ART WORKS Certification

We offer ART WORKS certification for art spaces such as art galleries and cultural institutions. The certification badge signifies commitment to artistic development of the art space and participating artists, boosting its reputation among the audience. The certification proves that the art space has implemented an operational system using the ART WORKS development method based on peer reviews.

The ART WORKS method uses curated topics based on research of aspects which are recognized by art institutions such as museums, art galleries, art foundations, artist residencies, artist grants and art contests. These platforms play an important role in promoting artistic quality by valuing and supporting artists who excel in the selected topics and who are receptive to constructive suggestions for improvement. Thanks to this approach ART WORKS fits in the existing art eco system and forms a platform ensuring sustainable growth for art galleries and artists.

Background

The initial development of ART WORKS started very personally by starting to collect art and talking with artist and galleries during exhibitions, graduation shows and studio visits. The careers of artists differ extremely and are much defined by the own efforts of the artists. While some artists receive fundings and are selected for residencies or exhibitions, others maintain a low profile and do not rely on collaboration with institutions.

Mission

The key inspiration for our mission are the challenges for emerging independent artists to successfully settle in the art world. The ART WORKS development method aims to enable future development of artists by implementing a structured peer review system in the organisation of art institutes and galleries. This method provides feedback from peers, elevates artistic development and gives trust to collectors, increasing audience engagement.
