About ArtPort

ArtPort was founded to solve a persistent challenge in the art world: making professional fine art shipping accessible, transparent, and reliable for everyone who works with valuable artwork.

Born from Industry Experience

We've spent years operating UNION Fine Art Services, a bespoke fine art shipping company serving galleries, museums, and collectors with white-glove logistics solutions. Through this work, we witnessed firsthand the complexities that make art transportation challenging for many.

While UNION excelled at high-touch, custom logistics for institutional clients, we recognized a significant gap in the market. Smaller galleries, independent artists, and private collectors often struggled to access professional-grade art shipping services. The traditional model (requiring multiple phone calls, coordinating separate vendors for packaging and transport, and navigating complex insurance requirements) created barriers for those who needed reliable artwork transportation.

A Modern Approach to Art Logistics

ArtPort reimagines fine art shipping for the digital age. By building a technology platform that streamlines every step of the process, we've made professional art transportation simple and straightforward.

Our innovative two-journey shipping model addresses one of the industry's core challenges: ensuring artwork is properly protected before transit begins. We deliver custom-sized, museum-quality packaging directly to our customers, then coordinate insured delivery through trusted carriers like FedEx and UPS.

What sets ArtPort apart is our combination of deep logistics expertise with modern technology. Every feature, from multi-stage shipment tracking to professional condition reporting reflects lessons learned from years of hands-on experience in the fine art shipping industry.
