About Artloom Feidhm Phríomhúil: Feidhmchlár Soghluaiste

Téacs an Leabhair: Is feidhmchlár soghluaiste é ArtLoom a nascann ealaíontóirí atá ag teacht chun cinn le bailitheoirí ealaíne. Is minic a bhraitheann sé deacair d'ealaíontóirí nua a gcuid saothair a dhíol, agus is minic nach mbíonn a fhios ag bailitheoirí nua cá háit le tosú. Baineann ArtLoom inspioráid as meáin shóisialta agus feidhmchláir dhátaithe. Déanann bailitheoirí brabhsáil ar shaothair ealaíne i ndánlann fhíorúil tumthach agus faigheann siad rogha laethúil bunaithe ar a nósanna brabhsála. Cuireann próifílí ealaíontóirí an scéal atá taobh thiar de gach saothar i láthair. Tacaíonn cúntóir comhrá intleachta saorga leis an gcumarsáid idir ealaíontóirí agus bailitheoirí. Tá ArtLoom deartha do ghléasanna iOS.
