The Artbridger Sponsorship Program reflects a commitment to supporting artists beyond commercial transactions, offering the infrastructural backing, critical mentorship, and international mobility required for long-term career longevity. Operating as an incubator for artistic practice, the initiative connects artists with established curators, critics, and market professionals to refine their work, articulate their critical narratives, and navigate complex institutional frameworks. By facilitating access to global residencies, curatorial site visits, and group exhibitions alongside dedicated editorial profiling and critical writing, Artbridger ensures an artist's practice is documented with rigor and presented thoughtfully to global audiences, prioritizing sustainable creative autonomy over immediate market turnarounds.
Artbridger is a curated platform working with a focused roster of contemporary artists across painting, sculpture, digital, and mixed media. Our selection process is deliberate and research-driven, based on studio visits, portfolio review, and long-term practice assessment. We look for artists with a consistent body of work, a clearly developed visual language, and a commitment to professional growth. Beyond aesthetic quality, we consider exhibition history, production capacity, and readiness for international presentation.
Artbridger helps artists break out of local markets and build lasting, international careers. We provide the essential tools, expert guidance, and global network you need to take the next step with confidence. Joining our platform connects you directly with curated physical and digital exhibitions, gallery partnerships, and an international audience of dedicated collectors. We don't just showcase your work; we actively champion your practice through targeted media exposure, editorial features, and professional advisory. With Artbridger, you gain the exposure, commercial reach, and ongoing support needed to build a sustainable career on your own terms.

Tillmann Lauterbach (b. 1977) is an artist and circular designer whose work seamlessly
merges material upcycling, time capsules, and archetypal explorations. With a background in fashion, Lauterbach’s collections were showcased at pioneering boutiques such as L’Eclaireur (Paris), H Lorenzo (Los Angeles), and Dover Street Market (London, Tokyo, and New York). A former LVMH award finalist, he has collaborated with Asics Japan, Comme des Garçons, and artists such as Olafur Eliasson and Wataru Komachi.
About the artist
In 2017, Lauterbach founded REVERB, China’s most advanced eco-brand, and contributed to the Ellen MacArthur Circular Guide to Fashion. His design practice extends beyond fashion into sculpture, collage, and painting, with works exhibited in Vienna, Paris, Milan, and beyond. His art is deeply rooted in material transformation, repurposing discarded elements into new narratives that explore the passage of time, collective memory, and the hidden codes of existence.
Lauterbach’s High Vibrational Objects are a meditation on contrast, tension, and the hidden soul of materials.
Composed entirely of upcycled and found elements, these works are assemblages of past and present, reflecting both the aggression and irony of contemporary life.
“Every material holds a history, a presence. These objects are not merely compositions but companions—keepers of memory and knowledge, vibrational compositions waiting to be experienced.”
Each piece is unique yet part of a series, continuing Lauterbach’s ongoing dialogue between art, sustainability and encoded storytelling.
