SUMMARY
Pocket Art addresses the inaccessibility of art for middle-class buyers and the visibility issues faced by emerging artists. This innovative app combines AR technology, a virtual gallery space, and educational tools to transform how users interact with, learn about, and purchase art, thereby integrating fine art into daily life and making it accessible to a wider audience.
challenge
The project identified critical barriers including prohibitive costs for middle-class art buyers, limited market access for emerging artists, and a general lack of understanding about art as an investment. These challenges create a disconnect between potential buyers and the art world, making it seem exclusive and out of reach for many.
Outcome
The outcome is Pocket Art, a comprehensive online platform that enhances art accessibility through AR visualization, personalized art discovery, and educational resources. This platform democratizes art buying, provides emerging artists with exposure, and helps users deepen their understanding and appreciation of art.
