As the world prepares to mark International Women’s Day 2025, themed around rights, equality, and empowerment, London-based Artscapy is spotlighting its predominantly female team and a significant increase in female art investors. The innovative art investment platform, led by founder Emilia de Stasio, is enhancing its commitment to diversity and inclusivity within the art sector. The company has noted a particular rise in younger women looking to invest in art, aligning their portfolios with cultural values and wealth preservation.

Artscapy has recorded a noticeable growth in female art investors over the last year, attributing this trend to a broader shift towards more inclusive investment opportunities. The platform provides specialised advice and access for women entering the art investment field, which has traditionally been male-dominated. This approach not only opens the door for new investors but also supports the broader agenda of cultural preservation and diversity.

Emilia de Stasio, who has a background in finance with the European Central Bank and Moody’s Investment Service, has been instrumental in guiding new investors. She actively promotes both emerging and established female artists, facilitating connections with Artscapy’s growing female clientele. De Stasio’s efforts are aimed at ensuring women’s representation extends beyond collecting, to include recognition of female artists in major collections worldwide.

Artscapy prides itself on creating a supportive work environment, particularly for working mother: “While the arts are often seen as a female-dominated sector in terms of workforce, there remains a significant gender gap in leadership roles, artist representation, and collector demographics. UK data shows a 36% drop in women holding management roles after starting a family. At Artscapy, we’re proud to be bucking this trend by employing working mothers in senior positions and creating a supportive, balanced work environment,” Emilia de Stasio stated. She also highlighted the importance of empowering women collectors, noting a surge in next-gen investors keen to support underrepresented artists, especially women.

The client base at Artscapy mirrors this shift, with an increasing number of female collectors investing in works by female artists that address contemporary issues such as identity, the environment, and social justice. De Stasio’s personalised and strategic approach helps clients build collections that not only grow in value but also resonate with meaningful narratives.

The leadership team at Artscapy includes notable figures such as Daniela Bianco-Duppen, Director of Client Development, and Vanessa Zingale, Director of Commercial Operations, who play crucial roles in shaping client relationships and ensuring business efficiency and growth.

This International Women’s Day, Artscapy is not just celebrating its internal achievements but also the broader impact of its work in making the art investment world more inclusive and representative. As Emilia de Stasio puts it, “Art is not just an asset; it’s a legacy. By supporting female artists and female collectors, we’re ensuring that legacy is more diverse, inclusive, and representative of our times.”
