From March 2020 to March 2021, the Artworld team developed Artworld v. 1. This version was ready to share, but unfortunately, we did not receive the necessary funding required to continue maintaining and improving upon our MVP beginnings. This website remains as a record of our work. Thank you to everyone who followed, supported and participated in the project along the way.
Welcome to Artworld, the blog!
2020 was spent largely sheltering-at-home, social-distancing, living in our heads and on our screens. We’re all exhausted by social media but rely on it because...we have to? The Artworld team has been thinking through this dilemma over the past year; how can we responsibly create an alternative social platform that engages, promotes, and supports our communities? Is this even possible, one might ask!
Values—
Artistic Development: Artworld’s purpose is to support the development
and dissemination of artistic practice.
Diversity: We cover a diverse range of practices to reflect the
interdisciplinary, intersectional, and intercultural spaces our sector creates.
Equity: Our platform
aims to promote equitable access to information and resources that empower users to further engage with their
peers and publics.
Engagement: We believe that through art, we can advocate for and affect social
awareness and change for the betterment of all peoples.
About—
Artworld is a digital social space for the arts sector, built to foster
community amongst artists, arts-workers, and the general public through sharing info and creating content —
without profiting from advertising or data collecting.
Artworld’s mission is to support the arts sector
by organizing, presenting, and sharing various events, projects, and interests of its users. Our vision is an arts
sector with more reach, flow, and cross-pollination between different communities.
