Businesses keeping art alive.


Disregarding social stigma as an aspiring artist can be difficult sometimes. Challenging the “starving artist” cliché comes with its own set of obstacles. Obstacles, such as family and friends, that will try to convince you out of your passions. Thanks to the millennials, startups now have become easier and well established.

Creative businesses can thrive, and thanks to these, art is revived into our daily lives. These seven art influenced businesses are adding a unique twist to the art industry, encouraging and influencing art enthusiasts to never give up their passions.

Bucketfeet

They say traveling always inspires the best out of you. Raaja Nemani and Aaron Firestein met traveling through Argentina. One day, Firestein drew a design on a pair of plain canvas sneakers for Nemani, who soon discovered the magic behind these imaginative shoes. This inspired the two to start Bucketfeet, a company that sells canvas sneakers in a variety of styles that feature original art by more than 40,000 creators originating from 120 countries around the world. While these artists offer every medium, ranging from graphic design to graffiti to painting, anyone can submit their artwork for consideration by the Bucketfeet committee.
