Access by Art Basel: A Hybrid Digital and Physical Experience
Let's explore how Access by Art Basel integrates philanthropic giving into art sales.
Integrating Philanthropy in Art Sales
On Access by Art Basel, collectors can select which local or international initiative their donation pledge will benefit when they make a purchase request on art works.
A Curated Selection of Prime Artworks
Access by Art Basel showcases a selection of top tier art works for collectors to explore online before Art Basel Miami Beach opens, as well as physically at the gallery booth once the fair opens.
Secure Payments and Instant Splits
State-of-the-art payment technology from Arcual enables collectors to make seamless and secure online payments. The gallery and beneficiary receive their payout split automatically.
New Connections and Opportunities
Access is designed to foster meaningful new relationships between galleries, collectors, artists and charities.

Bernadine Bröcker Wieder, CEO, Arcual says:
"Access demonstrates what the Arcual team, comprising some of the most agile engineers and thinkers in the art and tech space, can build. The platform fully integrates philanthropic giving into art sales using our seamless payment split technology. We are very excited for this collaboration with Art Basel, and for more impact-driven activations to come between the two companies next year."
Noah Horowitz, CEO, Art Basel says:
“The art community is deeply engaged in the world around it. We wanted to deliver a platform that meaningfully and effectively supports the causes that matter to our galleries and their artists, while allowing them to remain the beneficiaries of 100% of the sale on artworks. Access by Art Basel connects our clients to an expanded global audience of art patrons via an easy digital platform that simultaneously streamlines the process for collectors to buy with immediate and significant philanthropic impact.”
