Making art in Berkeley

Post a study, get real critique. Peachy puts your work in front of artists who asked to see it and brings you theirs.

Making art is solitary; getting better at it isn't. Ask Peachy for works in progress and critique requests and they surface for you, with everything else one tap away. Post your half-done figure study and it lands with people who literally asked to see that.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Show me works in progress and critique requests.”

“Tell me when artists in Berkeley set up a sketch meetup.”

“Oil and charcoal, the messier the palette the better.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
