Credit is a new project designed to investigate and mitigate the intensifying commercial and economic pressures faced by emerging galleries and arts organisations.
The conditions created by rising living and business costs, the concentration of capital at the top of the art market, the art market’s integration into the global financial system are rapidly changing both how art and artists operate.
We’re interested in emerging economies and ecologies that can positively impact the way art is made, bought and sold and help sustain a flourishing and broadly accessible art scene.
Credit launches with a one-day symposium on Saturday 30th November, held at Central Saint Martins in London.
The event is free and open to the public. Advance booking is, however, essential. To book free tickets please click here:
