Artistic Club

Enjoy independent works of art, share your creativity and get feedback

A key concept here is "integrity of arts". A song needs lyrics, a book needs illustrations, a film needs screenplay, music, photos, etc... That's why, at Artistic Club you'll find artworks of all types and genres: texts, films, images, music.

The site's content is made out of users' works, so you're welcome to upload your texts, films, images, music. Show the world your talent!

"Giving is receiving". You need feedback for your works and you'll get it. But be tolerant and start reviewing other artworks yourself.

You can either review an artwork of your choice or let the System choose a random one for you by requesting review. Thus everyone has a fair chance to get reviewed.

Test your artworks in online contests. You can even create your own contests

Submit your already uploaded artworks to user created online contests.

The Artistic Club users vote democratically for their favorite works and choose the contest winners.

This is the only place on the web where you can create your own art contests with your conditions and prizes.

Winners' prizes and submissions fees are in the Artistic Club's virtual currency called Artes.

Get involved in art projects and create your projects so others can take part in them

Imagine you're a filmmaker and you need a music score for your indie film. You create a project at Artistic Club which is about composing a soundtrack. You specify your conditions and a value in Artistic Club's virtual currency called Artes.

Another user who is a musician accepts your project. She records the track and thus completes the project. She receives the value you specified.

Then, the musician who in turn needs a cover for her new album, creates another project about graphic design. A fellow user who works as a graphic designer would probably help her...

The circle goes on and on and you take part actively in art projects by doing what you love, help others and get help from others.

Your efforts and actions here are valued fairly by Artes

Of course, everything at Artistic Club is absolutely free! But this site is mainly about interaction between users, artworks, contests, projects. Your efforts need to be measured so everything goes fair when compared to other user's efforts. That's why we introduce the virtual currency called Artes.

Artes works as "gold units" in a game. It gives value to what you give and what you receive. It has nothing to do with real money.

If you complete a project or if another user completes a project for you, you exchange Artes with them. If you win a contest, you'll get the prize the contest creator specified in Artes.

If you review an artwork that the System chose for you by requesting review then you get Artes. And the other way round, when you upload, you give Artes to the System. So you're stimulated to review and in turn others are stimulated to review your artworks.

Artistic Club with a new look and feel

Remember the old Artistic Club's main menu and context-sensitive submenus on the left? The dark background and the logo with pyramid?

Although it used to be very functional, that design was, as a friend commented, "so 80's".

Now we have a new web 2.0 design, the forms are a bit nicer looking and the menu structure is more user friendly. Oh, as you may have noticed, there's a quick tour on the site's features at the frontpage.

Enjoy!

Creative Commons License

Inspired by the concept of non-profit artworks sharing, we brought the option to apply a Creative Commons license to your artworks in Artistic Club. When you upload your work, you'll find a license select box where you can choose one of the main Creative Commons licenses. When you upload your work, it's title will be accompanied by the selected license's logo and link. The default option is "All Rights Reserved". To you as an author, of course.

Economic principles of “Artocracy”

Is it possible virtual economy to function in an arts website?

And to regulate the relationships among the users, their activities in the site and their products? A global economy independent of the global financial crisis, where you settle your payments in virtual currency?
