Crowdsourced art curation
Looking for the right art for your workspace? Indiewalls, a platform for “crowdsourced art curating,” connects buyers to artists to find the perfect pieces for their projects. Buyers list the medium and type of art they want, artists pitch works that fit the vision, buyers shortlist the pieces they want. Think of it as the love child between Artspace and Pinterest.

Walk the walk, talk the art

Adding it all up...
"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."
—Vincent Van Gogh
You don’t have to be an artist to make art. Harness that spark of creativity inside you and make something—no rules, no end goals, just creation for the sake of learning, passion and enjoyment.
