The Client

Art should be accessible.

Vango Art is an experiential online gallery and marketplace that connects buyers directly to independent artists — bringing carefully curated collections to anyone with a phone, because art should be accessible and affordable.

The Challenge

Make discovering art easier than ever before.

Vango wanted an app that makes discovering art effortless — for the art novice and the art expert alike.

No other platform seemed to meet users' needs, and Vango believed buying and selling art should be simple. So they partnered with Silicon Prime to build the solution themselves.

The gap
