Sharing is caring

The current platforms that artists rely on for exposure are flooded with rigged algorithms, AI-generated content, and paid advertisers. Their unpaid labour is exploited, their visibility is fleeting, their income is unstable. Berlin's cultural and creative industries are not a nice accessory; they are a key economic driver for tourism. As Emma Enderby, director of the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, argues, "Culture and clubs bring people to Berlin."SCAR challenges this, as an online cooperative platform where artists and users trade and sell art. A small fee from every transaction is pooled into the scARTIST Fund (SF), then redistributed equally to all artists on the platform.Once purchased, art can be traded or resold between users, creating a secondary market where every transaction pays royalties to the original artist and also adds to the SF.SCAR is a Berlin-based, art-focused, democratic alternative to US big-tech monopolies, where every transaction supports all artists._ No ads
_ No algorithms
_ No AI art

Regular users can also come! You can customise your Profile, connect with friends and Studios, curate your taste, create events, and buy, sell, or trade art.

We are looking for 100 Berlin-based artists to join SCAR's founding group in 2027.Please write to us below if you're interested in:
