There’s a new app in town that showcases Tampa Bay artists, a digital “coffee table book” of sorts, developed by the super cool team at HD Interactive.
I didn’t even know until a few days before the launch party that they were the geniuses behind it. (I’ve done some creative copywriting work on a few projects for HDI CEO Sean Carey, so I know firsthand these guys turn out fantastic products.)
Artbook Tampa Bay will be available in the iTunes store for the iPad. The free “lite” version available now gives you a great overview, about a hundred stunning sneak peeks of featured artists’ work. I flipped through the app at the launch party and was amazed at the quality of the beautiful high def images. Also included are artist bios and contact and website info.
The most brilliant thing about Artbook Tampa Bay for art lovers is the accessibility--it’s a virtual gallery that welcomes anyone in the world to see what we have to offer. The huge bonus for the artists is the exposure. It doesn’t cost anything to submit work, although not all will be published. (A panel of art professionals help decide who will be included.)
Art is where you make it...and Artbook Tampa Bay is proof positive that it’s definitely being made here.
