Connecting the Dots - First Issue
Welcome to the first issue of Connecting the Dots, a new insight series by Artenim Consulting.
Our goal is to connect key players - artists, collectors, institutions, policymakers - and provide insights to foster a more inclusive and sustainable art ecosystem.
1. How Artenim Consulting empowers artists from Africa and its diaspora
Artenim Consulting was born from a passion for art and a commitment to strategically position museum-quality works by African and diaspora artists in collections around the world.
As a boutique firm, our mission is to guide collectors and institutions through the evolving landscape of African art, connecting the dots between heritage, contemporary expression, and lasting impact.
2. How we reshape the Art Ecosystem
Contemporary African Art continues to captivate global audiences with its vibrant expressions of identity, heritage, and social themes. The art market and diaspora communities are responding, supported by an expanding network of galleries, fairs, and auction platforms showcasing this dynamic art form.
We are dedicated to more than just building collections. Here’s how we drive change:
Supporting the growth of cultural institutions while considering local contexts
Shaping policies that foster sustainable growth across the sector
Strategically placing museum-quality works of art in private and corporate collections worldwide, enhancing artistic visibility
By fostering these foundations, we aim to cultivate a transparent and inclusive industry where the contributions of creatives are not only recognized, but also safeguarded.
