I founded artsola in the spring of 2020 to elevate art discovery in Chicago from an elusive and impersonal experience to one that is accessible and meaningful to locals. Artsola is an event-based art discovery platform and online marketplace designed for the Chicago art community.
The rhythm of art discovery → Whether you’re creating art or seeking it out, the same elements of discovery are employed: sensation, perception and exploration. The rhythm of art discovery is represented in an open system reacting to each element in a pattern unique to the individual experiencing it.
The ephemeral nature and unconventional locations of Chicago’s artist-run shows can make them hard to find and difficult to promote. The city needed a way to organize events and simplify communication while showcasing diversity of craftmanship.
The MVP enables users to view nearby art events, track and pre-purchase tickets to upcoming shows, and make meaningful purchases from local artists. Artsola provides a platform for artists to host their own shows from anywhere — event their own living room — and share their events with a targeted network of enthusiasts looking to see their work. Come meet your neighborhood artists!
