Business Description

We are an organisation of artists who want to provide a space for other like-minded people to share experiences and their pieces of work with each other and more importantly the rest of the world. Therefore we want to have a website that combines shareability and a proper way to display exhibits of whatever kind. May it be a threedimensional sculpting or a piece of music.

Other platforms only concentrate on one specific direction of art, where we want to combine the three main aspects of creativity: auditive sensing, shape and depth as well as colours. Respectively we envision to bring the artists of different categories together so they can inspire each other.

For this website, we want to create a place of exchange. Where users can offer commissions for artworks or request a specific one.

Furthermore we want to give less experienced users the opportunity to improve their skills and to avoid beginner's mistakes for example by watching video or text guides provided by other users who want to share their techniques.
