Our Story
A small team based out of Richmond, VA, we are made up of artists, collectors, entrepreneurs, developers, designers and explorers. We built Emergency Arts to give artists, collectors and organizations a better way to manage their art.
We’ve been doing this since 2012 and were one of the first cloud-based art inventory systems. A decade later, Emergency Arts is an industry leader serving thousands of artists, collectors and organizations in over 100 countries.
We work closely with our clients to build the best possible art management system for their needs. Our program is accessible enough for early-stage artists or collectors and powerful enough for complex organizations managing global collections. We pride ourselves in exceptional customer service.
Our Mission
We believe every artist should have the tools 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.
We create systems to help you get organized and save time. Our tools help you efficiently manage a studio career, gallery, art consultancy firm or art collection.
And, Emergency Arts is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We actively work to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
Emergency Arts’s mission is to serve the public through the collection, conservation, exhibition, and interpretation of significant works of art from a broad range of cultures and historical periods, and through the translation of these collections into meaningful educational, aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural experiences for the widest array of audiences.
