We are delighted to announce that the 17th Deloitte Private Art & Finance Conference will take place on Tuesday, 4 November 2025, at Citi Global Headquarters in New York City.

Join us as we present the results of our 2025 Art & Finance Report (9th edition) and hear from panellists as they discuss top-of-mind topics for today’s wealth management professionals.

The Great Wealth Transfer is well underway. As assets shift from one generation to the next, family offices are asked to meet the needs and preferences of this next generation of investors.

They are different from their predecessors and several questions can be asked:

  • Will they see art as a viable investment vehicle?
  • How will art be used for philanthropic and social impact?
  • What role will new technologies play?

From art-secured lending trends and tax considerations to fractional investment and collection management, we will explore the many innovations taking shape at the intersection of finance, culture, and business.

The Art & Finance Initiative

Since its inception in 2008, Deloitte Private’s Art & Finance Conference has been celebrating the convergence of finance, culture, and business.

Every two years, experts from around the globe conduct a survey to capture sentiment and identify emerging trends within the Art & Finance industry. These findings are compiled in our comprehensive, biennial Art & Finance Report, which are then discussed more deeply at our annual Art & Finance Conference of the same and following year.

Art & Finance - Investment in art and culture

The unprecedented development of the art market over the past few years has resulted in the 'financialization' of the art market. Once valued primarily for its beauty, a work of art is now increasingly viewed as part of an alternative asset class with promising business opportunities.
