Àṣà Art Marketplace is a curated digital gallery and e-commerce platform celebrating African art and Yoruba heritage. It provides a dignified space to discover and collect authentic works—from traditional Adire textiles and Benin Bronzes to contemporary pieces honoring the artists and stories behind the art. # Àṣà Art Marketplace Production-ready MVP for **Àṣà**, a curated African/Yoruba art marketplace. ## Stack - Next.js App Router for Vercel - Supabase Postgres + Storage - Server routes for admin upload, join applications, and AI coach - OpenAI Responses API for the AI art coach ## Local Setup 1. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` 2. Copy environment variables: ```bash copy .env.example .env.local ``` 3. In Supabase, run `supabase/schema.sql`, then create a public Storage bucket named `artworks`. 4. Fill `.env.local`: ```env NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL= NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY= SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY= SUPABASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=artworks ADMIN_UPLOAD_TOKEN= OPENAI_API_KEY= ``` 5. Start the app: ```bash npm run dev ``` Without Supabase variables, the public gallery uses demo data so the UI can still be reviewed. ## Vercel Add the same environment variables in Vercel Project Settings. The app is designed for Vercel serverless routes, so no separate FastAPI backend is required for the MVP.
