“90% of the new generation of art collectors don't believe that the art world is welcoming or inclusive. While most describe it positively as inspiring, thought-provoking, enriching, and innovative, they still have their concerns with the art world: 1 in 3 believe the art world is elitist 1 in 4 describe it as pretentious 1 in 5 believe it is intimidating" (Source: Avant Arte, "Collector Report 2024) 🤔 ✨ Embracing the Next Gen of Art Collectors: Without a doubt, it is time for the traditional art market and its participants to begin embracing the next generation of #artcollectors. However, it is also critical to truly understand the differences in their #values, #collectingmotivations, and #buyinghabits. 🔍This new generation is undoubtedly redefining the narrative surrounding #artcollecting. Motivations go beyond mere art appreciation or investment in the pursuit of true #connection and #impact. #Ownership takes on new and varied forms, and status is no longer a primary driving force. Instead, authenticity, personal #resonance, and #socialresponsibility have a significant impact on their collecting motivations. 💡💥In this dynamic environment, adaptation is key. So thank you 🙏 , Avant Arte, for providing such valuable information about today's new collectors, as well as this insightful #report👇, which will undoubtedly contribute to the #sustainability of our industry. 🎇 #nextgenartcollectors #artmarketresearch #report #collectorsperspective #futureofcollecting #knowyouraudience #innovation #artandtechnology #futureoftheartmarket
