At Meaning Vault, we’re building something different. Something human.
If you’ve come across our video project or our artist submission page, you might notice a word we use often:
Touchable.
It’s not a buzzword. It’s not a marketing hook. It’s a standard.
To be touchable as an artist means your work lets us feel you… not your image, not your brand, but you. Touchable doesn’t mean messy or unfiltered, and it’s not a plea for rawness. It means you make art that contains you, and not just your aesthetics.
We’re not interested in polish for polish’s sake. We’re not here for algorithms, fast edits, or social capital. We want to know what your art costs you, what it holds, and what it transmits… even if that transmission is subtle, restrained, or slow-burning.
If you build meaning into what you make… if you store memory, conflict, grief, joy, or structure in it… then you’re likely one of us. Touchable means you’ve left yourself inside your work in a way that can be felt.
This project is not for trend chasers or purely aesthetic portfolios. It’s not for artists making content to go viral. It’s for artists who care what happens to people after they encounter your work. Who think about the aftertaste. Who know that art isn’t just seen or heard. It’s absorbed.
So when we ask you to record an introduction about yourself and your work, we don’t want a pitch. We want a moment. A human one. We want to feel the person behind the process. Touchable is not a genre. It’s not a vibe. It’s not a style. It’s a willingness to not hide.
If you’re building meaning, we see you. If you’re storing memory, we want to help you share it. If you’re making something that could never be made by anyone else but you, that’s who we’re here for.
Welcome to Meaning Vault.
You don’t need to perform. You just need to be felt.
