The AI platform for human culture
From architecture to deployment, we handle the full digital lifecycle so institutions can focus on their work.
We don't deliver and disappear. We build platforms designed to evolve alongside the artists and institutions we work with.
B&BY is a Montreal-based digital platform studio founded to serve one specific need: giving artists and cultural organisations the same quality of digital infrastructure that enterprise clients take for granted.
We believe great cultural work deserves great digital presence. Too often, artists and institutions settle for generic templates or platforms that don't reflect the depth of their practice. B&BY was created to close that gap — offering enterprise-grade strategy, design, and development specifically calibrated to the cultural sector.
Our clients range from solo artists who need a durable professional platform to biennale production offices running open calls, jury portals, and international press accreditation. We also work with residency networks, curatorial collectives, and artist-run centres operating across multiple countries and languages.
We manage full technical infrastructure: domain registration, DNS configuration, SSL certificates, hosting environments, and ongoing maintenance. Every platform we build is treated as a long-term asset — with a hosting and support horizon measured in years, not months.
Whether you're a solo artist needing a first professional platform, a biennale office managing open calls and jury workflows, or a residency network operating across countries — we'd like to hear from you.
We take on a small number of new clients each year to ensure the quality and continuity of our partnerships.
