How fair and diverse is the art market in 2026 – and what structural changes would be needed?

The art market is a constantly evolving global economic arena in which commercial interests, cultural recognition and social networks interact. Who receives exhibitions, awards and institutional recognition? Who gains access to collectors? And who benefits when a work of art increases in value?

In this free live online workshop, Dr. Harriet Häußler explores these questions. You will gain insights into the structures of the art market and examine how visibility, success and access are shaped – and what changes could contribute to greater fairness and diversity.

• Access to the art market: Which structures create opportunities, and which create barriers?
• Recognition and commercial success: How are exhibitions, awards, institutional visibility and increases in value connected?
• Diversity and change: Which approaches could make the art market more open and fair? Bring your questions to the discussion.

The workshop is aimed at students, bachelor’s graduates and working professionals who would like to understand the art market better. It is particularly relevant to anyone interested in art, culture, management or postgraduate study in Art Market Management.
