Project Goal:
Our goal is to provide a place for talented artists to sell their masterpieces to people around the world, promote the work of small artists, develop small enterprises by selling their limited products, and reduce the level of fraud with the existence of NFT as the Certificate of Authenticity. That way we hope to prosper the less famous artists so that they get promotion and development media and contribute to increasing the countryâs income.
Project Value:
Currently, the rate of counterfeiting of artworks is still very high. By using NFTs as a certificate of ownership of each artwork purchased, we prevent the circulation of counterfeit works to the public. By recording information based on blockchain technology, the entire flow of transactions and transfer of ownership of a work can be tracked properly, creating a healthy ecosystem for art lovers in the world.

Project Details:
On the third of March, the police force of the province of Ontario revealed that their probe into a group of counterfeiters of artworks by the famous Ojibwe artist Norval Morrisseau had exposed âthe largest art scam in world historyâ. The case led to the arrest of eight peopleâincluding a relative of the deceased painterâand the confiscation of more than 1,000 paintings. The group of counterfeiters used forced child labour in sweatshops as well as the abuse of talented young Indigenous artists, highlighting bigger national problems about Canadaâs treatment of First Nations people. Besides forgery of artworks, artists also lack a place to market their works. This affects the welfare of the artists who are low and causes a decrease in the number of artist professions in Indonesia. According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the number of artist professions in Indonesia has decreased by 23% from 2019 to 2022. On the other hand, micro, small and medium enterprises in Indonesia have an important role in the national economy. Small enterprises contribute up to 60% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, many Small enterprises are not digitally literate and have not utilized the potential of online markets. Therefore, Artbeat wants to empower Small enterprises and artists to sell their products on our platform. With good collaboration, we believe we can have a huge impact on both sides of the existing industry.
To solve the existing problems, we created Artbeat. Artbeat is a curated art marketplace that aims to connect people who appreciate arts and artists who are working with physical or digital mediums. On our platform, we not only sell artworks such as paintings, photography, and sculptures. But we also sell products from small artists that are sold by small enterprises in Indonesia in various forms such as shoes, bags, necklaces, and more.
To prevent fraudulent artwork purchases, we have used a blockchain network to verify all artworks on our platform. Each artwork on our platform will get a certificate of authenticity registered as an NFT. In order to maintain safety in shipping, we have worked closely with experienced art handlers to ensure all artwork purchased can be shipped safely worldwide. In addition, we also work closely with art curators to ensure the authenticity of the work before making the NFT certificate of authenticity.
To ensure the sustainability of this project, we have collaborated with more than 20 artists in the world to participate in our project. We also work with more than 5 small businesses engaged in fashion in Indonesia to be able to develop together in facilitating artists to create their work on clothing, bags, shoes and other media. By working with many parties, we believe we can form a healthy ecosystem for art lovers and web3 technology activists.
Weâre excited to introduce two new key features that are poised to enhance the experience on our platform:
-
Auction artworks:
- A feature where users can buy a work of art using an auction system. With this feature, users can now buy a work of art according to the price set by the market itself.
-
Buy local merch with mint NFTs
- By collaborating with small businesses engaged in fashion, we sell various fashion items such as shoes, clothes, bags, and various other things that have been painted by the artists who work with us. The number of items provided is also very limited, for that users will get a certificate of authenticity of the item in the form of NFT.
By penetrating new target markets, we project our business valuation to grow to $522.023 in the next 2 years. You can also check the latest information through our social media IG : @artbeat

The first quarter of 2024 marks a crucial phase in the projectâs growth. To fuel expansion and development efforts, the team will organize fundraising initiatives. These initiatives may include seeking investments from venture capitalists, conducting crowdfunding campaigns, or exploring partnerships with potential investors. The funds raised will be vital for scaling up operations. - Preparing for Product Launch in Thailand
One of the strategic moves in this quarter is to prepare for the launch of the platform in Thailand. This involves comprehensive planning, including market research, localization of the platform to cater to Thai users, building relationships with local artists and businesses, and compliance with any regulatory requirements specific to the Thai market. Pre-launch activities may also include marketing and promotional campaigns to create awareness and anticipation among potential users in Thailand.
