What is Matchmaking

Finding the right artwork shouldn't feel intimidating.

Whether you're looking for a statement piece for your home, a meaningful gift, or the beginning of your collecting journey, we'll help you discover original work that feels like it was made for you and your budget.

At Art Unpacked, we spend our time inside artists' studios, at graduate shows, in independent galleries, and building relationships with artists long before they become household names.

We do the scouting; we are in the know—speaking of which: have you signed up for our newsletter? You might be missing out on time-limited studio sales!

1. Tell us what you're looking for

We'll start with a conversation—or even just a few messages. We'd love to know about you, your space, your taste and your budget. Whether you've already got an artist in mind or have absolutely no idea where to begin, we'll meet you wherever you are in your art journey.

2. We curate your shortlist

Drawing on our international network of emerging contemporary artists, we put together a carefully curated selection tailored specifically to you. Every recommendation comes with the story behind it, so you're not only discovering a piece you'll potentially love, but also the artist whose journey you'll be supporting.

3. We take care of the rest

Once you've found the right match, we manage the process from start to finish. We liaise directly with the artist or gallery, facilitate every conversation, coordinate logistics and ensure the acquisition is as seamless as possible.
