Art Aia – Creatives / In / Residence has recently joined Wescover which is an online platform that connects the people, places, and stories behind design objects that impact our everyday lives and that credits and celebrates the Creators behind our experiences.

Wescover also works together with Google Lens which helps artists get discovered using AR/visual search. This visual search lets you look up what’s in front of you and, in the case of Wescover, leads you to an exact match. It’s an empowering tool for anyone interested in art. In the near future, Wescover will use this tool to reveal more 3D objects like furniture and light fixtures too. The platform features also an interactive map that automatically updates when items are added so visitors can see the range of the creative work growing on the map.
Art Aia is very pleased to collaborate with non-profit organization TransCultural Exchangein Hello World, an international project which represents a powerful gesture of global solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Below is a link to Hello World, an international project, where artists throughout the world have submitted art works to share with all of us. We hope you enjoy this gesture of goodwill and solidarity from our colleagues around the globe.
