PAKS Gallery and MAMAG Museum invite to exhibit at Cannes Film Festival, Art Basel Week and Carrousel du LouvreI just posted about the PAKS Galleries in Austria. Not good! This man, Heinz informed me that I needed to be respectful after I told him that the participation fees were outrageous. I have a five email diatribe with him. So arrogant! Do not do anything with this rip off gallerist!...read entire comment and original post

Van der Plas GalleryNever displayed here cause i already learned not to work with vanity galleries but the owner is total jerk and I know from working with him. I started my first day as an unpaid intern with little experience art handling. He scolded me about not doing it the way he wanted with out providing any training and wouldn't teach me just told me to stand around and watch. Then when I was doing that he...read entire comment and original post

Lichtundfire in NYCI was contacted by Priska via instagram dm. She encouraged me to apply to an open call callling my work a perfect fit. I said that the delivery times would not work, so she offered to take my work at an alternative time which suited me. I also said I would not be able to make the opening - but she said that it was fine. I was on a tight time schedule and needed...read entire comment and original post

Context art gallery, Venice. AKA Marco PatrizioAt the beginning of 2026, I was scammed by Marcio Patrizio of AM Art Gallery in Padua. As a result, I lost eight artworks worth €10,000. I came across your post on Reddit, which is why I'm reaching out to you. I have filed an official complaint, and the case is currently being handled in Venice. To make a long story short, I am looking for artists who are willing to share their experiences with this fraudulent...read entire comment and original post

If you’re approached by “Gallerist” Marco Antonio Patrizio – Run!I was scammed by Marcio Patrizio of AM Art Gallery in Padua. As a result, I lost eight artworks worth €10,000. I have filed an official complaint, and the case is currently being handled in Venice. To make a long story short, I am looking for artists who are willing to share their experiences with this fraudulent gallery owner. So far, around 100 artists and more have been scammed, and I am determined to stop this man...read entire comment and original post

Art box projectHow did you benefit from participating in the exhibitions? Did you sell any work? What were the total costs? "Great way to add exhibits to the CV" How can participation be a merit when you paid for it and anyone who pays can participate? It makes no sense....read entire comment and original post

Europartfair 2021I agree. Stay away from all products of this organisation. Not really a scam, but definitely feeding off insecure artists paying to play. The artfairs are bad quality, only visited by friends and family of the artists on free admission tickets. The books are sold to the artists themselves. They name a lot of famous artists on their site as "supporting their ideas", as well as politicians as ambassadors who do not know about this.They...read entire comment and original post

Arcade Project, M. Charlene StevensRewritten for clarity: I can confirm the comments regarding Charlene. I will add that she sabotages deadlines. She makes herself the center of attention as everyone begs her to do her work and she deliberately turns it in at the last minute. The team then has to work all night to prepare her work printer or the website. She has cheated the artists she''s endorsed out of press in this way....read entire comment and original post

Studio Visit MagazineI was in an earlier publication, and was pleased with the look of it. I see people saying "pay to play", and I guess this is the case, kind of a vanity publication? I thought I would apply a second time, the juror seemed interesting. I got in, paid for a 2 page spread. I followed what was required for images and expected them to be printed as I sent them with the background showing...read entire comment and original post

Galería GaudíI’m an experienced artist. If a gallery considers you as an investment it is typical to have commission taken but THAT is ALL. The lack of transparency on their socials is concerning- sure, beautiful art photographed but where are the photographs of the fairs and their people representing you? Championing you? If you’re paying these massive fees on top of commission consider 1) what kind of placement this buys you in a fair. Where is...read entire comment and original post

The Other Art Fair, London UKHommm. Mixed thoughts here but tbh that’s the way it is at every art fair. They are all a huge risk due to time and costs. They are a lot of effort but unfortunately like a musician having to do free gigs to get noticed and on the map, art fairs are there for the same reason. Very very few go completely sell out and make a big. profit...read entire comment and original post

NYC ArtwalkWhoever made these initial claims is wrong! It was ArtsGowanus and Imagination Collective that was doing the ArtWalk on Atlantic Avenue and THEY placed the posters and THEY received $$$ from the Sponsors!! Those artists mentioned here did NOT have ro pay a fee. BUT - Imagination Collective AND ArtsGowanus - Johnny Thornton DID GET PAID!!! Get your record straight BEFORE you trash a good person.

A reader sent this in “Gallery 212, Wynwood, Miami Florida I walked into the gallery last spring to see if they were looking at new artists work. I was told they were but here was the deal. It costs $900 a month to hang work on the walls. But in November and December during Art Basel Basel, the price is $3,200 a month. The gallery is located on the corner of 24th Street and 2nd Avenue. The main drag through Wynwood to all the fairs is Miami Avenue. 2nd Avenue is two long block or four shorter blocks west of…

I have attempted repeatedly to get them back and but she does not respond to my attempts.

A reader sent this in, “Lisa Saltman @saltmanastassoicatesinc (on facebook) a supposed art advisor, sold my pictures to the hotel without my permission. She claims that she took a monograph (Surfland) of my work, ripped it apart, matted and framed it and sold it to this client, cheaply she added. This client just happens to be a Hyatt hotel. Whether this act may or may not be a copyright infringement, it is a gross insult and outrage to me and every artist who struggles to make a living from their practice. It is a misrepresentation of my art and how…
