Artunity
Artunity has developed a platform aimed at ending the cliche of the starving artist by democratizing artist visibility and asset opportunity for new collectors.
|
Artunity is a modern response to simply buying and selling art. Its platform lets an artist upload artwork and set an amount they are trying to raise. Then their algorithm randomly draws a winner after the funding goal is met, allowing both an artist to increase the value and speed at which their work can sell and a demographic that doesn't have large amounts of money to spend equal access to a highly-valued piece of work.
|
What's Innovative About Their Solution?
Artunity leverages a specific combination of effective aspects of the competition into a cohesive, niche experience that shows the art world can be fully financially democratized by keeping pace with technology advancements. It was developed by an artist for artists.
