Is ARTRVL the new Airbnb for Artists?

Dear friends, 

When reading the spanish newspaper today, I came across this news: El nuevo precio del arte (The new price of art) 

In the article, they introduce the new app called ARTRVL which claims to be the new AirBnB for artists: an artist stays for free in exchange for art.

The artist who is behind this idea, Luanna Lee, was invited to a hotel cost-free in exchange of 3 murals painted on the hotel rooms.

She then came across the idea of expanding the collaborative travel initiated by AirBnB targeted to Artists: painters, graffiti, illustrators, musicians, video producers, designers, photographers...all them are welcome to participate in the several projects that requestors request in exchange to the free stay.

Watch the intro video here:


What do you think dear Steemit Artists? Is this something would you support in your area? 

A new branch for our @steembnb perhaps?

Looks a nice idea. There is a similar experience close to my city, an ancient building with a magnificent garden where artist stay for free in exchange for art, but just few artists (from all around the world) who are known in the world of Art.

yeah! there are few places like that here in Barcelona as well, but there is a entry procedure that you need to pass, as few slots are available and many artists looking for residence. This whole concept would democratize and make it affordable to all kind of artists!

Barcelona is a cozy city for artists, I know! Me and my hubby were in Barcelona 2 time in the past year and I hope to visit it sooner again!

Thanks for mentioning us! :D @hikki10
