What is Cohart?
Welcome to Cohart! We're here to bring the $65 billion art market online in a way that's both innovative and community-driven. On the backend, we provide a comprehensive platform for artists, advisors, and buyers to manage their art businesses smoothly. On the front end, our AI-powered search engine connects you within a vibrant marketplace for buying, selling, and trading art.
What makes Cohart special?
Cohart stands out because we’re more than just an art marketplace—we’re a network that connects key players in the art world in a way no other platform does. Here’s how we’re different:
- Artists: Many artists use Instagram to build their network and make sales, but traditional galleries and marketplaces often take a hefty commission and limit your access to buyers. With Cohart, you can integrate Instagram’s growth potential with our specialized tools, allowing you to manage your business and community all in one place.
- Collectors: If you’re tired of managing your collection with physical documents, Cohart offers a digital-first solution. You can showcase, share, and even resell your art while staying up-to-date with your favorite artists.
- Advisors/Gallerists: While some platforms help you manage inventory, they often don’t connect with the broader art community. With Cohart, you can maintain relationships with both collectors and artists, curate art with our AI tools, and receive real-time feedback from clients.
- Buyers: If you’ve found traditional art platforms too transactional, Cohart offers a more engaging and personalized experience. Discover art in a way that’s social, interactive, and tailored to your tastes.
Why is Cohart important?
We’re here to change the game for artists and art buyers.
Many galleries and marketplaces charge high commission fees and don’t allow artists to connect directly with buyers. As a result, artists often rely on Instagram for business but lack tools for managing high-value sales. Cohart fills this gap by offering mobile storefronts that integrate with your social media profiles, allowing for easy transactions and community engagement. We have a nominal transaction fee and provide features like email and CRM systems to help you stay connected with your audience.
We also enhance the art-buying experience, whether you’re an experienced collector or a newbie. For seasoned buyers, we offer sophisticated, AI-driven recommendations and exclusive collections tailored to your refined tastes, ensuring a fresh and engaging experience. For those new to buying art, our platform is designed to be approachable and informative, guiding you through discovering and understanding different styles and artists at your own pace. We celebrate your unique taste and make art discovery both enjoyable and personalized.
