Art, pinned to the places that inspired it.
The Painted World is a geo-based art marketplace where original paintings live on a real interactive map at the exact location they depict. Instead of discovering art by category alone, you discover it through place.
What it does
Artists geo-pin paintings to the actual scene, landscape, building, or place they painted. Each pin is reviewed by our team before it appears on the world map. Collectors can explore the map and find original work connected to places they know, love, or dream about visiting.
Who it’s for
Artists, collectors, art related businesses, and curious art lovers. Artists can upload work, build a profile, sell originals, and grow a following. Collectors can browse, buy, save favorites, and build a collection tied to real places.
Community
Not every piece starts as a geo-pin. Community Hubs gather artists, businesses, and community art by city — a place to share work, discover local peers, and become part of a place-based art network.
Tips, support, and sales
Collectors can buy original artwork, follow artists, send direct messages, and send coffee tips as lightweight support. Artists can receive tips, connect Stripe for payouts, and build relationships around the work.
