Artclub and Friends has been making waves on our radar for three years now. How did it all start?
I registered Artclub in November 2016 with no funding and no experience in running a business, which led to me realising I was out of my depth. I spent the next year working as a stylist in the industry to gain some capital and knowledge before jumping back in.
