Rise Art - The best contemporary art, hand-picked by experts
Rise Art is the online marketplace for contemporary art, hand-picked by experts. We’re changing the way consumers find and own original works of art from professional artists with our online marketplace and unique try before you buy art rentals. Our art rentals let anyone live with art in their home or office before they buy while earning credits towards purchase in the process. And, with every order on Rise Art, we donate an art kit to children's hospitals as part of our charity, Art for Care.
Rise art helps anyone discover and own incredible art from outstanding artists.
- Expertly Curated: Our insiders scour the art world and handpick artists for the site. Less than 5% of the over 5000 artists that have approached Rise Art have been selected.
- Personalised to you: Discover new artwork tailored to your interests based on our art style quiz, recommendation engine and speak with a curator service.
- Risk Free: See it in the flesh before you buy with our art rentals
- Full service: Shipping, framing and insurance offerings takes the hassle out of buying
Our aim is to become the leading art destination for casual collectors, helping anyone discover and own original art from outstanding artists in a fun and risk-free environment.

Rise Art - Rent art and try-before-you-buy
The company has grown considerably over the past 12 months, and has been featured by Forbes, The Sunday Times, Financial Times and has been recognized as a top 50 london startup by Mashable and as a top 8 startup out of 1000 entries at Pioneers Festival.
But we feel we are only just starting to scratch the surface of the opportunity. With online art sales expected to grow 19% compounded annually to over £4bn in 2019, and over 27% of the English population interested in buying art, we believe now is the time for us really grow the company.
