In an industry often described as the wild west, the art world can be a confusing arena for collectors and artists alike.
We’re determined to bring transparency to the art world. Motivated by talent - not transactions - we have a deep, passionate (sometimes soppy) love for art and artists. So, if you crave a refreshing, honest take on how it all works - the art scene, the market, the world - join Seen…for the love of art.

“I joined a few months ago - for total transparency I know very little about the art world and just very interested in what [Seen does] from afar. It is very cool. Really enjoyed the Art World 101 series and my main aim was quite simple and is just to learn something new. It’s lovely having a glimpse into a world that is so complicated and explained very well!”

“The insight you get, particularly through the artist interviews has helped me better understand the thinking, context and process behind their work. I’m always excited to see what comes next from Carrie and the team!
The WhatsApp group is also a standout (my personal favourite). It’s packed full of useful information and discussion points, without ever feeling overwhelming. Overall, it’s a great balance of learning, access and community, that is not always easy to find!”

Corporate Membership
We believe art makes the world a better place, so while employee benefits like gym memberships, sick pay, bring your dog to work, and flexible working hours are cool, being able to navigate the art world is also pretty fabulous. With a Seen corporate membership your employees can use Seen as part of their professional development.
Worst case, they sound smarter at their next dinner party, best case they can talk to your clients about art in an informed way.
