  • Next Up Collectors is an advisory and platform dedicated to working with young professionals who are interested in engaging with the art market and emerging artists. It is our goal to help young professionals embark on their early art collecting journey through a variety of membership events held on a monthly basis.

  • In order to ensure our community is made up of dedicated young professionals with substantial work experience behind them, we ask for potential members to apply. We prioritize young professionals who are not currently involved in the art industry directly, as the goal of this platform is to create engagement with other industries.

  • Our membership cost is free upon acceptance, with some events additionally ticketed. Members will be given a password to access our members-only event page.

  • Our goal is to work with young professionals of all backgrounds. Our members include those coming from backgrounds in art, finance, tech, fashion, design, and more. Together, we will learn and grow as a community. Our Founder, Elise, holds a master’s degree from The Courtauld Institute of Art, and offers one on one bespoke advising as well.
