Collecting art gets under your skin and supporting artists by buying their work is a great way to nurture the wider art scene. However, if you’re interested in building a collection and you’re spending money on art it is a good idea to educate yourself.
Join art consultant Hamish Coney and Starkwhite's Kelly Carmichael for a fun and information filled session offering advice on how to go about buying art and what to look out for.
Topics include:
- How to start an art collection
- Collecting for your home
- Collecting for corporate spaces
- What to look for in an art work
- The difference between art and design
- The difference between buying from an artist vs a gallery or auction house
- How to talk about your art works
- Where to look for and learn about art
- Where to turn to with your questions about art
