Artura.org is the world's first free online database of diverse contemporary art. After developing the first prototype of Artura.org, Brandywine Workshop and Archives was looking for a sleeker redesign and a brand-new mobile app.
Levra Labs worked with Being Design to give Artura.org a visual facelift, allow for greater mobile accessibility, and elevate the overall browsing experience for art professionals, students, and educators alike.
Over the course of eight months, we worked closely with Being Design and Brandywine Workshop and Archives to design, build, and launch a more modern interface for Artura.org on both desktop and mobile devices.
We met on a weekly basis to showcase progress updates, troubleshoot development issues, and ensure that Artura.org truly served the needs of its target users.
Inspired by Spotify, Apple Music, and IMDB, we crafted a clean, intuitive, device-responsive interface to create an enjoyable browsing experience for our users across devices.
Our goal was to make it easy and fast for a user to find what they needed on Artura.org. The solution was to clean up deprecated metadata and standardize data labels across artworks, artists, exhibitions, and collections.
To allow users to curate their own art collections and save their favorites, we set up a new backend system and new API endpoints to handle user account management and authentication.
To ensure that users could easily explore Artura.org on all devices, we developed a new mobile application for both iOS and Android users.
The new Artura.org site and mobile app were finished and deployed in late 2024. The official launch will take place in 2025.
Artura.org allows educators, students, and art professionals to easily discover, study, and explore artworks made by diverse and contemporary artists. The platform now allows users to browse art by heritage, save their favorite artworks, and explore different art collections on both desktop and mobile devices.
Discover new artworks and artists as you browse our collections by geographic region and by heritage.
Dive deep into the background and metadata of each artwork, artist, exhibition, and collection.
Search and filter artworks and artists by keyword, heritage, medium, and year.
Save your favorite artworks, artists, exhibitions, and collections for future reference.
