Today, the world’s population has well and truly adopted apps into their everyday lives. Some people use apps to read the latest interviews. Others might use an app to purchase an item online, while someone else might use one to conduct banking enquiries. There is an app for almost everything, art included.
Throughout time, artists have always strived to increase art’s accessibility and make it more available to the masses. Apps provide exactly that as many people have a smartphone or a tablet these days, which, subsequently, opens up genres like art to people at the touch of a button. Some of us use our smartphones for other purposes, be it to play the hugely popular Starburst slots that offers plenty of fun, or to upload the latest image on Instagram, but apps based around art are popular also. Some art apps might find the best local exhibitions, while others offer a selection of masterpieces from all around the world.
