Artist JeannaDart Jeanna Dart Kucherenko talks about a new approach to collaboration between artists and art institutions, such as: art galleries, art fairs, art auctions, museums and of course art collectors.

                                                               “A New Approach to Collaboration in the Art World”

In the art world, the artist is the central figure—the creator, the visionary, the one who defines what art truly means. Without the artist, there is no art. Yet, collaboration between artists and institutions—galleries, art fairs, museums, and collectors—often follows outdated models that do not fully honor the artist’s role.

It is time for a new approach, one where artists take the lead in shaping the future of the art world. Institutions should not dictate the value of art; instead, they should support and amplify the artist’s vision. True collaboration is built on mutual respect, where artists are not just participants but key decision-makers in how their work is presented, valued, and experienced.

By rethinking these relationships, we can create a more dynamic and artist-centered art ecosystem—one that fosters innovation, authenticity, and true creative freedom.
