Art Amino was where artists traded work, took commissions, and ran critique threads. Here's where it went and the best free app to rebuild an art community in 2026.

Short answer

Art Amino disappeared with the rest of Amino in 2025. Aminoka is the closest replacement: image-first posts with gallery, OC libraries to showcase original work, polls for critique pairing, leader-run communities.

Open Aminoka and find an art community: Open Aminoka.
