Rise Art has acquired French based art platform KAZoART

We are excited to be working with an organisation whose values align so strongly with our own: championing, developing and showcasing the work of outstanding artists and bringing traditional art-world expertise to new and seasoned collectors alike. 

The acquisition is great news for existing Rise Art artists and collectors. With this expansion, Rise Art artists will reach a wider audience throughout France and Europe. Our new European arm of the business will also facilitate cross-border orders with less friction and enhanced support.

On top of improved processes for artists, this will also enable collectors and loyal Rise Art users to benefit from a wider range of outstanding art and discover more emerging and noteworthy artists worldwide (totalling over 1,500 internationally renowned artists following the merge).

As part of the acquisition, Rise Art has launched a new artist and collectors services office in Bordeaux, France. We are also in the process of launching an entirely new French version of the Rise Art website. Further to this, we are overjoyed to announce that our team is growing as members of the KAZoArt join forces with Rise Art and will continue to work from our new centre in Bordeaux.

“Cross-Border sales have generally been limited for artists worldwide” noted Rise Art Founder Scott Phillips. “For many artists, their market consists of local sales to local collectors via local art galleries and fairs. With this acquisition, we feel we can help more artists expand their patronage and collector base outside their home market.” 

We look forward to this next chapter and continuing to better serve art enthusiasts and artists worldwide. Stay tuned for more announcements.
