Art Is The Horizon
Discover real artists near you
A living map of the artists all around you. Find them, and let them find you.
Art Is The Horizon is a free platform, much like a map, for discovering real local artists near you: musicians, rappers, DJs, producers, singers, painters, sculptors, dancers, photographers, authors, and actors, plus art studios. Founded by Jared Marcus, it maps independent creators by their general area so people can find and connect with them.

Our mission
Our mission is to connect artists. Real creators, across every discipline, so you can find each other and get found by the people around you.
What does Art Is The Horizon mean?
It means you do not have to box yourself into one lane. You can be more than a singer, a dancer, a sculptor, or a guitarist. You can be all four at once.
The Artist’s Way
Julia Cameron on living a creative life.
Rick Rubin
“You are either living as an artist or you are not.”
How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci
Michael J. Gelb. Leonardo was a sculptor, a painter, a scientist, an engineer, an architect, a theorist, and more.
My own path
I never wanted to just be a rapper. I also want to be an entrepreneur, an author, an actor, and a painter.
I always wanted to connect with more creative people. It can be hard to find a feature, cover art, or help in a different artistic niche, especially close to home. In a world this connected, the arts can still feel isolating. Here, you can find them all around you. Why live in one vertical, when art is the horizon?
How do I find artists near me?
Open the map and you will see real artists near you. Tap a pin to view a profile. When you are ready, put yourself on the map so others can find you too.
01
The Map
View the artists near you. Browse by what they do and where they are.
02
Your Pin
Create your profile and claim your spot. Your exact location is never shown. Your pin sits in the general area you represent, and you can move it any time, or set a temporary spot when you travel.
Not another social network
This is not another social network you have to stress about posting on. You connect the socials you already use, so you get found without the extra work. Posting more here is always optional, never something you have to keep up to stay on the map. And this one is for artists only.
Who is behind it
I am Jared Marcus, the founder. I built Art Is The Horizon because I was tired of the arts feeling scattered, siloed by genre, and invisible to the very people nearby who could collaborate. A map across every discipline fixes that.
Your privacy comes first.
Pins show a general area, never an exact address. Everyone you see is a real artist with real links you can check for yourself.
Where we are headed
We are taking this platform to the App Store and Google Play. Art Is The Horizon starts in New Jersey and grows across the country from there. If you want to be on the map before it fills up, now is the time.
