Peggy: The Social Marketplace for Contemporary Art

Peggy is a pioneering social marketplace for art, dedicated to making the discovery and collection of contemporary works accessible, secure, and socially engaging. Based in Canada, Peggy utilizes a patented AI-driven digital fingerprinting technology that allows collectors to verify the authenticity and provenance of 2D original paintings using only a smartphone camera. This innovation creates a tamper-proof digital passport for each artwork, facilitating trust in both primary and secondary markets. A cornerstone of the Peggy mission is supporting artist livelihoods; the platform automatically facilitates a 5% royalty to artists and galleries on all secondary sales. Beyond commerce, Peggy offers a vibrant community experience through Pegboards for curation, Pegcasts for artist interviews, and an expert Concierge service for personalized advice. By bridging the gap between artists and collectors, Peggy fosters a transparent and equitable art economy where the history and legitimacy of every piece are preserved for future generations.
