Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Most investors stick to traditional assets like stocks and bonds, usually because they're comfortable with the familiar. However, adding alternative investments to your portfolio can provide broader diversification, help reduce volatility, and yield higher returns. Art is gaining traction as an alternative investment option—and not just among the ultra-wealthy. 

Another option for investing in art is to buy shares of companies involved in art. However, many art-related stocks are high-risk penny stocks or thinly traded (or both), so they're often illiquid investments that could be difficult to buy and sell.
