An offer for art lovers and collectors in your circle
If you believe in our model, support it by spreading the word
Do you have any art lovers or collectors in your circle? Very often we artists don't believe we do but in reality we are surrounded by people who, under the right circumstances and with the right patronage model in place, could be supporting artists and collecting artwork, including our own.
If you believe our patronage model could be a sustainable way for artists to support their practice, help it get off the ground by letting the art lovers and collectors in your circle know about it, giving them the opportunity to support artists and grow their collection.
Invite them to join the Be My Medici Patron Mailing List
