Artworld Deadstock is a marketplace celebrating creative projects of all kinds – practical, impractical, and everything in between. We’re interested in the ways art and artists engage with systems of commerce and distribution, and provide a platform for work that may not fit into the conventional art market.
Our mission is to offer a selection of unique products created by UK-based artists. Whether you want to collect, display, or use the items, everything available from Artworld Deadstock is affordably priced, to make art a more inclusive experience for everyone.
Artworld Deadstock was co-founded by Jo McGarry and Will Dalton out of a frustration with the systems through which contemporary art is made, exhibited and sold. We’re interested in what happens when artists step outside the gallery model – making things affordably embracing multiples, packaging, distribution and consumption, and treating these not as compromises but as part of the work itself. By repurposing commercial systems, we want to recentre the artworld around making and experimentation – liberating art from the gallery.
Let’s make something together
We’re open to all kinds of creative projects, no matter the medium. As long as the work can be packaged, it has a place at Artworld Deadstock. While we love prints and paintings, we’re especially focused on providing space for work that doesn’t fit within the traditional art world.
