Problem summary

Artists, galleries and organisers rely on scattered channels to promote art, reach buyers and fill exhibitions or events. Art lovers struggle to discover relevant artworks and activities in one place. This fragmentation makes it harder for sellers to generate income and for audiences to find and book what interests them.

Solution summary

Kunstmarkt.be is building one platform where artists, galleries and organisers can present artworks, promote events and offer exhibition spaces. Visitors will be able to discover art, buy works and book activities in one place, helping providers reach customers and reducing the need to search across separate websites.

Customers and market summary

Our target customers are artists, galleries, event organisers and exhibition venues in Belgium. Users include collectors, art buyers and people seeking exhibitions and creative activities. We plan to expand into other European markets.

What steps have you taken to validate the market?

We have developed a prototype and launched a landing page inviting potential partners to register for a presentation and discussion. Initial informal feedback has been encouraging. Structured customer interviews, pricing tests and paid pilots are the next steps.
