Instagram Picks: affordable art galleries to follow
@medium_room
Medium Room is a treasure trove of vintage and antique art, which is as well-priced as it is characterful. Founder Natalie Williams regularly posts her latest finds – you’ll have to be quick if something catches your eye though.
@riseart
Square after square of intriguing artworks make up the Instagram profile of Rise Art. It offers a brilliantly diverse range of works by emerging and mid-career artists, as well as an art rental service for those who aren’t quite ready to commit.
@wallofartcom
Scroll down the feed of Sweden-based Wall of Art for a covetable selection of prints, created from original artworks by emerging artists. The online gallery also posts plenty of ideas on how to display art in an interior – ideal if you’re lacking inspiration.
@theartregister
Founded by Lizzie Dixey, The Art Register provides an art sourcing service, working mainly with up-and-coming artists. The Instagram feed is just as fantastic as its offering, arranged into trios of related artworks.
@papercollective
Another Scandinavian name to follow, Paper Collective produces limited edition prints based on works by designers, artists and illustrators from across the world. A portion of the profits from each print goes towards a charitable endeavour – currently this is helping to build a school in rural Nepal.
@theauctioncollective
Determined to demystify the world of auctions, The Auction Collective champions work by underrepresented and emerging artists through its accessible platform. Best of all, bids can start at as little as £50.
@tappancollective
US-based online gallery Tappan Collective brings together paintings, sculptures and limited edition prints by emerging artists. Their feed is a thoughtful mishmash of art, inspiring interiors and behind the scenes with artists.
@partnershipeditions
The brainchild of London-based Georgia Spray, Partnership Editions offers a curated selection of artwork from the best rising talent – from hand embroidered canvases by Kanica to charcoal nudes by Alexandria Coe.
