With our social media /forum app for creatives currently in the process of being built, the creative community will be able to connect, share events, network, collaborate and build a sense of belonging within the creative community of Northern Ireland. Many artists from different backgrounds find themselves alone and with a lack of community because they need to focus on their work. I want to see the creative community supporting each other and growing together positively. The community app will help promote your creative business in the community as a whole as you will be immersed around like-minded individuals with common interests. 

This feature isn't like Facebook or Instagram as these platforms tailor to everybody in the world. My app is targeted at Artists, lovers of art, and organizations and charities that will offer collaborations to specific artists if the skills they possess fit their needs. For example, if a charity needs a Dancer or someone to show a youth group how to use DJ decks for a day or an event. This collaboration tool will benefit both the charity and the local artist. Art isn't just about painting and drawing so this app encourages all forms of creativity. In our forum section of the app, we have many topics ranging from poetry to tattoos to music production drama, sculpture, painting and much much more. This is so you can look up specific artists for possible collaborations and tune deeper into a genre within the community. Topics can be added by admin if requested. 

On our forum we also have an events and meet-up section where you can post any creative-based event to advertise or even just post a general meet-up enquiry. For example: "A group is meeting at the dock cafe @12. Feel free to join us", or "Let's go for a hike this Saturday".  To me this community isn't just about the art it's about building meaningful and lasting relationships through common interests. This app is also free!!!! Not sure I've mentioned bad pointers yet.

During the pre-launch of the app, Chloe's Creative Cave is going to be looking for creative artists who already have Spotify/Soundcloud uploads and YouTube videos available and who want their work advertised and posted on the app before the app gets launched officially to the public. There are two pages for audio-based creatives. A YouTube upload page and a file/recording upload page. we wish to have 20 uploads on each page before launching. 

Some examples of what the videos can range from are Music videos, dancing videos,  videos introducing the artist(for example a tattooist)and their work and their passion, and Videos that support awareness for community-focused charities in Northern Ireland. 

The voice recording uploads can range from singers, rappers, and poets, maybe you have a podcast account you want advertised? Have you thought of something you could upload that I haven't mentioned? get in touch below. 

If this is something you can contribute to please, GET IN TOUCH. If you as a creative artist have an official video or recording on the app of your creative work or business it could benefit everybody involved. Everybody who signs up will have instant access to viewing your work. After the 20 uploads are on each page any further uploads will cost a small £5 fee for uploading an advertisement video. This is to ensure that in the future we can update the app with stronger features that will further benefit the users.
