“Similar to Pinterest, ArtStack’s homepage boasts a panoply of images of artwork uploaded by users. Users can drag an “Add to ArtStack” button to the top of their browsers so that they can add photos while surfing the web, or download ArtStack’s iPhone app to snap pictures while gallery hopping.”
A new social media forum and app to share art, the library of masterpieces is extensive. The social platform makes me think back to all those pictures I took when visiting museums – those good times when I travelled to see the new and the old works – and now having a place to collate them.
I also appreciate that this has been taken up by not only artist but museums themselves. Often I have found museums inaccessible when trying to organise my travels and discover what collections they have that I may want to explore, their websites have been getting better but they often boast the most renound works, I think that this little social gem may offer insight into those peices only a traveller may discover.
Let’s see see how this new channel develops.
