£100k Award for Magnolia Box & Artistic.ly

The team got some good news last week when it was confirmed that we've been awarded £100k match funding from the Technology Strategy Board to help us develop a new website called Artistic.ly.

Artistic.ly will be a social marketplace for artists to connect with consumers. It takes all of our experience of working with large institutions and opens it up to the individual.

Artistic.ly will allow artists to upload digital images of their works and transform them into high quality prints. Our team will take care of everything else from marketing, manufacturing, fulfilment and customer care.

In terms of content, Artistic.ly will initially be focused on street art and illustration and we already have a team of ‘Artistic.ly Ambassadors’ working to ensure that the right artists are involved from the start.
