01 — Overview
Plenty of talented artists never get seen. ArtNagar gives local artists a stage to show their work, reach a wider audience and turn their passion into a sustainable profession.
The problem
Local artists often lack a trusted place to display their portfolio, sell directly to buyers and raise money for exhibitions. Collectors, on the other hand, struggle to discover work happening in their own city.
The idea
One app that connects both sides: artists build profiles, sell prints and crowdfund shows, while art lovers explore local galleries, follow events and buy work in a few taps.
02 — Features
What the app does
Empowering artists
Create a personal profile, upload work and present your journey with simple tools that give patrons an immersive view of your art.
Monetizing creativity
Sell directly through a secure, streamlined purchase flow — choose a size and orientation, then buy. Artists get fair compensation without the usual barriers.
Funding artistic dreams
Artists hosting an exhibition can run a fundraising campaign with a progress bar, a date and venue, and a clear donate action.
A canvas for explorers
A curated selection of local galleries and artists, filtered by category: painting, visual art, contemporary, sculpture and more.
Connecting with events
An events section keeps users informed about gallery openings, art fairs and cultural gatherings nearby.
03 — The screens
A walkthrough of the core flow
Home
A feed of artwork cards with category tabs at the top. Each card shows the piece, its title and artist, with like and share within reach of the thumb.
- Scrollable categories: All, Painting, Visual Art, Contemporary, Sculpture
- Persistent bottom bar: home, add, menu
- Wordmark and tagline keep the brand present
App menu
A full-screen menu over a soft colour-glow background. Large serif links keep navigation calm and readable.
- Artists, Art Galleries, Upcoming Exhibitions
- Find Investor and Promote Your Work for artists
- Contact Support as the one outlined action
Search
One field for art title, keyword or artist. Recent searches sit below so people can jump back to what they were looking for, and each can be dismissed.
- Single, focused input
- Recent searches with one-tap removal
- The search icon swaps to a close icon to exit
Art screen
The artwork gets the full width. Title, artist and price sit above the image, with a Buy button that is always visible.
- Large image first, details second
- Price and Buy action grouped together
- Like and share overlaid on the artwork
Buy art
A short, clear purchase step: preview the piece, pick a print size, choose landscape or portrait, see the price and buy.
- Size options shown as proportional tiles (5x7, 8x8, 8x10, 10x12)
- Orientation as a simple two-way choice
- Expand icon to view the artwork full-size
Artist profile
The artist's page leads with a portrait and name, then a horizontal strip of featured work. Below it, a fundraising card supports exhibitions, and a second view lists the artist's full body of work.
- Featured work carousel
- Fundraising card: event, date, venue, progress and Donate
- Artist's Work: a scrolling list of every piece
04 — Design notes
Quiet interface, loud art
The interface stays dark and neutral so the artwork supplies all the colour. Surfaces are soft charcoal, buttons have a subtle metallic finish, and gradient glows appear only on overlay screens.
An italic and bold serif wordmark and serif headings give the app a gallery feel. A thin, light sans for screen labels and body copy keeps the supporting text out of the way.
