Our Story + Mission
Artwork Archive is a cloud-based art inventory management system founded in 2010 in Denver, Colorado. As one of the first cloud-based art inventory systems, we have grown to become an industry leader, serving thousands of artists, collectors, and organizations in over 130 countries.
Our mission is to provide artists, collectors, and organizations with the tools they need to efficiently manage their art. We believe that every artist should have the resources to manage, market, and grow their business, and every art collector, whether an individual or institution, should have a way to organize, catalog, and protect their collections.
Inspired by personal experiences, our co-founders, John and Justin, set out to create a solution that addresses the unique challenges faced by artists and collectors. When John's mother, an oil painter, lost years of valuable information about her art career due to a hard drive crash, he realized the need for a secure, cloud-based art management system. Similarly, when Justin's basement flooded, damaging his artworks and leaving him struggling to find receipts and documentation, he discovered the lack of accessible and affordable collection management solutions.
Together, John and Justin developed Artwork Archive to provide a user-friendly, feature-rich platform that caters to the needs of modern-day artists, collectors, and organizations. Our system is designed to be accessible enough for early-stage artists or collectors while being powerful enough for complex organizations managing global collections.
At Artwork Archive, we pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and work closely with our clients to build the best possible art management system for their needs. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability, and actively work to adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
Our tools help you streamline your art management processes, save time, and focus on what matters most – creating, collecting, and promoting exceptional art. Whether you're managing a studio career, art collection, public art program, artist estate, art consultancy firm, foundation, or museum collection, Artwork Archive is here to help you get organized and grow your business.
