Free for Everyone. Funded by Sponsors.
Local Artist Network is a creative economy platform where nobody pays to participate. Sponsors invest in local culture, and the revenue flows to creators, venues, and the platform. Everyone earns.
Boulder pilot today: 15+ partner venues, 20+ creators, and 50+ indexed artworks on the network — still free to join.
