ArtSpotter Aims To Become Largest Arts Venue Database In The World
Picture this: You’re in a new city and forgot to research its art scene before arriving. Does your iPhone have a solution to this first world problem? Thanks to the new app, ArtSpotter, it just might.
ArtSpotter was created by UK-based Raphaƫlle Heaf, who has worked in the contemporary art world for more than 10 years. This ambitious new app marries her love of mapping, architecture, tech and art. Thus far, ArtSpotter has picked up funding from Ignite100, the largest accelerator program in Europe, one angel investor and two founding galleries.
ArtSpotter just launched in the Apple App Store on December 1, so it’s still new and growing. For now, the top ArtSpotter cities are London, Berlin, Paris, Munich and New York because these are cities that Heaf herself knows best. ArtSpotter is also working with events in the UK (the London Art Fair is one of them), and also speaking with others in Europe and the U.S. If ArtSpotter can aggregate data and content from the right places, this app has a chance at reaching its goal.
