To be a leading community that promotes, encourages, and advocates for grassroots and emerging artists. We are here to bring people together and to cultivate storytelling and creativity through the arts.

We aim to reinvent the experience, for both artist and collector, through the practice of innovative and dynamic ways people discover and purchase artwork. Working a holistic approach to art while making use of digital platforms, we hope to make art more accessible to all different types of art enthusiasts.
