About ArteraQ
What We're About
Managing an art collection can really suck sometimes. The spreadsheets, the scattered invoices, the "wait, where did I put that certificate of authenticity?" moments. Your art and your passion are what matter — not the daily drudgery of tracking down documents and updating cells.
That's why we built ArteraQ — to take away the pain and give you back that sweet, sweet time you'd rather spend at a gallery opening or, honestly, just staring at that piece you love.
So keep collecting what moves you, and we'll never stop building great software to support your collection — while always being a human about it.
Built for People, Not Institutions
Most art inventory tools were built for museums, galleries, and insurance companies — massive systems with massive price tags and learning curves to match. We thought that was kind of absurd.
If you own 20 or 200 artworks, you deserve software that respects your time and doesn't require a training manual. You should be able to add a piece in 30 seconds, find any work instantly, and generate an insurance report in one click. That's it. That's the whole idea.
AI That Helps, Not Hypes
We use AI where it genuinely saves you time — auto-generating descriptions, tagging styles, and flagging gaps in your records. We don't use it to sound fancy on a landing page. (Okay, maybe a little.)
Every AI suggestion is editable. Every description is yours to refine. We believe the best tools augment your judgment, not replace it. Your collection tells your story — we just help you write it down faster.
What We Care About
Simplicity over features
We'd rather do 10 things perfectly than 50 things poorly. If it doesn't make your life easier, it doesn't ship.
Your data is yours
SSL encryption, private by default, no selling your information. We're building a tool you trust, not an ad platform.
Always be a human about it
Real support from real people. No chatbot mazes, no 72-hour ticket queues. You email us, we answer.
Collectors first, always
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help someone manage their collection better? If not, we skip it.
