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.
Enter Seen
We have three different membership levels, and a group package for you corporate baddies. You choose.
The Seen Friend Tier
For the artist or art enthusiast:
-
A no nonsense round-up of the most important art world news - including exhibition highlights, artist interviews, and industry buzz. No filler here, just substance.
-
Master interviews with some of the biggest names in the industry, as well as deep dives with emerging and overlooked talent. Trust us, these artists can talk.
-
There might not be any regulation in the artworld, but there is some method to the madness and we are here to reveal it. We’re not giving textbook definitions - cause they don’t exist - but we are interested in lifting the veil. You get our unvarnished opinions as well as interviews with industry experts, from curators and gallerists to installers and framers. We might even talk to a shipper or two… but don’t hold us to that.
Use the discount code “Seenster” to get first month of the Friend Tier for free, or save £14 with our annual plan.
The Seen Collector Tier
For the art collector or art world professional.
You get all the benefits of the Seen Friend Tier plus…
-
Real-time notifications for time-critical purchase and waitlist opportunities handpicked by our trusted network of art experts. Don’t worry, it’s on broadcast only.
-
Short form video delivered monthly (unless we’re crazy, stupid excited about a studio visit or an artist we’re just met and have to share before). It’s basically our pick of the month.
-
Shows, exhibitions, fairs, auctions, more – all in one place, and conveniently integrated with Google Calendars. Something we wish we had for years, so we just built it. Now you won’t have an excuse for missing that fair.
-
Yep, we’re talking about a live Q&A with Carrie Scott and other guest speakers. Members participate, interact and shape these lively and sometimes controversial discussions. As these will be on Zoom, don’t worry, we’ll tell you when you’re on mute.
-
Our exclusive directory of emerging artists as well as State of the Art, our list of essential resources including the top shippers, framers, installers, and insurers around the globe.
-
Three to four exclusive invites a year, including exhibition walk throughs, art fair tours and studio visits.
Use the discount code “Bluechip” to get first month of the Collector Tier for free. Or save £80 with our annual plan.

Are you an Uber Collector? Or aspire to be one? Do you look down on mere mortals from your climate controlled freehold?
Join our super exclusive vip double secret patron level, which gives you unprecedented access to all of the above, plus a bunch of stuff we can’t even tell you about. But be prepared to tell us a little about your collection. We will judge.
Membership is £4,000, for a lifetime.
-

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.

For companies based in the UK, curator and art historian Carrie Scott will host a crash course on the art world, as part of the onboarding process. From unraveling basic definitions to identifying the key players we will discuss it all; the role of Museums, large and small; dealers and gallerists; collectors; critics; and we will of course talk about the varied roles of the artist, art advisor, influencer and publicist
