Seven reasons why you should invest in art by emerging artists

Looking into emerging artists is a great way to familiarize yourself with the field of contemporary art when you are new to it. This will allow you to get acquainted with a field that might seem very daunting at first. The art world is filled with magnificent work and you are about to embark on a fabulous journey.

One of the primary goals of investing in an emerging artist is to explore the art world from new angles. You might find a hidden treasure that is within your budget that will become as famous as Banksy’s Girl with Balloon. Talk about getting a return on your investment!



Investing in art without breaking the bank

You don't need to have Rockefeller's fortune to invest in art! Contrary to many preconceived ideas, the art market is accessible to all budgets, especially when you invest in emerging artists. It is true that art by emerging artists is less expensive so why not seize the opportunity? Artists that are just stepping onto the scene have not made a name for themselves yet so their work is sold at lower prices. It is up to you to do some research and the find artist whose work speaks to you.



Supporting new artists

Deciding to support emerging artists by investing in their art gives these creators a chance to make a living with their art. Regardless of their age, emerging artists are often at the beginning of their career and may have just put themselves through expensive universities. They are hoping to make a place for themselves in the art scene as a professional. At the end of the day, the mark of a true artist is their success within the art market.



Taking part in a growing trend

Collectors follow emerging artists for a reason. That is why Artalistic - one of the leading platforms for purchasing contemporary art online - gives maximum exposure to fascinating artists in search of recognition by creating a carefully curated section dedicated to their work.



Achieving a return on investment

Discovering an emerging artist before anyone else while contributing to their success can be very rewarding. This humanistic standpoint coupled with the chance of possibly making money on your investment makes this a very interesting endeavour.

If you have a gut feeling about a piece you should take the plunge! You might be rewarded beyond your expectations!



Follow an emerging artist’s career

Supporting emerging artists can also bring you a little bit of joy knowing that you are taking part in their adventure. Once you find a young artist whose work you would like to invest in you will hopefully follow their career and path to success. You may be able to look back and remember chatting with them at one of their first small solo exhibitions. A few years down the road you might be pleasantly surprised to hear that a big auction house is trying to snatch up all of their work while you smile to yourself knowing that that artist has always held a special place in your heart.
