Local arts run on passion and starve on funding.

Grants are slow and hard to navigate. Artists, producers, audiences and supporters have no shared place to find and fund each other.

Donors give without seeing where it lands. Arthur is designed to make that connection visible.

Community goodwill, returned

  1. Give time or money. Community Points land in your account.
  2. Donations pool in the Community Chest — public, to the dollar.
  3. Your points are your say in where it goes.
  4. Artists get paid. Producers get funded.

The honest state of the build.

$10/month × 750 donors = one full-time developer at $90,000/year

$25/month × 300 donors does the same.
