Artxxx founder, Raphael xxxxxx

Having been raised in a family of independent professional musicians, I was propelled into the art industry at an early age. I’ve worked behind the scenes and on the production side of the arts where I’ve managed artists and launched major events and festivals.

Throughout my career, I’ve consistently been puzzled by the difficulties people face finding collaborators, jobs, and gigs in the art industry. It’s not that the initiatives or opportunities are absent, it’s that they are invisible: people working in the arts are lacking an efficient way of connecting with each other. Artxxx was created as an answer to stimulate professional networking in the arts.
