Art FA seeks to become a leading voice for the art fund industry and in doing so, provide its members with the ability to educate the investment community, general public, media and art world regarding art investment vehicles and their role both in the art market and as a growing component of the alternative investment industry.
Art FA is also committed to helping the public through the operation of its charitable foundation, Art Funds Give Back, which through the generosity of Art FA’s members is able to support non-profit agencies dedicated to the promotion of art education in primary and secondary schools throughout the United States.
