How’s My Dealing? 2.0
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
read moreThere are several fake accounts on Instagram that approach artists and ask them to sell their art as nfts. They insist using fake nft site platinumbullnfts.com. It’s a scam to make artists pay for gas fees. Because it’s not a real nft site, you can’t really sell your art there. So you will lose your money. This is probably 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 scam. There should be a section for social media scams here, because they…
read moreM.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…
read moreThis 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.…

Charlene positions herself as a constant victim but is entirely unprofessional, nasty and selfish. She owes money to dozens of people including myself, a BIPOC and will lash out if called out on. Charlene cannot secure a job because of her troublesome demeanor and entitlement. Do not work for or with Charlene.
read moreSadly I participated as an artist during last year’s Roys Art Fair in London. Overall I had a very disappointing experience with no sales, no one around me seemed to have sold also. Traffic was not great, the venue was at the most, extremely average. The management and owner is an artist who used the funds to pay for his participation at The Other Art fair and promote his art so clearly there is a conflict of interest and I would advise fellow artists to avoid them.
read moreLast Fall I submitted and got one piece juried into an exhibition at what I thought was a prestigious exhibition space at a perceived ‘arts destination,’ The Sedona Arts Center in Sedona, Arizona. I paid a thirty dollar entry free via Call For Entry. Since Sedona is only an hour away from my studio delivering the artwork to the venue wasn’t expensive or too time consuming. At drop-off the one person I met was cordial and professional. Later I returned to the gallery for the opening reception. It was a typical group show; not bad but a little uneven with…
read morePlease look into The Holy Art Gallery They have just had an exhibition in London Oxo Bargehouse were the conditions we’re unbelievable. They take down any negative commits from artists. They do so many open calls a year. All contracts non refundable even though Artist at this exhibition, some had no gallery lighting, leaking roof, rubbish laying around, mice, no drinks nibbles at launch party, no proper sales sheets, no proof of promotion, poor footfall, visitors mostly family and friends, no proper signage outside or within the gallery. They took no responsibility for the conditions within the exhibition and were…
read moreI was looking for exhibition opportunities in Nordic countries and found out a gallery in Helsinki, Galleria Huuto, apparently is “an independent artist run collective” managing three spaces and receiving funding from the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, however it charges fees from 500€ up to 1500€ for a three week exhibition period. Does any finnish artist out there that know more about Galleria Huuto? http://www.galleriahuuto.net/?page_id=53&lang=en
read moreThe assistant of the curator Loredana Trestin of Divulgarti group contacted me through Instagram and told me that they were impressed by my art and they want to invite me to an upcoming exhibition. I did my research: It’s a group exhibition in a handbag store in Milan. Yes you read it correctly: a handbag store. It’s called Galleria Cael. To participate it costs: – 1°work 350,00 € (for a size up to meter) – 2°works 600,00 € – 1°work € 400.00 (if more than one metre per one metre) – 2°works 700,00 € I’m not interested in vanity galleries…
