Partner with Fine Art Detective
Help take Fine Art Detective from evidence to the field — and from the field to the screen.
Fine Art Detective is building an independent investigative media project around art, history, evidence and discovery.
From 15 November to 15 December 2026, our fieldwork begins with the painting in London before following the evidence through Milan, Mantua, Bologna, Ferrara, Venice, Florence and Urbino, reaching Rome as the final stage. Flights booked. Route set.
We are looking for businesses, organisations and individuals who see the potential in where Fine Art Detective is going — and who can help make the next stage possible.
Current Opportunity
Help make the next stage possible
We are currently seeking partners and financial support to help make the London & Italy 2026 field investigation possible.
Funding and in-kind support can help enable travel, accommodation, research access, filming, production, documentation and the creation of material arising from the investigation.
More Than a Trip
The London & Italy investigation is the current opportunity. Fine Art Detective itself is the larger story. Partners can help enable work that reaches far beyond a single expedition.
What Are We Building?
Fine Art Detective is about more than a single investigation.
Discover the larger purpose behind the research, storytelling, developing series, documentary ambitions and future investigations — and what early partners can help make possible.
What Partners Can Help Make Possible
Flights, rail, transfers, vehicle support and movement between research locations.
London and Italian accommodation, locations, hospitality and logistical support.
Camera equipment, sound, lighting, production resources, editing and post-production support.
Archives, specialists, collections, introductions, research facilities, imaging and technical expertise.
Direct financial support toward fieldwork, research, filming, production and publication.
Editorial opportunities, media partnerships, audience development, publicity and distribution opportunities.
What Partners Can Receive
Depending on the nature and scale of the partnership, opportunities may include:
Appropriate partner acknowledgement on FineArtDetective.art and relevant project material.
Appropriate acknowledgement in relevant filmed and documentary content arising from the investigation, where agreed and editorially appropriate.
Recognition through relevant Fine Art Detective social, digital and field content.
Selected updates, imagery and insights from the field beyond the ordinary public experience, where appropriate.
Where genuinely relevant, opportunities to tell the story of how a partner helped make an investigation possible.
Potential private briefings, presentations or talks connected to the investigation and its development.
The opportunity to be associated with an independent investigation spanning art, history, research, documentary storytelling and cultural discovery.
Independent by Design
Partnership supports the investigation. It does not buy its conclusions.
Fine Art Detective retains editorial and investigative independence at all times. Serious partners understand that they are supporting genuine independent investigation — and that this integrity is exactly what makes an association with the work worth having.
Partnership Pathways
Nothing here is a fixed package or a published price. Every relationship is shaped individually around what a partner can offer and what they hope to gain.
For an organisation interested in significant association with Fine Art Detective and a current investigation. Potential opportunities may include prominent recognition, agreed content association, appropriate production credits and a deeper ongoing relationship.
For organisations providing meaningful financial, logistical, technical or professional support to a particular investigation.
For businesses providing accommodation, transport, equipment, services, locations or other in-kind assistance.
For researchers, academics, archives, collectors, specialists, museums and organisations able to contribute expertise, introductions or access.
For Individuals
“I want to help.”
Make a straightforward one-off contribution toward the investigation — any amount, securely, with no obligation and no need to become a sponsor.
“I want to provide more substantial support.”
For individuals and collectors wishing to provide more substantial or ongoing support, patronage is arranged personally — a considered relationship rather than a public tier.
Partner at the Beginning
Fine Art Detective is building its audience now.
Partners joining at this stage are not simply buying exposure to an established audience. They have the opportunity to help build an investigative media property from its earliest chapters — as the research moves into the field, the developing series comes to life, and new investigations begin to unfold.
Where the Story Will Live
The deeper investigative environment — evidence, research, fieldwork, developing series material, partnerships and ways to support the work.
The broader public-facing home of Fine Art Detective, where audiences can discover and follow the wider journey.
The developing episodic filmed series. Series One is now unfolding — Episodes 01–04 are showing, with further investigations added as the work develops.
Longer-form documentary and filmed storytelling opportunities as investigations develop.
Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and field updates.
Publications, interviews, press and appropriate media opportunities as they develop.
Why Fine Art Detective?
This is not curiosity dressed up as research. Follow the evidence already published and judge the credibility of the work for yourself.
Become Part of the Investigation
We are looking for partners who see the potential in where Fine Art Detective is going — and who can help us get there.
Financial support matters. So do introductions, expertise, access, accommodation, transport, technology, equipment and production support — and sometimes simply knowing the person who can open the right door.
If you believe you or your organisation could play a part, we would like to hear from you.
Know Someone Who Should See This?
You may not be the partner we need. You may know them.
A shared introduction can open an archive, find a specialist, connect a sponsor, secure a location — or simply bring this work to someone who believes it should continue.
