Pay What You Wish

WHAT IF…

• Access to original artwork was redistributed 

• a community of collectors rooted in mutual support was encouraged 

• and an exploration of alternative art economies where value is shared was vigorously pursued

 

Over the past months we’ve watched as the art market groaned through anxiety, contraction and distraction. We have never felt a firm fit of our work within a capitalist encapsulated economy. Like a round peg in a square space, there have been many points where the fit is uncomfortable, disagreeable, discouraging. In general, artists have long bartered with one another, traded work, created exchanges outside of the monetary economy. Many of us have heard the phrase from many people…if only I could afford one of your pieces.

HOW IT WORKS

Art should live in the world—not only where resources concentrate.

​You choose the price (within a range) that feels accessible and honest for you.

This is an experiment in trust, care, and shared value — an invitation to collect art without financial barriers.

Future expansions may include a community art coop and rotating collections, allowing artworks to move through many homes and lives.
