can you provide evidence for that? you are the first person in many many posts on this gallery to have said anything about sales, so it would help if you could show us evidence of that please...

Hi Anonymous, who commented on January 2, 2025 at 11:10 am. We will believe you if you prove your claim. Start by stating your name. Otherwise, what you are telling is a fairy tale and not true....

THanks for these helpful responses. It's disappointing, but I'm glad to know....

Hey! Im an artist who recently sold £1900 worth of art with them and I will be going back!...

They prey on vain people who have no understanding of how the art world works. Renee Phillips writes on her blog: As one art critic said to me, “When I see a vanity gallery listed on an artist’s resume, I know they paid to have their ego stroked.” https://renee-phillips.com/vanity-galleries/...

They've contacted me too. What's worse is that artists such as Zelda_Cavanaugh on Instagram help promote this obvious pay-to-play scam. Preying on young artists....

The first red flag is that they contact you very close to the start of the exhibition, for example in October, when the opening is already in November. It might be worth contacting artists who have already shown their art in the gallery. Some of them praise the gallery effusively because they don't understand that they have been scammed, some tell the truth and some don't respond because they are ashamed. It is worth thinking...

Oh Marta, it's you who has to provide the names and other details of your success stories. Us skeptics don't have to prove anything. Scammers always project, as you constantly do. Put your money where your mouth is!...

To Anonymous who commented on October 28, 2024 at 9:09 pm: Hey Anonymous! And who are you? You’re slagging me off anonymously like a scared little coward. How much money do you make with your fake gallery, you wimpy grifter?...

Also he’s a terrible person in general! Showed with him years ago and he was awful to work with. I came and picked up my own work as I knew getting it back would be a nightmare....

Very weird! Be careful! I was accepted to the program, and was looking for some more details on the Jury and the company behind the Arctic Circle. I turns out, there is NONE. It's all Aaron O'Connor. I researched, and could not find phone number at first, nor business license, really not anything. Somehow I found a number, called and it was a voice mail box of Aaron, the director. I I didn't leave...

I have been getting the same invitations. We students in art schools, years ago were warned about vanity galleries. I will finally unsubscribe from there solicitations....

Clearly it is Yessica. That is the tone she uses when she is trying to gaslight others....

Dear Anonymous, Thank you for reaching out. However, upon reviewing your comment, we noticed discrepancies in the timeline you provided—mentioning "lately" and "a couple of weeks" later, which don’t align. This inconsistency, along with the nature of the claims, strongly suggests that the comment may be fabricated. Also information provided do not align with our practices.

ITSLIQUID Group has reached out to me to place 2 of my artworks in their 2025 show with a deadline for acceptance of 8 days. Sounds like a vanity gallery scam. I looked at some of the artwork they displayed over the past 5 years……..some are skilful but some are truly terrible amateur rubbish. It’s a scam....

Horrible! They don’t do anything good to artist! Wasting money...

I have bad experience with SV !...

Derivative artworks, poor events. They only care about money, milking aspiring artists hoping to be featured and make a sale. The company should not be called Holy Art at all as they dont care about Art. Should be renamed as Holy Sh. Founders cannot even be considered as artists. A Photographer who has mediocre skill without an award in his belt. The rest what? There are other businesses like this in Athens with similar style of...

i so appreciate your posts as I've been approached but didn't trust the message...

Bargehouse is a horrible venue. That artfair is very low quality...

Yesterday I was contacted by Claudio Giulianelli via Linkedin to participate at the Vernice art fair in Forli. Since I was reading this comment I would like to know more details about the experience exhibiting here? Please be so kind to contact me pattwolf@me.com...

As an artist with a 40+ year practice, these phishermen, like Playner disgust me, as do those scammers who try to "buy" artworks that they urge you to convert to NFT's. If they BELIEVE in your work, and have the foundation of real transparent support for the creative makers, NOT the short term profit,NOT the superficial photos proving his being a slave to the ego-driven cult of celebrity, then their entreaties to...

My work has been exhibited on the screen of Miami 23 with the Artbox project And then I took part with them in Venice. And Basel. These are the lines in the CV I had no sales...

Thanks for the warning! It save many artists from frauds...

1. Company says” they’re too busy to answer questions , so let the buyer beware” 2. Their email is spelled incorrectly- (stuidiomagazine) so don’t expect a response 3. Call the gallery at the same address and complain. You’ll get a better response 4. It’s a scam...

That's just the tip of the iceberg with him....

I was almost caught by this. I don’t think this is a real fair and I’m not sending money or art. It’s pretty tricky but there are half dozen signs that indicate it not real....

Hahaha hello Mr. Martin Bernstein....
