Proposed as an existing solution to Artists have an increasingly hard time being discovered on marketplaces, making it nearly impossible for them to sell.
@Erick Laubach -- let me know if this is what you envision or where the differences are. I also know the founder of this company (they actually went through YC with this concept) and can potentially connect you with them to chat if interested.

@ EVERYWALL
Hi Claire— Thanks for sending. I like how they're offering a payment plan up front (Saatchi does something similar with Affirm), but if you look at it through the lens of an artist, they look like every other commerce site trying to sell art.
All of the current art sites are focused on the buyer (including Art in Res, Saatchi, ArtFinder, etc.). I think that's where we can differentiate ourselves - we will flip that and put the focus on the artist and de-clutter the discovery experience. Think great art profile pages that double as art portfolios, large images, less text, adding physical art to the blockchain, and, most importantly, evolving the way artists are discovered so they actually have a chance to sell.
I believe if you put the artist first, the collectors will come (frankly, they won't have a choice).
Some web3 sites have done some forward thinking things in this space (ex: https://foundation.app/ and https://superrare.com/), but traditional art sites continue to be stuck in the mud.
If done right, we can beat them all.
