BUSINESS IDEA

ARCADEMI wants to offer new creatives the chance to build up a second leg to stand on in the online world, supporting their presence in the real world and their sales activities at galleries, art fairs, expositions and shops.

ARCADEMI ART
ARCADEMI thinks of itself a the connecting link between young artists and galleries and thus as an entrance card to the art market. In our online gallery, artists from all disciplines have the opportunity to actively draw the attention to their works, or to present themselves to a large audience within the framework of the "Galleries Choice" program. Selected Galleries can present their artists and at the same time discover and contact new talents. ARCADEMI sees itself as a partner for galleries and artists and represents the missing link between up-and-coming talents and collectors, art lovers, galleries and companies.

ARCADEMI DESIGN
ARCADEMI promotes the self-marketing activities of small producers and students from all design disciplines. We showcase unique, original objects with a soul reflecting currants in contemporary design. We thereby give young designers the chance to present themselves among like-minded people and equally talented designers and to sell their objects.

If you want to become a part of ARCADEMI you need to meet the website’s quality standards. This concept guarantees that the context of works presented and offered for sale remains consistently high.

The ARCADEMI Story

Change the world, it needs it“ (Berthold Brecht)

ARCADEMI was born out of a necessity and its creative fulfillment in 2008: Many young artists and designers leaving the college or the academy fall into a vacuum where they need to hold out for two or three years before becoming known to an interested audience, possibly finding customers, founding a label on their own or being presented in a gallery. Communication Designer Moritz Firchow and Industry Designer Ina Yamaguchi didn’t have the time to wait this long however: A community for like-minded people, to find interdisciplinary inspiration, and a platform to professionally market exclusive, high quality art and design objects by newcomers was needed – offering fair prices, designed, operated and run by professionals form the areas of design, art, law, economics, press and PR – a gap in the market which became visible the very moment it was closed. Most platforms presenting and marketing design and art only cover specific disciplines, unprofessional entries dilute the quality, or they lack specific marketing tools required for young designers and artists. Highly educated newcomers can hardly relate to such offers. ARCADEMI on the other hand represents an institution where new art and design objects are selected, presented and marketed in so proficient a way that talented artists and designers as well as lovers of art and design can rely on this best-of-class offer of contemporary works.
Within one year ARCADEMI designed the website and built up a professional network including an interdisciplinary advisory board which guarantees an ever high level of quality of works and objects presented by ARACDEMI. Innovative art instead of washed-out ideas, young design instead of old hats – ARCADEMI has provided the frame.
