Benchmark
I examined art-related platforms and job search platforms. The art platforms revealed insights into the open call process for artists, while the job search platforms highlighted key features for networking and job discovery. Together, they inform potential improvements for a more streamlined and specialized platform.
I interviewed artists and curators to explore their goals, needs, and challenges in the art world.

"Art is a form of free expression, but when it becomes a profession, it often faces commercialization that can compromise authenticity."
Core Insights
Management & Monitoring-
The art world's instability requires better tools for managing career advancement, collaborations, and submission tracking, which current platforms lack.
Networking & Connections-
Professional networks are crucial for growth. Both artists and curators emphasized the need for easier ways to foster collaborations and secure future projects.
Lack of Resources-
Living off art is difficult. Artists struggle with underpaid projects and extra costs, while curators invest time and resources without fair compensation.
Disorganization in Opportunities-
Discovering professional opportunities is exhausting. The abundance of scattered sources makes personalization difficult, leading to frustration and missed chances.
I created user personas based on the interview findings to represent the main pain points of my users.
After analyzing my users' challenges, I created a flow chart to streamline and simplify the artist's search process within the app.

This project emerged from my post-university struggles with finding opportunities and staying updated on industry trends. Through discussions, I recognized that this challenge is common among artists. My research illuminated key obstacles they face, allowing me to enhance the open call process for artists.
In the future, I aim to further refine curators' workflows by improving their interaction with open calls, ensuring easier submission evaluation and access.
