ArtForm
ArtForm is founded by Danielle Shubsda, Katrina Chan, and McKenna Woodlan. Born in Professor Garland’s Entrepreneurship & Business Development Class, ArtForm is an easy-to-use platform, both a website and an app, for event planners and entertainment artists with 24/7 customer service support. Throughout our verification process, we eliminate the need for artists to have an advocate and open artists' eyes to unique performance opportunities. We also enable event planners to gain access to a variety of performers who are affordable, accessible, and high quality. Focusing on corporate, social, and personal events, ArtForm is the Bumble for connecting event planners and entertainers.

Simultaneously, our service provides hotels with a network of independent on-demand workers to contract with on an as needed basis without the hassle or cost of hiring and maintaining full-time employees.
