Artvoices Magazine

Has anyone published in Artvoices Magazine? Or been involved with any of Terrence Sanders efforts? Platform Contemporary Art Show etc. The organization seems to have good intentions, but there is a sliding scale of cost with most of his projects. Typically a red flag, but he seems to be putting good effort twds some alternative channels for artist. And the shows seem to have some curatorial strategy behind them. Just not sure of his figures / claims – ie 15k-20k people showing up at Platform Contemporary Art Show. Thought I would post and see if anyone has shown with this…

Tvak : Residential Art Studios

July 13, 2017

Can you set up a residency category? Lots of problems there is you are just beginning. I traveled to India last year to this place: http://tvakstudios.blogspot.com/ Owner did not connect me with sculptor after 10 days. I went with a local friend and set it up with said sculptor in under an hour. When I got back to Tvak, owner kicked me out and kept $700 USD. She is notorious for doing the same to local artists. She also tried to derail my connection with the sculptor. Mean person. In April 2017, a poet came from UK and she said she’d get…

1650 Gallery in L.A.

By: anonymous

May 25, 2017

One user sent this in – This is a gallery that specializes in photography. They put out a “call” for a subject or keyword and make a selection of “winners” to be exhibited. They offer print services if you send your files. I had 3 pieces selected for one of their exhibits. The “opening” was on a Saturday. I live in NY but my son lives in L.A. and wanted to see the exhibit. That began to unravel the despicable sham this place is. Going online to fine a phone number – no listing. We could not get days or…

A user sent in the following comment; Please list Heaven Art Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ. They are a new brick and mortar gallery that just opened. They display the submitted art on large monitors in their gallery to customers.They started a contest and exhibition, but have no standards for judging – they welcome ALL art submissions so they can display it and sell prints. It is a vanity art gallery that charges the artist $10/month per image to be displayed. I had an email exchange with one of the owners to get more information, since there is little information on…

Working Artist Grant

By: anonymous

April 17, 2017

A reader sent in this – Please look into Working Artist Grant. Charges $25 as a submission fee which goes directly to the individual who runs it not to a nonprofit organization. Does not have a legitimate jury selecting artwork, but just collects funding from applicants so as to make a profit. Winner receives $500 but not really because they must then donate an artwork to the organization. Any comments, research?

Galerie Michael Janssen

March 29, 2017

Galerie Michael Janssen refused to return my artwork and eventually destroyed it never paying me a cent. My experience with Gallerie Michael Janssen (Michael, Dane, and Nina) started off great. They were very supportive, and I produced hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sculptures for them. They took all my work to Germany with the agreement that what they did not sell they would return to me. I never saw any money. After years of trying to work something out with them and being ignored and disrespected. I asked them for a small portion of what they owed me.…

Art Platform NYC

Art Platform NYC http://www.artplatformnyc.com is a very good international art scam. It formerly went by Art Approach NYC and is now opening a branch in Washington DC, http://www.artplatformdc.com They have a rather professional website, with lots of talented artists and art shows around the world. They contact you by email to say they have been following your work and would like to represent you. They offer various packages, differing in price range and the amount of work they will do to represent you. They offer exhibitions, presence on their website and copies of, high-resolution, coffee-table size art books with your…

I got this email a few days ago. I called them to find out more. Yesterday I got a phone call from a women named Alice somewhere in Illinois (HQ are in SF). It sounded all too good…! So I did some more digging and found this article: https://theartistsjd.com/vida-tos/ Not only is the article informative but it is worth reading the the comments left by artists.

from Artnews – Art and Law Art Dealer Ordered to Pay $500 a Day to Artist The artist claims the gallery chopped off 10 inches from his painting. Eileen Kinsella, December 28, 2016 UPDATE: The attorney for the plaintiff informed artnet News that Grunert paid the judgment in full following the court order. A judge ordered Manhattan dealer Tanja Grunert and her eponymous gallery to pay an artist the sum of $500 a day after failing to comply with an order handed down in earlier this year. The judge in the case, Lewis A. Kaplan, ruled in an order filed on…

Lichtundfire in NYC

Where is the proof of all this? How do I know you are telling the truth? Do you even know iw who the director of Lichtundfire is? I don't think you do....

PAKS Gallery and MAMAG Museum invite to exhibit at Cannes Film Festival, Art Basel Week and Carrousel du Louvre

My husband is an artist. I work with him taking care of communication, finding galleries, art fairs, biennales etc. He was also contacted by Heinz Playner. It's a vanity Gallery and nothing more. They do not actually have a stand at the Art Basel Fair, nor at the Cannes Film festival, nor at the Carousel du Louvre. They expose in hôtel conférence rooms nearby, while these events are happening ....

Art box project

I have participated in various Artbox exhibitions (Artbox project Miami, Art Week Miami too) and have had very good experiences. Especially the exhibitions about Artboxy have brought me some sales. I can recommend the company....

Some galleries charge fees, they can’t know if your work will sell, but they’re providing you with an opportunity to show your work....

The Other Art Fair, London UK

It's actually not. Saatchi Art was bought by Leaf Group, the same group of companies that now owns The Other Art Fair. Part of the deal when buying Saatchi art was NOT to use the name Saatci and they have been to court for this. They are clearly taking advantage of people making them think that Saatchi is part of The Other Art fair when they are not. What a horrible way to conduct business!...

I'm happy I have discovered this thread as I'm not the only participating artist in London, feeling this way. It's particularly scary making this comment as they ask you not to make any public comments about them. I feel very uncomfortable and don't work to work with a company that does that. It was particularly odd to see that a participating artists was also giving us advice on a call orgnaised by The Other Art Fair, when knowing...

As one of the participants of their latest show in London in March 2024, I also need to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the management of this fair. No sales and overall bad vibes and a salesy approach to things trying to upsell expensive additional services on top of a participation fee that is already extremely expensive. Upon researching further, I also discovered that they are not supposed to use the Saatchi name and they...

GAA

Very bad experience. I took part in an event in Vienna for some years ago. Unprofessional, no curated art. I felt like been on cheep market place. But the took their money....

My experience in London with them weas extremely disappointing. They were trying to upsell me everything with huge mark ups. I had to pay hundreds in order to have a chair to sit on during the event. Having talked to fellow participating artists, they seemed to struggle to land any sales. Footfall was not amazing either, considerably different vibes from when I visited 7 years ago as a guest. This brand is dying and I would steer clear....

If you’re approached by “Gallerist” Marco Antonio Patrizio – Run!

Holy Art Gallery?

I agree, I experienced the same...

I was also an Artist and I can 100% understand all the rage against the holy Art Gallery. This organisation is a moneymaking and corrupt organisation. The exhibitions are totally scam, its absolutely Trash what they offer and I cant find the words to put my Bad experience in a suiting frame. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!! THEY ALSO BLOCKED ME AND DELETED EVERYTHING BECAUSE I TRIED TO WARN OTHER PEOPLE...

My namemis Armin Armirian from Iran. I never had to pay any fee to participate. NYC Artwalk never requested any moneu from me. Susana mde this possible. She’s a great person. You should delete this defamatory post. It is posting false information about a good person and a cool company....

I want to thank Susana for the great opportunity of having displayed our works at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, the New York Times Square, Harlem, Queens, Upper West Side, Brooklyn, and at the Tribeca Show 2023. I want to reiterate that no monetary fees were ever asked from any of us Kind regards Ian." — Ian Banja @ianbanja...

I’m from Kenya. This posr makes reference to me and my friends. I’m grateful to NYC Artwalk and to Susana. When Susana found me she brought my work to be exhibited on posters in Brooklyn, Queens, the Upper West Side, Times Square, and Harlem at no cost to me. She also had NYC Artwalk include my work at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair and Tribeca Art Show 2023 at no cost to me....

I took part of the Exhibitor Posters in Brooklyn, Queens, Upper West Side, Times Square, Harlem, and others, the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, Tribeca Art Show 2023, as well as being listed on Artsy. This was all done possible by Susana Aldanondo and the NYC artwalk without any cost/payment from me. Additionally, some of my paintings were also purchased by Susana. Thanks for the ongoing support. — Petrix @petrixarts...

Parallax Art fair / PAF

I exhibited with parallax in Chelsea town hall back in 2015 it was the worst show I have ever been involved with there were so few visitors at the make the whole experience laughable it put me off shows in London for year toll I realised it was a total scam I’m appalled by this organisation and hope nobody else falls for what they say...

No, because The Holy Art Gallery hardly sells any art, it's not their main business. Their main business is to rent gallery space. If your experience with them was so positive, why didn't you sell any art?...

ITSLIQUID GROUP

Is this the same ITSLIQUID that is founded in 2001 by Luca Curci? How much is the fee for artists nowadays?...

World of Art (WOA) Contemporay Art Magazine

It's not Guggenheim'S issue, but a Guggenheim themed magazine from World of Art (WOA) Contemporary Art magazine, i.e., pay to play art magazine for sad artists. It has nothing to do with the actual Guggenheim museum, they are not involved and have not cooperated with WOA. I hope the Guggenheim takes you to court for misleading!...

Galeria Azur Madrid

First of all tell us your name and where we can find social media channel so we can verify that you don't work for Galeria Azur but are an artist. Secondly please educate yourself on what vanity galleries actually are and why they never benefit artists in any way before you criticize us for pointing out the grievances. You participated twice but didn't sell anything. So your money was wasted, and now even more scammers...

I participated twice in Galeria Azur, in a group exhibition and in the Red Dot art fair. I have paid to exhibit and I have loved it. No gallery is representing me at the moment, and this is helping me to showcase my work, be seen by a wider audience, and I am hopeful to sell a piece soon. I understand that this never depends 100% on the gallery, and with the attention they are...

Hello , i am a private investigator, and i am investigating some cases involving the Marco Antonio Patrizio Gallerist and the context art gallery scam . Anyone who has fallen victim to this scam should forward me your email conversation and emails about this scam to use for building a very strong case against him? He has scammed 3 of my clients, including my younger brother, who is an artist. Please forward me all the...
