Our Story
Artsy was founded in 2009 by Carter Cleveland, a computer science student with a passion for art and a vision to make it more accessible. What began as a platform to help people find art online has grown into the largest art marketplace of its kind.
Today, over 3.4 million collectors and enthusiasts use Artsy to browse, learn about, and purchase works from the most respected names in contemporary and modern art. We’re proud to support the full spectrum of the art world—from major fairs and blue-chip galleries to independent artists and new buyers.
Our goal hasn’t changed:
To open the art world to everyone, everywhere.

What We Do
Make the art world accessible through expert curation, editorial content, and personalized recommendations.
In a fragmented industry, Artsy brings everything together, giving you the tools to make living with art easy, inspiring, and inevitable.

Our Team
Our team includes engineers, editors, designers, advisors, and art lovers from around the world—united by a shared belief that art should be part of everyday life.
