Shape Africa's definitive art index
We're inviting a small group of galleries, dealers, institutions and advisors to join Art Index Africa as founding members before we open to the public. Founding members get first access, a permanent founding badge on their profile, and direct input into the platform roadmap.

The invitation
What founding members receive
- Permanent founding-member badge
A lasting mark on your organisation profile — visible to every collector who finds you on the index.
- Priority onboarding & dedicated verification
A reviewer works directly with you on identity, provenance and reproduction rights — front of the queue.
- Early access to every new feature
Viewing rooms, fair tools and more — in your hands before public launch.
- Locked-in founding pricing for life
Your founding rate holds for the lifetime of the account, whatever we price at later.
- A seat on the founding advisory council
Direct input into the roadmap. We build the index with the people who hold the works.
Payments can happen on or off the platform, whatever suits the deal — Art Index Africa stays focused on discovery, inquiry and verified provenance. How verification works
Express your interest
An expression of interest, not a binding commitment. We'll be in touch when founding-member onboarding opens.
Applications are reviewed personally. No payment required.
