About

WHERE IT BEGAN

Artch was established in 2020 by painter Lucy Kent as an artist-led platform dedicated to promoting art with purpose. We direct a large portion of our sales to artists and charities, challenging the traditional art market paradigm.

“We strive to dismantle art world barriers, ensuring art is accessible to all. We believe in the power of community: and that artists joining their voices collectively can affect meaningful change and have a positive impact on the world around us.’

THE ARTISTS

We're an artist-led platform, and the artist experience is at the core of what we do. We promote more established artists alongside empowering new creators.

Our founder, Lucy, is passionate about curating an eclectic mix of art spanning a variety of media and genres, starting at accessible prices. Our guiding principle is originality with each piece selected to reflect art that Lucy would hang on her own wall.

We focus on championing under-represented minorities, including female artists and creators from varying backgrounds and cultures. We aim to provide equitable art sales for all our artists.

We don’t ask for exclusivity. We foster career progression and future partnerships for our artists within the art world. It is a privilege to work with some of the most exciting artists creating today.

WE'RE ON A MISSION TO

share the power of art for meaningful and lasting change. We believe that spreading the joy of art is beneficial to our well-being, and we’d like to spread it as far and wide as possible.

And the best bit? Every purchase gives back to an ever-changing roster of incredible charities. We’re not about buying stuff for the sake of stuff; we’re all about investing in powerful, emotive art to cherish for generations that support worthy causes across the globe.

We are a tiny team on a mission to make a BIG impact.
