Artist Hub: A Web Platform for Art Sales, Promotion, and Secure Transactions for Local Cavite

Abstract

Digital platforms have transformed the sale and promotion of art, providing local artists with innovative avenues to showcase their work, expand their audience, and engage with potential buyers. Despite these advantages, numerous artists, particularly in Cavite, encounter challenges such as the inability to view their work in person, the absence of centralized systems that address their professional requirements, and concerns regarding the security of their transactions. Social media facilitates access to resources, yet it often fails to address the requirements of artists, as it lacks mechanisms to verify identities and ensure secure transactions. These issues underscore the necessity of a digital infrastructure tailored to support artists and foster trust among art purchasers in the region.
