ArtSavvy Tour

Art

Art is the notion of creation and takes many forms. We create art to express our beliefs and thoughts. ArtSavvy aims to extract from artists and art lovers this creativity and thirst for seeking creativity. ArtSavvy will bring out the artist in everyone and hopefully improve the communication between artists and art appreciators.

ArtSavvy is a creative platform that allows people to share and discuss Art with the world. ArtSavvy allows users to discuss Art through Forums; educate themselves on Art through Events; join together with others to create Art through Collaborate; share places to discuss and educate oneself on Art through Venues; post and buy Art through Art Pages; search through thousands of pieces of Art and Artists in seconds through Browse; and delve into the mind's of thousands of Artist through User Profiles.

Artists

What were the thought processes throughout the creation of an art piece? How did an Artist create such a remarkable work of Art and why? What were the intimate thoughts that led an artist to choose the colors, shapes, story, etc.?

ArtSavvy helps users take a closer look into the mind of an Artist. Users can delve inside the mind of the Artist through ArtSavvy's step-by-step progressive documentation of a work of Art... from start to finish. Users can view pictures and videos of an Artist's production from idea development to finished product.

Collaboration

The Collaborate section is where users can post a project they want to commission an Artist(s) to complete, or an Artist can post a project that they want to work on in conjunction with other Artists.

Collaborations can be done online or in person, and they can consist of one individual or several individuals.

Users can participate in another user's collaboration by applying for the collaboration and subsequently being accepted to participate.

Browse

To really appreciate the artwork there is always an in-person, intimate interaction needed between the appreciator and the artwork. The Browse section allows users to regionally search for Art and Artists. Regionalizing searches for Art and Artists enables users to actually go see a work of Art in person prior to purchasing it.

Browse also allows users to search for Art and Artists by medium, keyword, gender, price, rating, location, distance from a location, date upload, and more.

Events

Events allows users to create any type of event that pertains to Art. The Events section also enables users to keep a calendar of all the events from the ArtSavvy website that they are attending.

Users may also set up reoccurring events with specified end dates. For example, a user can create an event for an Art class that occurs every Wednesday for 10 straight weeks; at the end of the 10th week, the event will automatically cease.

Events allows users to search events by date, location, distance from a location, cost, keyword, date uploaded, and more. Events also allow users to send messages to all users that are attending the event, and allow users to post event comments on the event wall.

Venues

Venues allow users to create an event profile for a venue that has a substantial number of events. What this does is it enables users to see all events from a large venue in one centralized location, and it allows users to easily search larger venues separately from the events of all ArtSavvy Users.

This section also allows users to post their venue's bio, address, contact info, etc. Venues also enable the Venue Administrator to send messages to all users that are attending any of the events or specific venues.

The Venues section allows users to search for Art related venues by category, distance, distance from a location, keyword, rating, and more.

Forum

The Forums are a place where users of ArtSavvy can discuss anything from a General Discussion to Site Feedback, Artist Medium Specific discussions and Art-related Classifieds.
