Art & Market: Multimedia Platform for Southeast Asian Art and Criticism

Art & Market (A&M) serves as a comprehensive multimedia platform and online magazine that illuminates the complex landscape of Southeast Asian art. Established in 2018 by founder Nadya Wang, the organization bridges the gap between journalistic accessibility and academic rigor. Its mission is to document and nurture the region’s art ecosystem through critical writing, research, and community engagement. The platform features diverse specialist content, including artist profiles, curatorial perspectives, and business insights, alongside its annual print publication, CHECK-IN. With a team of contributors spanning the globe, Art & Market provides a voice for practitioners within the industry, offering podcasts and educational resources that reach an international audience. By documenting both historical context and contemporary practices, Art & Market fosters sustainable relationships and inspires new conversations among artists, curators, and collectors. The platform’s rebranding in 2025 further solidified its commitment to providing high-quality art literacy and professional services, such as editorial campaigns and writing workshops, ensuring that the unique narratives of Southeast Asian art continue to be shared and understood worldwide.
