Our Story
MRKT is an art-selling platform that allows for meaningful procurement of unique works of art from emerging creatives of the global majority.
We support our artists by providing a seamless experience for art enthusiasts to discover their incredible talent. It is our hope that this initiative confronts ‘elitist’ characteristics often associated with the buying and selling of art, and therefore invites a more inclusive earnings bracket to the field. We want to be the jumping platform for young, upcoming artists of colour to launch themselves into the “art world”.
