About

We are turning our individual gallery projects into one app that allows users to visit custom built gallery spaces with their friends, family, or strangers from around the world. These galleries feature largely under represented artists (BIPOC, LGBT+, Immigrant, Women Identifying, Lower Income, People living with Disabilities), who often are not afforded gallery spaces to exhibit their work. Our gallery spaces can be explored freely by users and are paired with custom soundscapes.

Impact

Accessibility to the arts is our projects largest goal and call to action. With a free, multiplatform gallery, we will play a role in dismantling the socio-economic and physical barriers that prevent the general public from engaging with fine art and prevent under-represented artists from having exhibition experiences. This opens opportunity for art enthusiasts who have mobility issues and live in remote or underserved areas. Art should be accessible for everyone.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
