Tell us about CoCollect. We believe art has the power to positively transform spaces and lives. Our mission is to bring this opportunity to more people by making it easier to intimately experience living with art. We give our members access to museum-caliber artworks but also champion emerging local artists.
What services do you provide? Curated art collections that you can loan or purchase directly from us. Each member is paired with an art advisor who guides them through the collecting journey and provides suggestions for their space. We also offer custom framing, white-glove installation, exclusive education and access to our creative community events.
Any trends you are seeing? Large artwork has been popular for the last few years, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Additionally, abstract works and expressive figuration have been on the rise.
