As art enthusiasts, we came together over a shared excitement about building a product that could solve our own problem of connecting with the local art scene. But also a product that helps everyone thrive in this market: from art lovers and artists to museums and art galleries. Our mission is to bring people together through the power of art, using art as a catalyst for collective consciousness and reviving cultural venues as new third places. We envision a world where everyone can belong anywhere to the local art scene.
Today tech allows us to connect anywhere. Anytime. So why do we feel more lonely than ever? The sense of lost togetherness isn’t new. The decline of ‘third places’—those vital community hubs between home and work—has fueled the loneliness epidemic. These spaces, like parks or salons, used to foster chance encounters, sharing, and a sense of togetherness. The most important historical third place has been places of worship, which have traditionally held communities together, but they are loosing popularity lately. Many of us seek similar connections in new ways—yoga, meditation, and reflective practices. Yet the art potential remains untapped.
Mae (mythology) was a deity of the Etruscan Pantheon and he was identified with Jupiter because of his magnificence. Jupiter is the archetype that acts as a bridge between the personal and transpersonal worlds. He symbolises growth and expansion as well as social adaptation to the culture and world in which one lives; his is a quest for enrichment and improvement in every field: cultural, psychological and spiritual. We didn't choose this name, this name choose us and that's another reason why we feel part of a greater mission.
