The Problem

Financial support/revenue (sales of existing

pieces & commissions) come from fans.

Emerging artists work very hard to find

opportunities to publicly display art.

When an opportunity arrives to place a piece,

paint a mural or another type of installation, it’s
rarely simple and obvious how to find out the
story of the piece, story of the artist, and
become a fan.

Thus, sales generated from

publicly-displayed objects are significantly
diminished.

Affixing ETC #s to Public Objects

When you etch an object in ETChster, the

platform automatically gives you a unique
ETC number for that object and a page about
the object, connected to your profile.

app.etchster.com/etching/etc2132

That means a visitor can search that number

and instantly get the object’s story, which is a
part of its creator’s story.

Affixing ETC #s to Public Objects

For creators, adding the object’s ETC#

needs to become habitual.

By design, ETC#s fit nicely below signatures

or at the base of a work.

When someone with no knowledge of a piece

comes across it, it’s simple to immediately
search that number to finds its Etching, which
is connected to your profile where you have:
● Your story
● A contact form
● A statement about your willingness to do
commissions or other ways to engage
● Pieces for sale
