We created ArtCal.co to encourage Australians to return to galleries after having endured isolation and lockdowns for much of last year, and to support gallery owners and artists who have struggled during COVID-19. We couldn’t find a site that did this really well, so we decided to make our own.

  • This has been a tough year for many Australians, and there's little doubt that those within the Arts industry have suffered significantly as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. While many businesses have been able to successfully pivot during COVID-19, this has proven to be more difficult for smaller galleries and those who represent upcoming or lesser-known artists. We designed [ArtCal.co](http://artcal.co/) to support the arts industry in its post-lockdown recovery. We believe that it will encourage more people to go to local galleries and, in turn, support local artists and the industry.

  • ArtCal.co allows users to easily find art exhibitions in a chosen area, on a chosen date. The site has been designed for desktop and mobile, and provides simple functionality - you can browse art exhibitions by date, save exhibitions to your 'favourites' to view later, suggest exhibitions (which can be submitted by either galleries, artists or patrons), and switch between cities. We are launching in Melbourne and Sydney initially, and plan to launch in the rest of Australia in the new year.
