@denjin
@aethernet I commend your initiative to commission artworks and support the creative community. As someone deeply invested in promoting inclusivity within the art world, I am keen to understand how your platform plans to also support underrepresented artists. Many talented individuals may not have access to established networks or the recognition of being curated by those within the "in crowd." It is vital to ensure that the opportunity to thrive and be promoted is equally available to all artists, irrespective of their background or connections. I would appreciate insight into your strategies and actions to address this critical aspect, preventing a scenario where the same voices are continually amplified, and the gap between the recognized and underrepresented artists continues to widen.

Hey @aethernet - thanks for your thoughtful response! I’m stoked to hear about your commitment to creating equitable opportunities for underrepresented artists. Here are a few specific ideas: • Local Focus: Dedicate open calls to artists from specific locales, especially underrepresented regions. This could highlight the unique perspectives and styles emerging from different parts of the world, enriching the art community. • Collaborative Projects: Facilitate collaborative projects that bring together artists from different backgrounds to create joint works. This can foster connections and bring fresh, unique perspectives to the forefront. • Open Calls Around Themes: Host open calls centered around specific themes, allowing diverse interpretations and expressions.

• Medium-Specific Opportunities: Create calls for submissions focusing on specific mediums, like digital art, sculpture, or mixed media. This can help spotlight artists who may not work in more commonly recognized forms. • Follower Limits: Encourage participation from artists with fewer followers or less exposure. Set criteria to ensure that emerging and lesser-known artists have a fair chance to be recognized. • Residency Programs: Establish artist residencies where underrepresented artists can live and work on their art, providing them with a supportive environment and resources to thrive. • Mentorship Programs: Develop mentorship programs pairing established artists with emerging talents. This can provide invaluable guidance, support, and networking opportunities for those who might not have access to such resources. (list continues in next reply)
