Become a co-owner

What is co-ownership in art?

Art co-ownership is a way to own parts of an artwork without owning the whole piece yourself. This allows multiple people to own an artwork together, thus sharing both the risk and the joy of owning art.

A share on Open Art Market is like owning a small piece of a work of art. Think of it like a puzzle: each piece of art is divided into many small pieces, or “shares”.

Each artwork is bound by an agreement and digitised into a co-ownership, with a set number of shares for sale. Each shareholder is a legal owner of a part equal to their share percentage in the artwork.
