Problem

Getting involved in the art world is near impossible if you are not born an insider.


From having to attend parties, to being very wealthy, or well networked in the art space, today’s art world does not cater to the uninitiated.

"Is it wrong to say that I don't like any pieces in this exhibit?"

Art newcomer, Stanford grad, LACMA exhibit disliker

Early Design Process

"In terms of monetization, everyone (Artsy, brick & mortar galleries) is competing for the point of sale only.


Fleur is securing the entire art discovery journey - the years of courting and engagement before that sale even happens, and ultimately the sale of the work as well."
