Promotion
Art FA advocates for the art fund industry by promoting the value of art investment vehicles and their role both in the art market and as a growing component of the alternative investment industry to the investment community, general public, media and art world. Owing to the various restrictions on the marketing and advertising of privately offered investment vehicles, the art fund industry is forced to act largely outside of the eyes of the general public, thereby creating a negative mystique around art funds and their effect upon the art market. Art FA seeks to foster greater understanding, clarity and transparency around the activities of art investment funds and their practitioners. We achieve this goal through Art FA’s:
- provision or sponsorship of educational courses and conferences on art investment funds open to the general public;
- publication of articles and research discussing art investment funds and their governance; and
- informed and balanced communications with scholars, representatives of the global media and public policy makers.
