The World's First
Seed Accelerator for Artists

About Lean Artist

Lean Artist is the world’s first Seed Accelerator for Artists. We are funding early stage culture by investing 3000€ in 10 artists working intensively with Famous New Media Artist Jeremy Bailey and expert coaches to create 10 culturally disruptive startups. These startups will become part of an international Jeremy Bailey Lean Artist community. The accelerator kicks off in Hamburg August 26-28 culminating in a demo day, where artists will present their startups to an exclusive hand selected VIP audience.
