Mobile Apps for the Arts

Affordable Mobile Apps for Artists,
Non-profits, and Venues 

Share the arts by customizing your own mobile application. 

Mobile Technology is becoming more affordable, and more accessible to businesses and smart phone users. 

Artists are applying their creativity to technology to promote artistic works, build fundraising platforms, and expand their audience.  

Discover how easy it is to create a mobile app for an Artist, Non-profit organization, or venue. 




Here are some basic benefits to having a Mobile Application:



(a) Market yourself – almost everyone has a phone in their pocket, so never before was it possible to be so close to your users 100% of the time;

(b) Provide your customers and fans with enhanced knowledge about you and your product; 

(c) Let your brand become a useful tool and/or an entertainment device that people can keep going back to;

(d) Having an app of your own means you will be ahead of your competitors and it is something you can keep promoting for years to come;

(e) Apps are great advertisements.

We can give you a mobile site in addition to (or instead of) an app. Sometimes it makes sense to have both, because you always want to be where your customers are and make it as convenient as possible for them.

Apps can be built for most smartphones.

That includes iPhone (and iPad), Android, Blackberry, Windows, Nokia and other platforms. Mobile Apps can also be made for non-smartphones (Feature Phones).
