Connecting artists, art lovers, and collectors
Why
We believe that original art stands out. This conviction drives us to create a direct channel between artists, art lovers, and collectors.
There are more artists than there are spaces to show their work.
The art world is complex but the market is archaic and exclusive. Access is rarely easy. Galleries take a large percentage off the artwork price. Online experience of viewing and buying art is impersonal. It can feel like buying an Ikea.
By gaining more space in creativity and freedom in directing the journeys of their artworks, artists will make more powerful art. Studios are the optimal place to see and experience them.
We want to help create a new art world where
Art is more accessible to everyone
There is a lot of art out there and its majority gets little chance to reach the audience who appreciates it. Opening up the gates of exclusivity in the art world and market would help artists and collectors define their practice in their own ways.
The creative process is more visible
A key difference between seeing an artist's work in a gallery and visiting their studio is the stories they share. The details of how and why they work are a significant part of their practice. We hope to bring the possibility of sharing and getting inspired by art to more art lovers.
Independent artists can thrive
Someone once warned "Beware of artists. They mix with all classes of society and are therefore most dangerous." We agree and want a wider spectrum of artists of all backgrounds to thrive. We see the beauty and richness in the diversity, and we believe that the way forward is to have even more independent artists creating original works everywhere.
