Take a closer look on what is Artunio and why it is important on this page.
Don’t forget to stay updated for the campaign on Indiegogo!
Artunio is a social network for everyone who loves art and wants to experience it on a platform that is dedicated to putting arts and artists in the spotlight. Whether it’s music, theater, dance, visual arts or any other art form – Artunio covers them all.
Fundamentally yes. However, it will have specific features for their users to experience and connect with art and connect with their favorite artists better. Life on Artunio will be very different from what you are used to right now because you will only find artistic content on the platform.
You will be able to focus on what interests you the most by choosing your preferred art content. i.e. classical music or contemporary theater, and join chat groups dedicated to those topics. Users can create their own private groups for their students, fans, supporters and friends who share the same love for the arts.
Artunio will be launched six months after a successful crowdfunding campaign for all users to sign up, create their profiles and start using the new social network.
Yes, it is and will always be FREE. Our income will be based on advertising revenue and additional subscriptions for specific features. You will only find relevant ads on Artunio.
Yes. We will provide users with the ability to run paid ads on the platform, which will strictly be industry-related. For example cultural or artistic events, workshops, concerts or ads promoting music instruments, books etc..
Users would be able to create exclusive content about their creative process, behind the scenes, professional or personal life and other users would be able to unlock this content with a monthly subscription. This way artists would have an option to generate monthly income from their content.
Artunio is a social network for everyone who loves art and wants to experience it on a platform that is dedicated to putting arts and artists in the spotlight. Whether it’s music, theater, dance, visual arts or any other art form – Artunio covers them all.
Simply said – it’s for people who are tired of the way popular social media like Instagram or TikTok work and would rather experience or connect with art on a different platform built for that purpose.
It’s for artists and art lovers who want to be inspired by art, who want to build a better connection with their favorite artists and also for people who want to directly support artists and their work.
Artunio is for those who think the arts deserve a second chance and artists their space, where their work and content can now be properly valued and celebrated.
There are two things you can do to receive Artunio.
The first one: Choose one of the crowdfunding options – called perks. By choosing one, you will gain access to all the exclusive content from every artist on Artunio for a specific amount of time ranging from one to more than 24 months. Yes, that’s right. All exclusive content from all your favorite artists!
Wait, that’s not it. You can also choose your preferred date to start your access to the exclusive content, so it’s all according to your convenience.
These amazing options are available only throughout the crowdfunding campaign. After that, you will have to instead subscribe to each individual artist to unlock any exclusive content.
The second one: Share the word of Artunio with your community both online and offline. To do that – Go to our Instagram, choose one or more of our reels and share them in your stories. You can also record a video to introduce Artunio to your followers and invite them to become part of the crowdfunding campaign as well. This way, we would then be able to raise enough resources faster.
“Artunio Gigs” is one of the features of Artunio. It will allow artists to get booked on events around the world easier and without commission! Artists will be able to get booked by more than 400 festivals around the world from many art forms!
Our prior experiences within the industry has shed light on the necessary expenses of hiring skilled professionals who can deliver the best possible product within our projected time frame of 6 months. So before your head explodes, just know that the $100k will be distributed among salaries for the development team, legalities, data security and other basic operational costs.
The start of the crowdfunding campaign is set for the 16th of October this year.
Yes. A lot of creators don’t have the opportunity to use certain platforms outside their countries due to language or privacy concerns. We intend to provide Artunio in multiple languages so more professional opportunities can be made accessible to artists from all corners of the world. Artists would be able to build audiences worldwide.
Indiegogo is a global crowdfunding platform that democratizes the way people raise funds for any project such as creative, entrepreneurial, or cause-related. The platform enables individuals and startups to generate pre-product sales and collect feedback from early adopters before they begin manufacturing.
If you are new to crowdfunding or Indiegogo you may not know how it all works and what are perks. Basically Indiegogo is a digital platform where you can support a project you want to become a reality.
The people working on the project therefore don’t need to have a lot of capital to start with. They also find out how many people are interested in their project.
You can decide to support their project by donating a small sum of money and in return for your financial support you can choose among perks that are available. They are a way to say thank you and also provide you with value.

This is a very good question. So, we started to work on Artunio about two years ago and what we started with is interviewing artists from around the world regarding struggles in their professional careers and what they thought would help them achieve their goals.
We’ve spoken to artists from Japan, Malaysia, Senegal, Costa Rica, Brazil, Canada, Israel, US, Italy, Spain, Germany etc. And the problems that emerged were so individually different for each country and even art form. For example, classical musicians need to build their careers very differently from filmmakers or even jazz musicians.
The issues vary from very pragmatic issues such as not having enough work opportunities, or a lack of resources to fund their artistic projects, audience building, and the uninviting environment created by popular social media. You know, basically how their work is perceived with the surrounding content.
And I get it, it’s like going into a local pub and trying to show your artistic work there. You see, Instagram is suited more for fashion, travel, lifestyle, food etc. So it’s not only about what or how you post, it’s really about where you post.
Through all our conversations with said artists, we agreed that a huge source of the problems are directly connected with the way social media works and that significant change was needed.
For that to happen, we need our own art ecosystem – our own social network which will help artists around the world bring arts closer to people – to you.
So, it became our mission to help artists and people working in the arts and culture to build that ecosystem, to build Artunio, where you can not only enjoy the arts in an environment designed for that purpose, but to also help artists build sustainable careers. That’s why Artunio ís important.
Artunio is different in many ways and here are the three main principles.
You will be able to find artists around the world more easily since the platform is designed for this purpose.
Without restrictive algorithms, artists can create and post what they truly want which allows you to interact and dive into the essence of their creations more deeply.
Also, you will be able to join the private groups of your favorite artists where they might share more from their professional or personal plans and even educational material for free.
And most importantly, you can gain access to the exclusive content of your favorite artists for an affordable monthly subscription.
We want to change the way people perceive art by reducing the pressure of being ‘liked’. Arts cannot be valued through a click of a button, and needs a much deeper sense of appreciation.
So we intend to remove a ‘like’ button that you’ll normally find in all the other platforms. Instead, you can let the artists know how their content impacted you. Were you educated, moved or inspired? This way, they would be able to see their weekly, monthly or even yearly summary of how many people they have rightfully impacted.
On top of it all, Artunio Gigs will provide musicians and other artists new networking opportunities and the chance to be booked for festivals and other events around the world.
