Art Network

A social network for the art community

85 followers

ArtNetwork is a social network focused on artists and collectors. Artists share studio updates, exhibitions, and new work directly with the people who follow them. Collectors and curators can follow artists and stay up to date through a simple, chronological feed — no algorithms, no engagement tricks. ArtNetwork is designed for long-term visibility and meaningful connection, not virality.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m Adam, the maker of ArtNetwork.io, StudioArchive.io, ArtCollection.io, and ArtMaster.io. Art Network came out of building tools for artists and collectors and realizing that most existing social platforms—Instagram in particular—are no longer especially friendly to artists. Between constant ads, an ever-changing mix of formats, algorithmic pressure, and the blending of personal and professional life, it’s become difficult to simply share work, process, and updates in a focused, sustainable way. Most platforms optimize for reach and engagement. We wanted to optimize for long-term practice and followership. Art Network is intentionally quieter: chronological posts, fewer distractions, and a space where artists can share real updates and collectors can actually keep up without noise. Would love feedback from artists, collectors, curators, and anyone thinking about how creative communities should work online. Happy to answer questions.

A chronological, no-algorithms feed for artists/collectors is a refreshing “anti-engagement-tricks” stance. The scale pain is trust + provenance (original work, editions) while keeping it calm; best practice is signed uploads + EXIF preservation, optional watermarking, and lightweight verification (studio/venue links) without turning into KYC. How are you handling media storage/rights controls (who can download/repost), and do you plan “collections/exhibitions” as first-class objects so posts can roll up into a clean portfolio timeline?

@ryan_thill Really appreciate this perspective. The chronological, no-algorithm feed is very intentional. A lot of the art community feels platforms like Instagram broke discovery when they moved away from chronology. If an artist I follow releases a print, I want to know when it’s released — not when it happens to rank in an algorithm.

We’ll continue to explore provenance and trust thoughtfully, without turning the platform into a verification or engagement game.

For artists who want deeper documentation, ArtNetwork integrates with StudioArchive.io, which acts as a system of record for works, editions, dimensions, and exhibition history. Posts can reference documented works without forcing heavy verification upfront.

Thanks again for the thoughtful comment — this kind of feedback is exactly why we built this.
