How ArtCommunityHub works

Free for artists, always. Organisations pay a small commission only when a paid project actually completes.

Artists & Performers

Sign up with your name and city — it takes a minute and costs nothing.

Say what you actually create — Bharatanatyam, tabla, voice-over, Lippan, crochet, photography, or any of nearly 200 art forms. Not just "artist".

Build your profile — bio, photo, and at least 3 portfolio pieces so organisations can judge your work.

Discover open projects in your city and art form, plus grants, auditions, residencies and open calls.

Apply with a short proposal and your fee, then track where your application stands.

Get hired, get paid, get credit — every completed project builds a permanent, verified record that wins you the next one.

Organisations

Sign up as a venue, school, NGO, CSR team, cultural institution, production house, casting agency, government body, shop or individual client.

Search by what you actually need — the specific art form, the city, the experience level. Or post a project and let artists come to you.

Review real portfolios — see their work, their Trust Score and reviews from organisations who hired them before.

Shortlist & accept the right artist for the job.

Agree the fee — recorded on the platform, with a small, transparent commission shown upfront.

Confirm delivery — payment is released once the work is done, and you leave a review that helps the next organisation.

How we keep it trustworthy

Hiring someone you've never met is a real risk, on both sides. Here's exactly what protects you — and, just as importantly, what doesn't.

Verification is done by a person

A Verified badge means someone on our team has actually checked that account — a call, and ID or business registration. It isn't automatic and it can't be bought. It is a good-faith review, not a police or legal background check.

Payment is tracked, step by step

The fee is agreed and recorded before work starts. The organisation confirms payment sent, the artist confirms the work delivered, and the record shows both. No more relying on a verbal promise and hoping.

Reviews come only from real, completed projects

Nobody can review a project they weren't part of, and nobody can review twice. Every review is permanently tied to a real booking made through the platform — which is why they mean something.

Trust Score, with the maths shown

Every artist's Trust Score is public, and so is its full breakdown: verified identity, completed projects, reviews, and profile completeness. You can see exactly why someone scored what they did, rather than trusting a number.

If something goes wrong

Either side can raise a dispute, and our team reviews the record and mediates in good faith. We're not a court — our decision isn't legally binding, and neither side gives up any legal right by using the platform.

What we're honest about

Payment currently moves directly between the organisation and the artist by bank transfer or UPI. We record and verify it, but we don't hold the funds — we're not a licensed payment company. A proper payment gateway is on the way, and we'll say so plainly when it arrives.
