C-lective’s Perspective
We’re doing things differently by taking the best of the fine art world and making it work better for artists and collectors alike.
Prioritizing Artists
We support artists more directly & fairly than traditional avenues are able to. We prioritize their financial stability with majority sales splits, a community-driven royalty system, & by inviting them to become partners in our company. We also provide grants to support their creative practice; the making matters just as much as the masterpiece.
Growing Community
Our members connect with artists at every stage of their career through intimate, complimentary events like studio visits, artist talks, & behind-the-scenes gatherings that offer a true insider experience, the kind usually kept behind the red rope. Unlike most galleries, we prioritize personal relationships that foster lasting connection.
Reimagining Relationships
C-lective helps art enthusiasts become true insiders and patrons by cultivating meaningful relationships between artists and collectors, making the art world more equitable. While you connect with the artists personally, you also experience their work in a more intimate way, as it finds a home with you in your own personal, rotating gallery.
“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
