Extending a contemporary art marketplace with AI-assisted classification.

Journeyhorizon developed marketplace functionality for Sugarlift and introduced AI-assisted artwork classification alongside augmented-reality, search and marketplace growth improvements.

Platform and marketplace model

Sugarlift is a contemporary art gallery based in New York, providing art consulting services and representing a global community of contemporary artists. The gallery features exhibitions, curated projects, and custom art solutions for various clients.

Sugarlift aims to connect collectors with today's best and brightest artists, offering a curated selection of artworks for various spaces, including residential, commercial, and public projects.

• Artists serve as sellers by listing their artworks, which include detailed descriptions, high-quality images, and information about the artist’s background and inspiration.
• Collectors and clients, acting as buyers, can browse these listings to discover pieces that resonate with their aesthetic and needs.

Both parties can communicate effectively and complete transactions with ease on the platform.

We have worked with the Sugarlift team from the very beginning and have continue to build and grow a successful working relationship. Sugarlift is a true example of product as journey rather than destination.
