Career Infrastructure for Art Programs
Real-time, anonymized career outcome data for MFA, BFA, and curatorial programs. See how your graduates build professional art careers.
The Outcome Data Gap
Art programs invest deeply in student development but lose visibility after graduation. Alumni surveys capture a fraction of career activity. Accreditation reviews demand outcome data that doesn't exist in structured form. Meanwhile, graduates are building real careers — registering work, selling through curated auctions, building collector bases — but none of this flows back to the programs that trained them.
How It Works
A simple, consent-based pipeline from graduation to institutional insight.
Step 1
Program Recommends
aha! to graduating students
Your program introduces students to provenance registration and professional documentation. Graduates create free accounts and opt in to share anonymized career data with their institution.
Step 2
Graduates Register & Sell
Work through aha!
Alumni register artworks, build provenance records, participate in curated auctions, and sell through galleries. Every transaction creates structured, verifiable career data.
Step 3
Institution Sees Outcomes
Via anonymized dashboard
Your institutional dashboard shows aggregated, anonymized metrics — works registered, sales volume, collector cities, career trajectory — without exposing individual artist identities.
