Why We Collect: The Story, the Strategy & the Market
Join us for the inaugural YSMA Art Market Forum, a dynamic conversation designed to demystify the world of art collecting for emerging collectors, students, and art enthusiasts. This session explores the heart of collecting—identity, memory, legacy—alongside the practical steps of starting a meaningful collection on any budget.
Our panel of respected collectors and a leading gallerist will unpack what drives artistic value today, from substance and storytelling to market forces and trends. Participants will leave with real tools: a personal collecting statement, a first acquisitions plan, and a simple ethics/value checklist to guide future decisions.
Whether you’re curious about art, ready to make your first purchase, or seeking deeper insight into the evolving art market, this Forum offers clarity, inspiration, and a welcoming space to begin your journey.
Join us online or in person for an enriching afternoon of learning, reflection, and discovery at the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art.
