Roy’s Art Fair – A complete waste of time and moneyPoor venue as the Bargehouse is really not suitable for an event of this nature. Furthermore the quality of the works was at the very least questionable, making me think I probably should not have put mine next to them. Sales were poor and I have not made my money back....read entire comment and original post

Galeria Azur MadridThank a lots! Is that trasparent? See below: Hello … can you send me more information if you want, but I assume it is an invitation for artists willing to pay to exhibit. Is that correct? Best regards Hi .. Thank you for your response. I should inform you that this is a paid opportunity. If you change your mind or would like more details, feel free to reach out.

Arcade Project, M. Charlene StevensI'm amazed Charlene has continued getting away with her scams for as long as she has. It's basically impossible to confront her. But make no mistake, she rips off everyone no matter their background. She will enter into a business relationship with someone as a consultant, client, or curator, and then she will obliterate all professional and personal boundaries. She's not emotionally stable, and that plays a big role in her decision making....read entire comment and original post

Holy Art Gallery?I'm really sad that this gallery is still functioning and scamming artists! And also abroad! I only took part in their online exhibition, it was an awful thing. (could have been their first one?) they promised social media marketing, but there was nothing. My titles of paintings were also misspelled. I actually went there one day to see paintings of one artist that I follow on Instagram. It was supposed to be the last day, but...read entire comment and original post

Van der Plas GalleryI worked here because of some unfortunate circumstances that I can't describe for privacy's sake. DO NOT work with this man. His team consists of him, an underpaid gallery assistant who comes in like twice a week, and like 30 unpaid interns. The man himself is a total creep and also does not know how to run an art business at all. He has no eye for curation, does not know how to run a...read entire comment and original post

ITSLIQUID GROUPA classic vanity gallery scam for foreign artists. The gallerist trusts that the artists will not visit the gallery again after the opening. I don't think anyone else goes to these galleries either, ever. When visiting Rome, would you go to these vanity galleries to see the work of other artists if your own art wasn't on display? Be honest!...read entire comment and original post

Galería Azur Madrid: vanity gallerythanks for the information. There was something that didn't seem right to me. I then asked them straight up. What is in it for you. you are not doing this out of the goodness of your heart.

Context art gallery, Venice. AKA Marco PatrizioThe real art world doesn't work like that. There are of course some rare exceptions, but usually the artist does not pay rent for the gallery space or any expenses, but the gallery takes 50% of the sales. Please educate yourself or you will end up just losing money....read entire comment and original post

ITSLIQUID GROUPI participated in the Rome Art Fair 2023, and I must say it was a disappointing experience. Despite the high participation fee of over 600 EUR, there was no marketing effort in the city of Rome, just free Instagram stories. They also suggested using their service to deliver my paintings, but it turned out to be a standard uninsured DHL courier with a 20-30% markup on the official price. The opening at Medina Art Gallery went...read entire comment and original post

Context art gallery, Venice. AKA Marco Patrizio
I have recently been scammed by Marco Patrizio, running context art gallery in Venice, Italy. He asked for money (to cover exhibition costs and framing) in return for representing me. I sent two large pieces of art which i sell for around £1000 each. Since sending the funds and works I’ve had no further dealings with him – he’s clearly blocked me, not responding to emails, or message replies. It’s only now i understand he is a regular scammer – this time contacting me through instagram via Context Art Gallery. I accept i lost my money (more fool me) but…

I was contacted by the director via my website to participate in a themed group show. The curatorial statement aligned with my work so I was excited to get more information, but noticed in the fine print that they did ask for a financial contribution from the artist. The show was also in the very near future, which seemed strange. After I expressed interest, I was told that I would need to give the gallery almost $1,000 to participate, as well as a 60/40 split (artist/gallery). I shared my discomfort with this, at which point the messages became more desperate…

I was in talks with this gallery about exhibiting with them at Art on Paper in NY. They presented an offer of charging me $1400 + shipping for 1 lineal meter of space in their booth. I had never worked with them before so I researched by talking with previous artists who has been in that fair with them. I was told by 2 artists that this gallery didn’t had a real gallery space outside of art fairs; that they went to these fairs by charging the artists, that they had gotten their pieces broken, bad presented and they had…

I already posted about another nft scam, but this is a similar scam. There are several fake accounts on Instagram that approach artists and ask them to sell their art as nfts. They insist using fake nft sites like mintbot.art. It’s a scam to make artists pay for gas fees. Because they are not real nft sites, you can’t really sell your art there. So you will lose your money. This is just one of many scam sites, so be aware. If you have to register to the site to see any art or buyers, then it’s most likely a…

As a non-profit Art Gallery, they should update their exhibition program. By no means do they show any kind of emerging artist. Unless, you count these Instagram accounts followed as emerging. @_only_bianka_ @legginsdreams365 @reelports @gabbyepstein @yaelsris

M.A.D.S. brags about being a multimedia gallery as if that’s somehow a good thing. Art is therefore presented in digital form on the internet, social media and in a physical venue. What the hell is the benefit of that for the artist? The idea of this vanity gallery is so stupid that I couldn’t even bring myself to ask for sales figures. I don’t want to waste my time, because I know couple of artists who have collaborated with them and didn’t gain anything except embarrassment. If there is something good to say, there are no shipping costs, but on…

This is a very poor excuse for a residency. The physical plant: sewage drains in the kitchen, under dining table. Caps move off the drains routinely. Stench. No hot water. (5 hour presentation on arrival. Rules. Rules. Rules. Most of them-nonsense Map lesson. Host never checked in with any of us for the duration (4 weeks). He avoided the residents at all cost.) No common meeting place. Library locked-inaccessible. No place to sit outside together in camaraderie. Caged birds. Cat piss smell on walkways. I’ve been invited to many residencies…average to lovely. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.…
