Artàporter: Tinder-style app matches emerging artists with bars and restaurants in Turin

Artàporter, a startup based in Turin, has launched a platform that functions like a dating app to connect emerging artists with commercial venues such as bars, restaurants, and shops. Founded by Massimo Gioscia and Dario Ujetto, along with co-founders Savio Musicco and Alyona Kosareva, and supported by Pierangelo Decisi, Emanuele Buscaglione, and Gaetano Coppola through the ISC incubator, the app aims to revitalize physical spaces hit by the pandemic while giving visibility to young artists outside the traditional gallery system. Hosts offer wall space for artworks; if a sale occurs, the host receives 5% and the artist 100%. Unsold works are reassigned after one to three months. The platform also creates alternative art districts via geolocation, with 15 venues already participating in Turin. The project is part of Torino Social Impact.
