ABOUT ART-COLLECTING.COM

Art-Collecting.com has been a trusted online resource for the visual arts community since 1998. Our mission is to provide comprehensive city and state art guides that serve the needs of collectors, galleries, artists, art advisors, and supporting art businesses. Whether you're just beginning your collecting journey or are a seasoned professional, our site is designed to help you navigate the ever-changing art world.

We offer the most thorough and regularly updated online gallery guides available, covering major art cities across the United States, every state, and select international art centers in Europe. These guides feature galleries, museums, and art organizations, along with selected exhibitions, gallery shows, and important local art events—making them an essential tool for planning visits or staying informed remotely. Art-Collecting.com is also a great resource for virtual art walks.

In addition to gallery guides, Art-Collecting.com features valuable content on a wide range of art collecting topics from how to start a collection to working with art advisors, understanding art fair schedules, auction resources, appraisals, and much more. Our goal is to be a reliable, one-stop destination for discovering, learning about, and engaging with the world of fine art.

Our guides were created to help you easily discover and to support art in communities across the country whether you're living there, planning a visit, or just passing through. By clicking on “Art Gallery Guides” in the top navigation, you'll find comprehensive art guides for all 50 states and 37 major U.S. art cities. Each guide is thoughtfully organized by region and includes direct links to galleries, museums, and art spaces, so you can quickly see what's showing and what's going on.

As longtime advocates for the arts, our goal has always been to support the traditional fine art world and those who appreciate it. Much has changed on the Internet since we began, but our dedication to providing useful, reliable online art resources hasn't. If there's any way we can assist you, please let us know we're here to help.
