The Creative Artist Database
The Creative Artist Database
GIGNITION is a gig-matching platform designed to bring teams together for creative projects by designing an all-inclusive database where creators can find anything they need to create art: actors, dancers, photographers, producers, designers, directors, stage managers - absolutely anything you need. All in one place. And all at NO COST.
Find the people who need what you have:
- Set up a profile > appear in creative project matches.
- Post a creative project > match with your team.

The Inclusive Job-Matching Revolution
GIGNITION is revolutionizing the casting and job-matching process for bringing together creative teams by providing a unique search function for identifying diverse and inclusive individuals with skills needed for specific creative projects. Casting directors, producers, project managers can use the job-posting feature to seek specific skills while individual creative artists can get matched with those projects through the unique grid-matching database which is:
- Accessible to all.
- Ensure job-searches include candidates from all communities.

Artistic Subscription as a revenue stream
Each user on the GIGNITION platform can easily activate a built-in Artist Subscription platform which allows creative artists to feature their work and earn additional money from their followers without requiring millions of followers or relying on a viral video, but by posting and creating specialized content which highlights their individual creative work.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Find the people who need what you have.
The CREATIVE ARTIST DATABASE is a complete listing of all creative artists and creative organizations. There’s absolutely no cost to create your listing and be found in searches.
EVERY CREATIVE ARTIST (both performers and non-performing) should be listed in the database in order to appear in job-matching searches for creative projects that match your skills.
EVERY SERVICE PROVIDER for creative projects should have a listing in order for creative artists to find the support and services they need.
EVERY ARTS ORGANIZATION should be represented in the database in order to find the most qualified candidates from all communities and to ensure their diversity and inclusion mission is made clear to the public.
FANS/ART SUPPORTERS should join in order to subscribe and support their favorite artists, giving them exclusive access to the artist and participate in supporting them in their artistic endeavors.
