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. I don't understand people like you, spreading lies. It's a shame! Thanks Ludvig Rage for all the support and effort!!!...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

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

Inigo Philbrick
I was friends with Inigo for a couple of years, around 2008/2010, until I was in London. He was one of those friends/acquaintances that you see once in a while and have cool conversations with. I was an arts student at the time, and was having a lot of trouble at my conservative school, and he helped me, read the letters from the school, and gave me some of the best advice I had received on it. I remember I was going to Italy for a short period of time, and he asked if I could look into a wallet…

This gallery hits all the marks of a Scam – with connections to an artist (?) Andrew Paton/Leddy (https://www.artpaton.online) who claims to be a graduate of the esteemed Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney. A lie. A man with a long history of damaging artists, and many techniques that artists would be advised to brush up on to avoid his scams, or similar scams by other dubious galleries: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10221322138755326&set=a.1141896519955. Artists have reported unpleasant dealings with Starvd Art plus previous galleries.

I’ve been contacted by so many this summer and found a lot of them on here!! One I haven’t seen mentioned is The Artling an online gallery saying how much they like my work and could show it for free but just a “small” commission! Anyone had dealings with them??
read moreGalería Azur Madrid: vanity gallery
The usual story: a gallery rep contacted me by email and said she had seen and liked my work, and asked if I wanted to be in a group show. The reason I am posting this is that unlike IT’S LIQUID and similar well-known scams, this one is a new gallery in Madrid that has apparently been around in Argentina, their home country, for a while. The director seems to belong to a well-to-do family, and they have a substantial following on instagram. So, for just a minute or two, I thought for once it wasn’t the usual hoax. HA!!…

Anyone have any info on Laguna Art Gallery? I think they are associated with New York art, Townely gallery, Gallery 104. I believe this is a scam at this point. Amy Martinez contacted me back in March to have a live page to sell for $250. I paid, and still waiting for page to go up. Someone else contacted me Sonny Shenhan, as “lead Curator” and was supposedly taking care of it… Still waiting. They have my money, but no art thank goodness. Would love to hear anyone else experiences…
read moreThe Emerging Artist Platform – stay away
I had an awful experience with the emerging artist platform. It’s not just the fact that they ignored my messages, did not upload my new work, did not update my page as I sold various pieces (not through them obviously but through other galleries) did not provide PR, marketing and consultancy services (which they said they would). It’s how Jazz Jade handled the whole situation. I grew up around entrepreneurs and my family run various business and I have worked with them every now and then. When they receive a complain or a comment from a client, they do not…

So like so many others, my experience with these guys is not good. I was contacted through Instagram, very impressed with my work, offered me a place on the EAP, I decided to go with, paid my fee and sent off my artwork photos. I even contact Jill Blakely who has exhibited with them, and her experience was fine. She had no complaints about them at all, and sold 3 paintings through them. I seriously think that these people scam the larger majority of people they contact, but some they do work with, makes their outfit look ok on the…

I was contacted by EAP. I was curious so i did a little on line research. It seems there are a fair number of people dissatisfied with their dealings with EAP. That can be true of any business that there are dissatisfied customers. My next step was to look at the work featured by them. Honestly speaking as a professional artists who has been making art for over 50 years and teaching over 30 years the artwork I saw was some of the most amateur work I had ever seen. Maybe EAP is a legitimate business but I have to…

I have been approached by Lauren on Instagram telling me how much she loves my artwork asking if I would be interested in joining her team of artists selling their works. I of course like a lot of you was very interested. I almost went ahead and wrote back to her. Decided to do a little research first. I just wanted to say thank you for your messages. I’m sorry Stop hear the awful experiences you have been having. But it a big thank you to you other people won’t be going through the same. Hopefully more people will do…
