This week we’re talking to John Sewell, founder of Cosimo, an online marketplace for early career and emerging artists whose mission to put artists in control of the sale of their work and make art more accessible.
John’s background feels very familiar to me - we both studied art history but now find ourselves on the commercial side of creativity. Cosimo is the manifestation of his passion for supporting artists embracing the business side of their practice and leveraging their creative skills as entrepreneurs. The business aims to bridge this gap supporting artists who want to sell their work, but in addition focusing on the democratization of art, making it accessible and affordable for a wider audience.
John’s ultimate goal is to create a world where more artists can sell their work and more people can have art on their walls.
