Many of us dream of owning an original work of art. But for most, it stops at admiring gallery pieces — too expensive, elitist, and unapproachable. Raffle Arts offers an alternative: a new format that makes art accessible through the simplest means, a raffle. Each month, a new work by an emerging or established artist is curated and presented. For a small amount, you can purchase a raffle ticket. At the end of the month, one lucky winner receives the original piece. Ten additional winners receive a signed edition. Only 100 tickets are sold per round. The idea was born in Berlin, after several self-curated exhibitions and countless conversations with artists and collectors. Raffle Arts was founded by Luca Keil, who first explored the idea while curating shows for artist friends. He aims to sell art fairly, increase visibility for emerging talent, and inspire a new generation of collectors, without gallery markups or gatekeeping. It’s a mini-revolution in the art world: playful, approachable, and refreshingly unpretentious. A chance to start collecting or simply fall in love with a piece of art all over again.
