MARTHA CLIPPINGER
Print | 2017
Through the support of a Fulbright grant, Martha Clippinger spent 2014 studying the Indigenous textile traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico. There she met weavers Licha González Ruiz and Agustín Contreras López of Teotitlán del Valle, a Zapotec village renowned for its woolen tapetes (Spanish for “rugs”) that are woven on upright pedal looms. The couple agreed to translate one of her designs into wool, and they’ve been working together ever since.

ARTISTS.
COLLECTORS.
COMMUNITY.
Artsuite is an online platform and art marketplace that’s all about creating connections — connecting artists with collectors, galleries with communities, advocates and activists with impactful causes and events. Most importantly, it’s about helping YOU connect with art that moves you and artists who will inspire you.
The most effective way to support working artists is to share their art and encourage the world to invest in their work. When Artsuite's founders came to that conclusion, they resolved to use their new platform to simplify the process of acquiring art and make the experience personalized and rewarding, for seasoned collectors and first-time buyers alike. After all, no one should miss out on the joy of living with art.
By organizing virtual exhibitions and unexpected collaborations, activating non-traditional spaces, offering art advising services and sharing the stories of artists and collectors from around the world, the Artsuite team is exploring creative ways to make art collecting feel accessible and exciting.
