Our Mission & Vision
Artive’s mission to protect cultural property drives our living vision to imagine a world free of illicit threats against our world’s cultural heritage. By shedding light on current risks in the market and bringing due diligence to the forefront of conversations, we provide proactive solutions to combat threats against our world’s treasures.
Artive’s mission is to help protect the world’s cultural heritage – looted and illicitly transferred, stolen, missing and otherwise claimed – by recording and indexing data for posterity and preservation through the use of technology.
Our mission is more than “about us”, this is your story as well and we believe that our cultural heritage can only be protected if we unite our responsibilities and actions, digitally record and exchange information, and raise awareness together.
The Artive Database
Artive maintains the world’s most technologically advanced, and impartial database of cultural objects, and intends to expand access, making it a publicly accessible record of stolen and high-risk objects.
Artive maintains the world’s most technologically advanced, and impartial database of cultural objects
By building a publicly accessible feature to our database and thus disseminating information about claimed objects, Artive will be able to:
- Continue maintaining a platform that identifies and records at-risk art, cultural objects, collections, and antiquities sites involved in unlawful transactions or incidents
- Establish safe, ethical transparency by creating both an essential tool for due diligence research prior to any transaction, and a site to publicize objects currently active in a claim or incident
- Provide the industry with a resource of highly-diversified objects registered in a single, user friendly setting
