The Hope of Collecting Art || Georgia Spray founder of Partnership Editions
Which piece of art do you own that brings you a moment of pause each time it catches your eye, that you will never tire of, that you love to tell the story of?
Welcome to Episode Nine in our series on Hope. In this episode we speak with Georgia Spray founder of Partnership Editions about the Hope of Collecting Art.
Partnership Editions aim to make remarkable art accessible to all by offering an online platform married with events, collecting advice and a creative community. They work alongside exciting, emerging artists such as Christabel Blackburn, Richard Hart, Hester Finch, Charlotte Eady and Fee Greening to name but a few. There are six ‘drops’ a year which sell out quickly - you have to be fast off the mark when you get that email.

Georgia has put together a glorious alternative to aloof white boxes, frenzied art fairs, hastily bought posters and blank walls. As we spend ever more time at home, the art we surround ourselves with seems more important. More impactful. More intrinsic to our every day lives.
The approach of Partnership Editions is accessible, vivacious and dynamic - you can’t help but get drawn in.
In this episode we are going to hear about Georgia’s early years in the art world, the idea of Partnership Editions, how it moved from a ‘side-hustle’ to a full time enterprise, how it has evolved over time, curating her artists, modern day collectors, the impact of Covid-19 (of course) and her hope for the future.
“I do think that you are a collector from the moment that you buy your first piece of art! We really want to be a place where people keen to buy art are able to discover and learn. Whilst minutes towards buying art online are changing, we aren’t just an online shop - there are real people behind the scenes who are here to help by offering a tailored service to all our clients.”
