ArtBin
Connect public and junior artists;
Make modern art diverse and accessible
ArtBin is an art communal platform that makes modern artwork more accessible for general public through art recreation. Recreation formats include but not limited to memes, short videos, funny stories, manga, etc. Thus, it will eliminate the gap between artists and the public.
Duration: 8 weeks
My Role: User Research; UI/UX Design; Visual Design




Problem
- Junior artists cannot sell their artworks easily.
- Digital art is raising but still gets less value compared to traditional art.
For contemporary art, while some famous artists can sell their digital artworks for millions of dollars, many talented artists are still unknown. The artwork selling process switched due to the rise of digital platforms and social media. Though artists have more opportunities to expose their artwork to the public, this is a more competitive environment that makes individual's works hard to stand out.
Question
- How can we help artists promote their artwork?
- Is there any way that gives junior artists more opportunities to succeed?
- Are those social media platforms suitable for artists to display their artworks?
- Can we create a platform only for artists?
