Artists make a lot of work. Unfortunately we don’t sell most of it.
The art market is built on a myth of scarcity,
and a highly choreographed limiting of supply.
Since most people can’t afford the high price of art,
a lot of work is left out of sight.
At Zero Art Fair, price does not determine value.
We believe everyone deserves to live with art.
Through Zero Art Fair, visitors can take possession of art without buying it,
becoming art collectors in the process.
Our platform allows artists to give their work away
Without giving up on future sales.
Zero Art Fair is enabled by our contract,
that legally transfers ownership of work after a vesting period of 5 years.
If an artworks transferred through Zero Art Fair is ever sold,
the artist receives 50% of the first sale price.
Our contract grants artists 10% resale royalty rights
on all subsequent sales of the work.
Zero Art Fair is not a substitute for the art market
It’s an experimental intervention into a system that doesn’t serve most artists or art lovers.
Experimentation is expensive, difficult, and rewarding.
Our model relies on support from those who can afford to help others live with art.
We are continuing our work with additional partnerships and are open to new ideas, venues, collaborations, and friends to make Zero Art Fairs happen and more.
