NEW YORK, NY.- Fine Art Donations is thrilled to launch as a brand new donations platform serving the art world. New York-based founders Jeffrey B. Gold, Douglas Gold, and Clanci Jo Conover have drawn on years of experiencing working with arts businesses and nonprofits to provide this unique solution to collectors and museums. Through the website, donors can list artwork they are interested in giving to a museum, and museums can browse our selection of available works with the option of accepting them into their collections.

When donating artwork, collectors have to find the right institution looking to add work to their collection, which can be a tricky process. Collectors can simply upload images and details for their artwork to post the work for donation on our platform. Then, our list of museum contacts can review these listings, and accept works of art for their institutions.

Initial listings feature 20th century oil paintings by the American abstractionist Edward Zutrau, a classic Melecio Galván drawing (who has a solo exhibition at the Blanton Museum of Art opening March 16th), sculpture by Long Island artist Seymour Meyer, and more.

Donating fine art to a museum allows that work to be cared for and viewed by countless visitors for years to come, but there is also a notable financial benefit. The IRS encourages the donation of fine art to accredited Museums and institutions by rewarding the donor with significant tax breaks, so donors can feel confident that they are contributing to cultural prosperity while simultaneously making a smart financial decision.

Fine Art Donations makes it easier than ever for collectors to place a prized work of art into an important museum collection. Likewise, it streamlines the process of acquiring new work for museums themselves.
