We believe that collecting should be as fulfilling and impactful as possible; an exercise that allows individuals to gain knowledge, build community and ensure a legacy for the artworks in their possession.
Through experience at leading institutions, commercial galleries, with private and corporate collections and international artists, the CURA Art team fully understands the intricacies of navigating the arts eco-system as a collector. Having led courses and talks on the subject of Collecting to an international audience, including an ongoing partnership with Christie’s Education, our experience has taught us the importance, impact and potential of providing accessible and meaningful educational content for those collecting or considering doing so.
We believe that collectors, at all stages, should have access to unbiased, trustworthy and up-to-date information and provide education and a support system for them to realise their potential as steward, patron and philanthropist.
We collaborate with partners to host events, talks and tours in order to inspire and encourage open discussion on the role of the collector in the 21st century. The aim is to de-mystify the world of collecting, explain the possibilities and responsibilities of being a collector, and to provide guidance in an often-overwhelming sector.
