What is TurningArt?
Founded in 2009, TurningArt operates at the intersection of e-commerce and fine art, providing a specialized platform for the rental and acquisition of original artwork. The company offers a subscription-based model that allows members to rotate prints of original works, effectively democratizing access to high-quality art while providing a clear pathway to ownership through earned credits. Headquartered in Boston, the firm has carved out a niche by simplifying the art discovery process for both individual collectors and corporate environments, ensuring that art remains a dynamic element of interior design rather than a static asset.
