ArtRoute

ArtRoute is a mobile app (with a lightweight web companion) that builds self-guided art and culture walks from what’s open right now—galleries, public art, small museums, pop-ups, and cultural landmarks. Users pick a time window, walking tolerance, interests (contemporary, street art, photography, design, history), and accessibility needs. The app outputs a realistic route with visit durations, transit options, ticket requirements, and “worth it” notes sourced from a mix of community check-ins and AI-summarized venue info. It also handles the unglamorous parts: closures, last entry times, reservation links, and whether a place is basically a gift shop. Creators (local curators, students, critics) can publish themed routes and earn via tips or subscription revenue share. This is not a social feed; it’s a planning tool that reduces wasted trips and decision fatigue.
