Our Philosophy

While the popular tagline “art for everyone” sounds like a noble cause, we believe it doesn’t quite express the nuances of art enthusiasts in the digital era. The internet makes us nichier and quirkier everyday, while art asserts the eccentricity in people.

Stew also discourages the idea of online art marketplaces, our site is as much about connecting artists and their audience as it is about the acquisition of art. Our goal is to bring back the notion of patronage, we believe art has the unique ability to connect two people across the world that have the same ideals and values in life.

What kind of art is featured on Stew?

Our favorite works have the perfect blend of odd and whimsical. Stew is a showcase of young witty artists who are thoughtful, analytical, and have a lot to say about how we live today.

Stew users are able to discover art and community in unexpected regions around the world.
