Art Sphere is an e-commerce platform built with Ruby on Rails that allows a gallery owner to showcase and sell the artwork of different artists. Instead of artists listing their work directly, the gallery owner manages the collection and displays artwork in his gallery upon request from participating artists. The platform enables art enthusiasts to browse and purchase artistic pieces through a seamless and secure shopping experience powered by Stripe.
