A UX/UI design project creating an interactive platform for discovering art, artists, and exhibitions. The app combines a location-based map, personalized recommendations, and a visual-first interface to make art exploration more accessible and engaging.

While art information is abundant online, it’s often fragmented across different museum sites, making it difficult for casual art enthusiasts to know what to search for or where to start. The goal was to create a centralized, intuitive, and inspiring tool for discovering art in a way that feels personal.

Help people discover new artists, pieces, and exhibitions in their area.

  1. Engage those interested in art but not deeply involved in the art world.

  2. Consolidate information (normally scattered across museum websites) into one accessible, interactive platform

How might we make discovering art and exhibitions more accessible and engaging for casual audiences?

How might we use location-based features to make exhibitions easier to discover in real time?

How might we design a more visual-first experience that replaces the need for audio guides?

How can we personalize art discovery to introduce users to new artists and pieces they might not discover on their own?
