Art World Technicians
Many art technicians, who are often artists themselves, are now without work and are in need of financial support as galleries, museums, and art institutions around the world have temporarily closed in an effort to help contain the spread of coronavirus. Dietl International has created a digital platform to help these artists present and sell their work directly from their studios, and new works will continually be added to the site. To browse the works, visit www.dietl.com.
