Artisthere answers the question no feed can: who's creating amazing work within 10 km of me — and would I never have found them otherwise?
49 artists · 22 spaces · 19 neighbourhoods, live in Vancouver.
Local bands, muralists, photographers, ceramicists, poets, and small festivals are scattered across Instagram, TikTok, Eventbrite, Spotify, and posters in coffee shops. No one owns the discovery layer — so it asks who has the most followers? instead of who's making great work near you.

How it works
Or just open the map. Discovery is driven by similarity, quality, location, and community.
The artists, shows, galleries, and makers within walking distance — most you'd never have found.
Attend, collect, follow, and buy. Build a cultural identity from what you've actually experienced.
For artists
Most artists don't have a marketing team. Artisthere gives you one: build a verified profile, then let the AI manager draft social posts, newsletters, and press releases, and surface the venues, collaborators, and festivals that fit your work.
Cafés, galleries, breweries, and stages can promote events, find and book local artists, and showcase who they host. Tourism boards and arts councils can sponsor discovery in their region.
Query the cultural graph and embed local discovery anywhere.
See plans & partnershipsArtisthere maps how artists, venues, events, neighbourhoods, and taste connect — so it can answer questions no platform can: which neighbourhoods are becoming hubs for indie music, which cafés consistently support local visual artists, which emerging artists sound like the ones you love.
