Independent artists in smaller cities like Rochester do not have a dedicated online platform to promote and sell their artwork to local and global art collectors. They are most often discovered by just friends and family. There is high supply of art because independent and budding professional artists are constantly creating artworks, but they cannot sell those pieces without finding the right buyers.

We believe that online competitors such as Deviantart or Etsy are unable to connect buyers and artists to people in their local area. We want to take the focus from the screen to the people in the city, to focus on the real human connections that the application can bring. Galleries and exhibition spaces are also troubling - how artists often need to pay a fee or royalty to exhibit and sell their artworks - but through our application, we aim to give back to the artist as much of the earning as possible. And for the community of collectors and art-lovers, Art House hopes to be the destination to discover, learn about and collect artworks and thereby appreciate local art scene.

Our main intent with this app was to use ARCore in order to give users an idea of what the painting would look like in their own homes. Eventually, we would like this app to go on to the Google Play Store after more refinements.
