MANIFESTO
A structured platform for physical art.
Built for artists, galleries and curators who work professionally.
The Context
The digital space has expanded access to contemporary art. However, most online platforms prioritize volume over structure.
Open marketplaces often reduce artworks to listings. Social platforms prioritize visibility over context.
Physical art requires a different approach. It requires documentation, professional clarity and reliable representation.
Our Position
artweco is a curated platform dedicated exclusively to physical artworks.
Participation is application-based. Each artist, gallery and curator is reviewed before approval.
The objective is to build a structured ecosystem where:
- Authorship is clear
- Representation is defined
- Curatorial context is preserved
- Provenance can be documented
artweco does not aim to replace galleries or institutions. It provides digital infrastructure that supports them.
Structure Over Volume
The platform operates with controlled onboarding.
Quality is maintained through:
- Application review
- Profile verification
- Clear role definitions
- Transparent commission structure
Artworks are presented within curated exhibitions rather than unfiltered feeds. This structure ensures professional positioning rather than algorithm-driven exposure.
Physical Works, Documented Digitally
artweco is built for physical artworks: painting, sculpture, mixed media and other tangible formats.
The digital layer supports documentation and verification.
Each artwork can include:
- Technical details
- Exhibition history
- Ownership documentation
- NFC-based authenticity support
Technology is used to strengthen trust, not to replace the object.
