Hey! I'm Kirill, maker of Callisto.
I've spent 10+ years in the art world - first as an artist, then curating shows in 25+ countries and running an art residency in Bali. And I've watched the same thing over and over: the difference between artists who get shows and artists who don't isn't talent. It's information. Grants, residencies, open calls live scattered across hundreds of sites, and the know-how of how to apply is kept behind closed doors.
My own hit rate as an artist was about one yes per 15–20 applications. That one yes changes everything. So the game is volume + precision and nobody had built the tool for it.
Callisto is that tool: 12,400+ opportunities matched to your practice, an AI advisor (Clio) that knows your CV and help with your career and drafts without turning you into someone else, and a tracker that turns rejection into a next step.
12,000 artists joined in our first three months. Some are already exhibiting because of calls they found here.
Three-year goal: become the Common App for artists. Would love your feedback. Ask me anything!
