative practice, but many leave without learning how to market themselves, connect with collectors, or sell their work. Meanwhile, aspiring collectors are searching for original artwork but have no simple way to discover emerging artists before they become established.

of student artists said they need more help selling their work.
71%
said their school did not adequately prepare them to sell their artwork.
72%
of sneaker collectors said they would consider collecting original art if they better understood the process.
