To create a global platform that empowers artists and organizations by providing tools, opportunities, and connections to grow and thrive.

by Hema Kala in Leicester, United Kingdom

Tap Your Talents was founded by me, Hema Kala and launched in India in March 2021 with a mission to give aspiring artists a virtual platform to showcase their talent in 7 different talent categories.

In 2024, following the implementation of the MVP of my concept and gathering feedback from members as well as market research, I implemented additional features and welcomed art organisations to be a part of the platform, enabling me to create a complete ecosystem for the benefits of the artistic community.

Alongside a website, I also launched brand new IOS and Android Apps. 

My motive behind starting this project was to build dreams, encourage and build confidence as well guide aspiring artists to showcase their hidden talent to the masses. Not only that, I wanted to support talented artists who have been hit badly by the economic crisis after covid-19, by the fats emergence of generative AI tools or are just simply trying to establish themselves. I believe that recognising and pursuing talents sometimes doesn’t happen at the right time however there is no wrong time to start. And I want Tap Your Talents to be a starting point for people who have the talent but don’t know where to start.

My vision is simple yet ambitious, to create a LinkedIn for the artistic community! To create a vibrant artistic ecosystem where both artists and art organisations can thrive.
