The place where emerging artists feel at home
Emerging artists find it difficult and frustrating to make a break. Doors slam shut because they are not “established”, “well known” or “reputable”.
Arum Creative Studios provides emerging artists an opportunity to showcase their work and to be promoted to potential buyers.
Our Values, Mission and Vision
All artists deserve exhibition space
We select works based on potential and not because the artist is “established”
We work with artists to promote their work
We do not believe that high commissions translate into quality representation
Issues experienced by emerging artists
It is difficult to make a name in the primary market
Artists in the primary market need affordable and authentic representation
Artists in the primary market are rejected not because of the quality of their work but because there is a perception that emerging artists are “not good enough”
It takes time to get noticed by potential buyers and investors. Results to not happen overnight.
Unlike artists in previous generations, there are not many kind-hearted benefactors to help build an artist’s reputation
