Answers to Common Questions

General Questions

 

1. If I already have a website, how do I use your product with it?

You can link to your exhibition page from your existing website. You can do this with either a text link or with a copy of your gallery image that we will provide you.

2. If I don’t have a website, can I still use your product?

Yes. Your exhibition can act like a website because it can work by itself without being attached to an actual website. If you don’t have a website, we’ll provide you with an image or a text link that you can e-mail out or attach to any social networking site such as Facebook or Twitter.

 

3. What can your products do for me, that my existing website doesn’t already do?

Our products will exhibit your artwork! We increase the perceived value of your artwork by using nuances from real-world galleries, such as matting, framing, lighting and more, and applying that to your artwork and inserting it into a realistic gallery setting. Your existing website most likely already includes your artwork images, but it’s only showing your artwork, not exhibiting it.

 

4. After I have paid, what exactly am I getting back in return?

We’ll provide you with an exhibition page (that’s viewable through the Internet) which will include your gallery image, your artwork information, along with various links related to your exhibition.

5. Can I change how my exhibition page looks (i.e. background color, fonts, etc.)?

As of now, no. Although, if over a period of time we get a lot of requests from artists who want the option of customizing how their exhibition page looks, we might offer that option in the future.

 

6. How long will my exhibition be on the Internet?

Your exhibition will be on the Internet for as long as you want it to be.

 

7. Will my exhibition (and gallery image) be searchable through Google?

Yes.

 

8. Will you need the original pieces of my artwork?

It depends. If you have digital images of your artwork, you can just send us those. If you don’t have digital images of your artwork, you’ll have to scan or photograph your artwork to get digital images in order for us to use. If you don’t have a way to digitize your artwork, you’ll have to contact us so we can discuss with you how we can be of assistance in digitizing your artwork.

Selling & Replacing Artwork

 

9. Will I have the ability to sell my artwork through my exhibition?

Yes. But understand that your artwork won’t be purchased through credit card payments or shopping carts. Due to the various sizes of framed and unframed artwork, we realize that shipping and handling costs can vary greatly. Therefore, we feel the best way for your potential customers to deal with purchasing your artwork is to communicate directly with you, via e-mail or phone, which will be available to your viewers through purchase links on your exhibition page.

 

Another option, is if you already have a way to purchase your artwork on your existing website, using PayPal pages or something similar, we can have your purchase links forward your viewers there instead of linking them to your e-mail or phone number.

 

10. Can I replace a piece of artwork that’s currently being exhibited?

Yes. For each piece of artwork you choose to replace, it will cost you $30.

 

11. What happens if I sell a piece of artwork in my exhibition?

If you sell a piece of artwork, you have two choices: 1) You can keep that piece in your exhibition, in which case we will replace the price of that artwork with a SOLD indicator, or 2) You can replace the sold piece with a new piece for a cost of $30. Note that the new piece of artwork replacing the sold piece will include a new closer-look window©.

 

12. What percent of the sale price will I receive if I sell a piece of artwork?

When you sell of piece of artwork on your exhibition, you’ll receive 100% of the profit.

Frames, Sculptures & Closer-Look Windows©

 

13. Do you offer additional frame shapes, widths, and finishes?

As of now, no. We will, however, be offering more frame shapes, widths and finishes in the next version of our website. To be notified about additional frame options, join our e-list.

 

14. Can you exhibit any size sculpture?

Yes. Your sculpture can be twenty-foot plus tall, or as small as one inch in height. Our gallery settings are not limited by ceiling height as real-world galleries are.

15. Is it required that I have a closer-look window©?

Yes. The closer-look window© is part of the total-system design of our exhibition pages.

Promoting/Advertising

 

16. Will I have the ability to promote my exhibition (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.)?
