Art app and social platform gowithYamo reveals brand new look and review function.
gowithYamo is an arts app and social platform that connects art buffs and a culturally savvy audience with the latest exhibitions around them. Launched in 2017 and currently available for users in the UK and Ireland, gowithYamo offers users access to a dynamic online community whilst making it easier than ever to discover the best new exhibitions and rate them. With 1 in 5 people in the UK having never visited a gallery, the app hopes to change that by fostering more accessible and inclusive art discussions.
Free to use, gowithYamo is driven by the belief that art is for everyone. The app has now launched a new first-of-its-kind function that puts users in the front seat, allowing them to log visits and review exhibitions to flex their inner art critic. The app also offers an easy-to-navigate interactive map, highlighting every current exhibition in the user's vicinity.
Evolving from a dedicated listing app, gowithYamo’s user-directed review function recently launched following positive early-access testing. Users can now leave and read other visitors' exhibition reviews - from classy mini-essays to critical one-liners and hot takes - and leave likes on their favourites. These will be linked to the user’s new personalised profile. As well as their profile pic and bio, the page will also display users' activity, including which exhibitions they’ve visited, their reviews and “Yamo points” (the points users receive for visiting exhibitions). Creating a more social experience for art lovers, users can also search and follow their friends and art-scene stalwarts for their up-to-the-minute exhibition recommendations.
The relaunch includes a new Challenges feature, coming in various forms including art trails, guides from notable art scene dwellers, and themed exhibition suggestions (such as “Visit 5 photography exhibitions”).
Founder and CEO Hubert Velge says: “At gowithYamo, we’re all about making art more accessible to everyone, removing the intimidation that often surrounds it. We’re thrilled to introduce our revamped platform, complete with an easier-to-use curated art guide and a first-of-its-kind Exhibitions Review function for our art-obsessed community. Now, truly anyone can be an art critic.”
