Collect the artist before the career starts.

DOTDAT is where BFA and MFA students sell original work to a new generation of collectors. Every artist is verified, every piece is signed, and nothing is made by AI.

An artwork page in the DOTDAT app: a tulip drawing with its ownership timeline, from the artist to a private collector
Every work keeps its ownership history, from the artist onward.

On DOTDAT now

Original work by the student artists selling on DOTDAT. Open a piece to see it larger. Prices and the rest of the collection are in the app.

Two sides, one honest marketplace

Art school teaches the work. Nobody teaches the sale.

Students graduate with real work and no route to the people who would buy it. Meanwhile a new generation already collects with conviction, just not art yet.
