About Peggy

Peggy is reenvisioning the art market by establishing Art 2.0. Our mission is to give everyone access to art. What does this mission look like materialized? A world with art in every home. Peggy creates new opportunities within the art market by making contemporary art accessible, filling the untapped gap of resale activity in the middle market and shifting benefits to artists by enabling resale royalties. 

Being on the frontier takes visionary thinking, a flexible mindset and the ability to thrive in chaos. We value security, storytelling, straightforwardness and forward-thinking. Peggy is the place for you if you’re seeking personal and professional growth and to establish a new way of doing business in the art market. 

As a seed-stage startup, Peggy does not offer a rigid corporate structure. If you crave the structure, clarity and predictability of traditional corporate environments, Peggy might not be a place where you’ll thrive. We operate in an ambiguous environment by being curious, placing bets, shipping fast and learning from the outcomes. We are light on processes at Peggy, instead favouring relationships of high trust achieved through high impact. At our stage, exceptional competencies centre around leading, owning and prioritizing work that achieves business strategies.
