Indibano Art Residency supports contemporary African artists in Dallas through studio space, mentorship, and exhibitions. Before this project, the site was a single, slim one-page site. I built it into a full site: artist pages, a real application flow, and room to grow with future exhibitions.
Indibano Art Residency, founded by Bukekile Dube in 2023, gives contemporary African artists studio space, mentorship, and exhibition opportunities in Dallas. Before this project, the entire site was a single, slim page covering the basics: what the program does and when the next show was happening. There was no way to apply online, no gallery of artist work, and no individual space for each resident.
I built out a full site instead: a dedicated Residency page, an Artists section with its own page for each resident showing their work, and a real Apply flow so artists can submit directly instead of emailing in. The structure is also built to grow, adding exhibition photos and event promotion as future shows happen, instead of needing a rebuild every time.
Challenge
Turn a slim one-page site into a real home for the artists and residency program it represents.
The old site was a single page covering the basics: what the program does, and when the next show was happening. It didn't have anywhere for someone to actually see an artist's work, apply to the residency, or explore the program beyond that. For a program built around specific artists and a real application cycle, that's a lot of the actual value left off the site entirely.
Solution
Built a full multi-page site: individual artist pages, a real application flow, and a structure ready for future exhibitions.
I gave the residency its own pages, About, Residency, Artists, and Apply, instead of cramming everything onto one scroll. Each resident artist now has an individual page for their work, and the Apply page gives artists a direct way to submit instead of relying on email. I also built the structure so it's ready to carry exhibition photos and event promotion for future shows, so the site can keep growing with the program instead of needing a rebuild every cycle.
Result
Exhibitions now generate real revenue, and traffic to the site is up significantly since launch.
Since the new site launched, exhibitions have started generating real revenue, and overall site traffic has grown significantly. The two numbers below reflect that, and we're confirming the exact revenue figure with Indibano directly.
