Appraiser Programme

Join the Appraiser Network

Visionary Studios introduces artists and collectors to independent, credential-verified appraisers at the moment they are deciding what a work is worth. We are assembling a small founding cohort and personally review every application.

What we look for

  • ·Membership of a recognised professional body (AAA, ASA, ISA, RICS or a CINOA-linked association), or comparable auction-house, gallery or museum experience
  • ·A defined specialty: the category, period and region you are genuinely qualified to value
  • ·Your own professional indemnity insurance; non-negotiable, since valuations carry professional liability that sits with you, the appraiser
  • ·Flat, transparent per-work fees; contingency or percentage-of-value fees are prohibited by professional standards and by our terms

Where your practice is professionally established; used for your Stripe account

AAA, ASA, ISA, RICS, CINOA-linked associations…

Auction houses, galleries or museums you have worked with

Per work, in your currency; never a percentage of value

How you can appraise a work: select one or both

As it may appear in your directory profile

Visionary Studios facilitates introductions between collectors and independent appraisers. We do not appraise, authenticate or verify artworks, and we do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of any valuation. Appraisers act at all times as independent professionals; the valuation is theirs alone, attributed to them by name.

Participation is governed by the Appraiser Terms, presented for acceptance before your first paid engagement.
