The co-founders present an innovative platform dedicated to art.
Who are you ?
My name is Ulysse Agassin, photographer and, next to me, Ulrich Dohou who is a web developer and software engineer.
We are both passionate about art and founders of Weartskep, the immersive art gallery.
How did this project get started ?
Weartskep came into being as a result of the difficulties I encountered as an artist photographer. I struggled to do my first photographic exhibition because I didn’t know anyone in the area and I lacked support, but also visibility.
So I decided to create a virtual space for all artists, photographers, painters, designers and sculptors so that they can exhibit their works easily without difficulty and at a lower cost.
To carry out this project, our team therefore carried out a market study in order to better understand and apprehend the real problems of artists and those who support artists “in love with art”.
At that moment, our showroom project has rotated giving birth to Weartskep, the immersive art gallery where history and emotion are part of our value proposition. We launched the streaming channel in early January and the marketplace will launch in the first quarter of 2021.
What does Weartskep consist of?
Weartskep is both a cultural entertainment platform and a marketplace. We offer a suitable solution that meets a double need. First, that of artists who wish to give more visibility to their work and their works as a sales facilitator. Then, that of passionate individuals or novices who wish to discover art with emotion.
Weartskep offers concrete interactive tours (Weartskep TV) with an immersion behind the scenes of the artist to better understand his artistic approach and his thoughts.
It also allows the purchase and sale of paintings and works of art. It also offers facilities for acquiring works. This taking into account the purchasing power of the French.
We also offer the rental of works of art and payments in installments for those who wish to purchase the work but do not have sufficient means.
For the proper development of Weartskep, we are supported by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Hérault (CCI 34), Context’Art and, finally, the innovative business incubator Ionis 361.
What are your goals ?
Our primary objective is to promote the work of artists and art galleries in the Occitanie region, to help them to be able to make a living from their art (therefore to reinvest in the region).
But also to be part of the leaders of the art market by constantly meeting the needs of artists, art galleries, art lovers and collectors.
