What does it mean to collect art?
If you’ve never bought art before, Hypha Curates is the perfect place to start. You might have previously decorated your home with posters or reproductions from museum shops, but now want to show your personality & passion through original art, or perhaps you want to find a personal & unique gift for a loved one to start their collection. Hypha Curates can help you on your journey while also directly helping artists & the wider UK cultural ecosystem.
Why buy through Hypha Curates?
We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to original art & start their own collection. Buying art does not need to cost the earth, so Hypha Curates offers works at a range of prices, mediums & styles to suit any home. As Hypha Curates is powered by Hypha Studios' constantly growing & evolving stream of exciting artists, you know that works we sell reflect the latest ideas across the cultural sector.
Who are Hypha Studios?
Hypha Studios is a charity running since 2021 to provide free making & exhibition space to artists in high streets & commercial spaces across the UK. In that time over 2,100 artists have benefitted from spaces in their community, showing work & organising public events to engage over 45,000 members of the public. Hypha Studios is run by a small team comprising Founder & CEO Camilla Cole, Non Exec Director Will Jennings & Artist Manager Viola Koç.
Hypha Curates builds Hypha Studios support for artists, helping creatives reach new audiences & sell their artwork outside of the traditional gallery system. You benefit from our growing network of artists across England, Wales & Scotland, and every purchase helps Hypha Studios offer more free spaces, perhaps even in your local high street.

How do Hypha Studios & Hypha Curates support emerging artists?
Hypha Studios support artists who have recently graduated from the top art schools across the UK & those who are not in the existing, narrow gallery system. Buying their work through Hypha Curates directly supports their careers from the very beginning, allowing each artist to explore their practice & build confidence, while you can build your own personal collection at home with the newest, most exciting artistic ideas.
What kind of work do you sell?
Because Hypha Curates operates across the UK, we support artists & ideas wherever they are from, not only from a single location & not just work of a single style. By exploring our website, you will discover a huge range of art in all styles, including painting, photography, textiles & more. By opening up the possibility of collecting such diverse artwork, we can help artists find their audiences & develop their career in new ways as well as help you find exciting new artwork perfect for you at affordable prices, collecting with purpose.
How does it support the cultural ecosystem?
Culture is one of the UK’s greatest qualities & most impactful sectors, but with funding cuts & gallery closures it is a precarious & difficult economic landscape, especially for individual creatives. Buying work through Hypha Curates directly helps the artists you want to support, allowing them to individually grow & helping Hypha Studios offer more free studios & exhibition opportunities for the next generation of makers across the UK.
