What is Art Fix?
Art Fix gets you into art. Our mission is to democratise and demystify contemporary art by telling the stories behind your favourite works and bringing you closer to the realm of collecting and enjoying art. By connecting you with established, and up-and-coming artists, block-buster museum shows and the best art fairs, we are your personal guide through the contemporary art world.
Originally created with the intention of empowering friends, and friends of friends, to understand and form opinions about the art world, Art Fix’s initial online learning platform has transformed into a buzzing community of like-minded art lovers. Through city-guides, podcasts, exciting episodes, artist talks, and studio visits we’ll help you manoeuvre all the questions you may have about contemporary art. We’re here to give you that ‘fix,’ because art is best enjoyed when understood.
Art Fix enables you not only to become a true art connoisseur, but also jumpstarts your own art collection. Our series of limited edition prints allows our members to launch their collections without breaking the bank, because art should be accessible to everyone.
Ingrid
Heideman
After her career in fashion, Ingrid began collecting art together with her husband. Inspired by contemporary art, Ingrid started the Instagram account @artwithgrid, a passion project where she writes about the stories behind the artworks she encounters. Weary of the academic and closed-doors conversation surrounding art, Ingrid wanted to disrupt this inaccessibility and help bring the insights and secrets to more people
Ingrid’s favorite artist right now:
“My favorite artist at the moment is JR – instead of just talking about making the world a better place, he uses his art to literally do so. On the streets and in museums, JR uses human interaction and activism in a gentle, but compelling and persuasive way. Eye-catching, humorous, daring, caring, and challenging, but always respecting culture with a lot of emotional intelligence.”
Yvette
van Caldenborgh
It were those visits to New York with her dad in the 80s – think Studio 54, Andy Warhol and Leo Castelli — that formed the basis of a lifelong love for contemporary art. After completing her masters in art history, Yvette realized how much the art world is enriched by storytelling. It has the power to bring artworks to life. Alongside her role as a board member of museum Voorlinden, Yvette wants to share her passion for contemporary art through Art Fix.
Yvette’s favorite artist right now:
“My favorite artist?! I have so many. But if I have to give two it would be Antony Gormley of course… he is the best storyteller I know and Njideka Akunyili Crosby. I love it that her work is intimate and personal. So many stories are coming to life in her collage paintings. It gives us a glimpse into her world and she is a real family (wo)man like myself.”
Tara
Advaney
Having grown up with contemporary art all around her, Tara knew that art would find her one way or another in her life: though she could never have imagined that she’d be helping two amazing women bring the contemporary art world to life through online episodes. When Tara’s not ‘Art Fixing,’ she’s helping grow businesses on Facebook and Instagram.
Tara’s favorite artists right now:
“My favourite works are Gideon Rubin’s “White Shirt”, and Eva & Adele, the living bald couple that frequent art fairs around the world. Talk about artworks that come alive. The best thing about the art world is its unpredictability; I wish more parts of life were like that.”
