How It Started
Welcome to Reviewed by Artists
A platform born from necessity and nurtured through passion.
I'm Jay, an artist like many of you, who once found myself lost in the maze of searching for the perfect artist residency. The challenge was not just in finding opportunities but in uncovering the experiences behind them — real, unbiased insights from fellow artists.
The Challenge
My journey began in 2023, when I embarked on a quest to find residencies that would fuel my artistic growth. I quickly realized that while opportunities were plentiful, structured information and real reviews from previous residents were scarce. This gap made the search not only daunting but also incredibly inefficient.
The Aha Moment
It was during a particularly frustrating search that the idea for Reviewed by Artists struck me. What if there was a platform that centralized this scattered information? A place where artists could share their residency experiences openly, offering insights that could guide others?
The Solution
Driven by this vision, I set out to create Reviewed by Artists. Our platform is more than just a directory; it's a community where artists can find and share genuine reviews of residencies worldwide. By standardizing data and emphasizing the value of shared experiences, we aim to make the discovery process as seamless as possible.
Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, we envision a world where artists can effortlessly connect with residencies that match their aspirations, fueled by the power of community insights. Join us on this journey, and together, let's demystify the path to finding your next artistic home.
