Hosts

An artist and an Airbnb Superhost walk into a bar... 🥁

All kidding aside, that’s not far off from how Art Box was born. A local Mariposa artist, Santiago Palacio, and a local vacation rental host and technologist, Avand Amiri, got to talking about ways to promote local artists. ”Guests always comment on the little touches in my listings like the rhyming labels or the local cider,” Avand noted. Offering art work seemed like a no-brainer.

An Art Box is a curated collection of local art that vacation rental hosts can offer to their guests to browse and shop. Like a collection of vinyl records, guests can admire art, scan a QR code to buy, and take home the art they love.

Benefits

Having an Art Box in your listing is a great way to:

  • Support local artists
  • Differentiate your property
  • Improve your reviews
  • Stand out as a host

There’s no cost or effort on your part. We’ll deliver the Art Box to your property and replace it when inventory gets low. We’ll also deal with theft and returns.

The Art Box is designed to blend in to any style property. As a humble crate, it won’t compete for attention with your decor. It’s designed to reward curiousity and as such there’s minimal marketing material. Guests browse the art, like they would a crate of vinyl records, self-checkout using a QR code on the back of each piece, and take home the art they buy.
