Commissioner is a community that brings together locals and some of the most gifted contemporary artists in our cities.

 
 

ABOUT

Artists reimagine our cities. We create more ways to support them.

The art world needs a collaborative approach to collecting art. Through membership, we commission artists, visit artist studios and collector homes, and connect with each other to build a more accessible, artist-invested community.

Supporting Artists in Community

Your membership helps us commission four artists at pivotal stages in their careers per year. Every quarter we announce the artist commissioned to create new original and limited-edition artwork special for our Collector members. The future of collecting art is collaborative and community-led.
