It was on a winter day in January in the French countryside when innovative mixed-media artist and painter Cathy Savels and her partner, web developer Joe Biro, came up with the idea of creating a free platform for artists from different disciplines. Little did they know that their New Year’s Resolution was going to become a global success of magnitude only a few platforms reach in such a short period of time.

The idea was born from the sheer frustration of approaching one gallery after another and being met with much snobbery, arrogance, aloofness and general unhelpfulness; not very different from what other artists have faced in other corners of the world.Cathy and Joe wanted to give artists a place where they could be seen and would be able to openly express their creativity.

Their vision of the platform was to encourage artists to share and expose their works in a personal gallery. Members would have a personal blog space, a gallery to showcase their work, a chat room, a forum and a video upload function. The discussion boards would serve as active halls to grow in the creative process while networking and connecting to international like-minded artists.
