Collect Art, in Community
A collaborative approach to supporting artists.
A collaborative approach to supporting artists.
The art world needs a collaborative approach to collecting art. Through membership, we commission artists, visit artist studios and collector homes, and connect with each other to build a more accessible, artist-invested community.
Your membership helps us commission four artists at pivotal stages in their careers per year. Every quarter we announce the artist commissioned to create new original and limited-edition artwork special for our Collector members. The future of collecting art is collaborative and community-led.

As we celebrate seven years of nurturing an arts ecosystem, Commissioner hosted a meaningful conversation, Collecting Art as Memory Work, with contemporary artist Reginald O’Neal and community historian Nadege Green of Black Miami-Dade at El Espacio 23.
Nestled between a church and an income tax office, Luna Palazzolo-Daboul, our third commissioned artist of Season Seven, welcomed us into Tunnel Projects’ retail-turned-studio and exhibition space to share a poem across 50 unique sculptures.
