​Why does Artlune Circle exist?
​
Many people feel a deep connection with art.
They visit exhibitions, follow artists online, and feel moved by the ideas and stories artworks carry. Yet when it comes to actually collecting art, many hesitate.
Not because they lack interest, but because the art world can feel difficult to enter.
​
You might have wondered:
-
Where do collectors discover artists?
-
How do you know which artwork to choose?
-
How do people even begin building a collection?​
The truth is that most collectors start very simply, with curiosity, one meaningful artwork, and the right guidance.
This is exactly why we created the Artlune Collector Circle.
What members receive?
​
For £50 per month (£580 per year), membership is designed to give you both access, understanding and opportunities to experience art more closely, without pressure.
​​
1. An original artwork for your collection
​​
Within the first four months of joining, each member will receive an original A5, exclusively created for the members. Each work is hand-signed by the artist, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.​
These works are not released publicly. For many members, this becomes the first artwork in their personal collection.
​
2. A personal collecting conversation
Members are invited to a one-hour private consultation session with us in which we will talk about:
-
How people begin collecting art
-
How artists develop their practices
-
How artworks are priced
-
How you might approach building a collection
​
There is no pressure to buy anything. The goal is to make you feel more comfortable and informed in the art world.
​
3. Early access to curated artworks
​
Members receive early access to artworks curated by Artlune before they are released publicly.
These works typically range between £1,000 and £10,000, making them accessible for new collectors while still representing serious contemporary practices.
​
Members also receive a 10% collector discount on artworks.
​
4. The Artlune Collector Handbook
​
Members receive a practical guide created to answer many of the questions new collectors often have.
It is written simply and honestly as a guide for people who are just beginning their collecting journey.
​
5. Conversations with artists
Throughout the year, members are invited to small online conversations with Artlune artists.
These sessions allow you to hear directly from artists about:
-
Their ideas and inspirations
-
The stories behind their work
-
How their practice is evolving
For collectors, these conversations often become one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting.
​
6. Invitations to exhibitions and events
Members receive invitations to exhibitions, previews, and discussions organised by Artlune whenever possible.
These moments provide opportunities to experience artworks in person and meet the artists behind them.
Why collect emerging artists?
Many experienced collectors will tell you that discovering artists early in their careers is one of the most exciting aspects of collecting.
At this stage, artists are often exploring ideas with great energy and experimentation. Supporting them can be both meaningful and rewarding.
Through Artlune, collectors are introduced to artists whose practices engage with questions of identity, culture, memory, and contemporary life across South Asia and its diaspora.​​
​
Founding members
We are currently preparing to welcome the first 30 founding members of the Artlune Collector Circle.
These early members will help shape the community as it grows and will receive priority access to future initiatives and artwork releases.
