Excellance art Gallery in Mirabella, SpainOFFICIAL STATEMENT – EXCELLENCE ART GALLERY From Excellence Art Gallery, we wish to publicly respond to a series of false, unfounded, and clearly defamatory statements circulated by profiles operating under the name “ANONIMUS.” First of all, we consider it necessary to provide context regarding the origin of these publications. These are anonymous profiles that, for months, have been acting repeatedly across different platforms, using multiple identities. This behavior—based on the systematic dissemination of unsubstantiated accusations—lacks credibility and...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

LemoArt GalleryMy experience with Ludvig Rage ist 100% positive. I have been collaborating with them, they promoted my work and thanks to them I have met many gallery owners and collectors and sold many of my works.

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

LemoArt GalleryI didn’t want to write this review but I feel the obligation to warn the artistic community about the problematic business practices of Ludvig Rage Club and its leadership. I will not go much into the details, but I want to clearly state that my experience matches the pattern of business practices described in the below negative reviews regarding misleading claims and unprofessional conduct. I paid for a publication/event service with a clear deadline, which they...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

Galeria Azur MadridYou don’t need to be famous to sell your art, you just need the right opportunities. And to put it infront of art lovers. Many artists get scammed and warning others of possible scams is very helpful. If you don’t want to take that warning in consideration thats up to you. But don’t berate someone for trying to help other artists not loose hard earned money. That’s just my take as a 25 year...read entire comment and original post

Context art gallery, Venice. AKA Marco PatrizioAbout Fulle Galeria - unfortunately, it seems to be a well calculated scam. They contacted me from their official page asking to participate in "the water and the wind remember our name' exhibition in Patagonia. Once I paid the fee they disappeared completely and never returned any of my emails, messages, comments, even deleted my comment on one of their posts asking for an answer. Recently they made a post on IG recommending everyone to...read entire comment and original post

Lichtundfire in NYCLichtundfire is a pay to display gallery. I met Priska C. Juschka at her gallery at around the time of Covid and she proceeded to email me. $900 up front plus a cut from sales and unfortunately no guarantee of major marketing/ visits from critics etc. I’m not a fan of this kind of business construct and will never participate in a business dealing as such. Prompted by my curiosity...read entire comment and original post

Lichtundfire in NYCLichtundfire is a pay to display gallery. Your paying for your work to display and for them to operate. Long ago Priska Juschka’s partner was charged with fraud and an artist took him to court (artist won the case). At the time they operated under a different name and their partnership dismantled as well as the gallery. Ms. Juschka is now operating solo with Lichtundfite....read entire comment and original post

Holy Art Gallery?They were collecting a group of artists together to advertise on the NYC subway, which I felt was the type of coverage I would pay for, and the price felt cheap for something big like that. Arranging for subway ads is a pain in the butt, and being bundled with other artists to make it affordable was actually something I had on my “what-if?” list. I work in advertising and I’ve made ads for nonprofit...read entire comment and original post

I just want my paintings back to me. Do not collaborate with this man. He makes fake...read entire comment and original post

The Emerging Artist Platform Hansford & Sons
I too have had problems with them. They are very difficult to get hold of. I sent an email via their website and have never received a reply (only an automated acknowledgement of receipt of my email). The telephone number on their website does not work and google brings up the number as a nuisance caller. The only way I got my page created was by pestering the 2 scouts who originally contacted me through Instagram, (even one of those ignored my request until I made a bigger fuss!) I did consider that maybe they are short staffed because of…

This gallery contacted me through Instagram. I don’t want to sound rude, but what first caught my eye was the low quality of the artwork they were displaying. That can be disputed of course. It will cost the artist 1000€ to get 2 pieces on display in their physical group exhibition + 1 piece is there in the back room just in case (for what exactly??). The group exhibition lasts about a month. Also you get up to 10 pictures of your artworks for their online exhibition (including the 3 you sent them to the physical exhibition). They put them…

I’ve been reading bad reviews about this gallery, all of their locations. I was curated recently into an upcoming show. I live an hour away and was about to deliver my work for the take-in when I found all the bad reviews.I am supposed to drop off my artwork for a supposed “reception“ but now I’m afraid to do so for fear of wasting my time and maybe not getting my art work back. Did anybody have any good experiences with an actual opening and getting their work back in good condition? Should I just avoid the take-in and reception…

Artist Scams Alert Beware of the scam. I just want to To denounce the scam of Floriano, the owner of flyer art gallery, I tried to do it on the flyer art group, but unfortunately he blocked me, so I decided to write to my friends to encourage them to warn artists of this crook.. Beware of the scam, in 2020 that owner of flyer art gallery took my participation fees for the New York exhibition. Since then he has been bluffing me, this scammer he even tried to terrify me with his threats and refusing to return my money.…

This horrible couple Lucian Hector and Jazz Davies are frauds. I knew they were dodgy at first especially Lucian. I don’t know how I could even trust them. They looked professional and all because they had a big black car and carried your paintings to the exhibition studio. But one day they did the worst thing imaginable. The ripped my paintings to pieces and blamed it on me for getting cheap canvas when we were carrying them in our hands. They then made me sign a contract which I’m glad I refused because many people say that they are charging…

don’t get fooled by their apparently professional approach. This is not a professional gallery. They have a very large space and they just make a living out of the various “artists” they show at once. They tell you it’s a solo show but it’s actually a massive group show. No curato, no press release. Even though they only ask for a refund for the show opening’s drinks (and no drinks have been allowed for two years now, yet they still keep asking) just multiply that amount by eight artists exhibiting at once and then by two because shows are on…
