COLLEKTON is the map of the art world around you. Open the app and see every current exhibition, gallery, art space, and fair near where you stand โ€” or in any city in the world. No feeds, no noise: a map, the art, and the way there. EXPLORE The map shows what's on right now, wherever you are. Dense art neighborhoods resolve into individual venues as you move closer โ€” from a city overview down to a single doorway. Search any city and land in the middle of its art scene. DISCOVER Step inside a show before you visit. COLLEKTON renders exhibitions as walls โ€” every work hung at true physical scale, with a human figure for reference. Browse the works, read the exhibition text, then decide if it's worth the walk. TAKE ME THERE One tap and COLLEKTON walks you to the door: street-level routes through the city, a live compass pointing at the show, and a hand-off to your maps app for longer distances. When you arrive, the exhibition opens by itself. COLLEKT Been there? Say so. Rate shows with a simple thumbs up or down and write a short review โ€” but only if you've actually stood in the room. Ratings on COLLEKTON come from people who went, not people who scrolled. FAIRS During art fairs, the map understands containment: a fair appears as one place holding many exhibitors, and you can filter a city between fair participants and independent spaces. YOUR ACCOUNT A free Collekton account unlocks worldwide city search and keeps your visited shows, ratings, and reviews with you. Local discovery around you works without one. COLLEKTON is built by COLLEKTON GmbH in Cologne, with galleries, spaces, and fairs across Europe and beyond. The art is out there โ€” go see it.

Festirae

Features
Read full description

Festirae puts the whole festival in your pocket. From discovering what's on to walking straight to it, every interaction is designed to keep you exploring rather than staring at your phone. YOUR FESTIVAL COMPANION Step near the festival and your closest bookmarked artwork or talk appears instantly on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. No unlocking, no searching โ€” just a glance to know what's next. WALK RIGHT THERE Tap any pin for in-app turn-by-turn walking guidance without jumping to another app. Festirae tracks your position, calls out each turn, and quietly re-routes you if you wander off. Step onto the path and guidance starts on its own. EXPLORE THE LIVE MAP Every exhibition, installation, and event is pinned on an interactive map that updates as you move. Filter by discipline โ€” painting, photography, theatre, and more โ€” and clusters open as you zoom in so the map never feels cluttered. SAVE WHAT YOU LOVE Bookmark anything with a single tap. Long-press a pin to save it, get directions, or add a talk straight to your calendar โ€” all without leaving the map. SHARE THE EXPERIENCE Found something unmissable? Send any artwork or event to a friend in one tap. They open it directly in Festirae. ALWAYS UP TO DATE The map and programme refresh automatically every time you switch tab or every ten minutes, so last-minute additions are never missed. Festirae is free and requires no account.
