This stage only needs to be done once, and once completed, you are automatically pre-registered for ALL art shows using the Gallery 247 platform.
To register as an artist, use our simple registration form. This is free, and after your details have been submitted, you automatically become member of Gallery 247, and you will be notified of your password by return email.
Log in again to either the art show with which you’ve just registered, or log in to Gallery 247, using your email address as your user name and the password you’ve just been allocated. After you log in, it is important that you update your profile by clicking on the Update My Profile link.
Note that many art shows won't issue cheques and will only make a direct deposit into this designated bank account.
Make sure that you click on [UPDATE] to save the information you’ve just entered.
You only need to register once, irrespective of the number of art shows you plan to enter.
This process consists of simply uploading one more photographs of each work. Where more than one image is uploaded, the system automatically generates a slide show of that work. It's particularly useful in showing prominent detail or portion of the frame / mat.
To access your personal gallery, after you've logged on click on the [MY ARTWORK] drop-down menu item under [MY GALLERY 247], or click on the Upload or Edit My Artwork link.
Now click on the button ADD NEW ARTWORK. A popup window will now appear - add an artwork title, select the artworks characteristics then hit the Insert Artwork button
Add an artwork title, dimensions, medium, genre, base and artshow price, then click on insert artwork. You will then be asked if you wish to upload an image.
Before you work on uploading images, you should refer to our tutorial on how to photograph your art work and after you photograph your painting guide.
Once you have done this you can start uploading images related to that artwork. Just click on the item in your artwork list - then click on the Artwork Images Tab (across the top of the popup window), use the Browse button to select the image from your computer and then click on Upload.
You can upload as many art works as you wish. This is your personal gallery, and whenever you decide to enter an art show, you select which works from your personal gallery as you want, up to the art show entry limit.
After you’ve uploaded your photographs, you can select any work and edit its details, or upload additional photographs of that particular work. Note that whatever details you enter here are likely to be used in the art show catalogue, as well as the art show’s online preview gallery that’s open to the public.
To edit details about any work, click on the [EDIT] icon next to each work in your personal gallery. There, you will be able to edit:
To enter any art show, click on the [SUBMIT TO ART SHOWS] drop-down menu item under [MY GALLERY 247], or click on the Submit to art shows link in your MY GALLERY 247 page.
Note that if you’ve logged in via a specific art show, that will be the only one you can enter. If you’ve logged in via Gallery 247 website, you will be able to select from any participating art show - all conditional on the show concerned accepting entries at that time.
To submit one or more works, click on the checkbox next to the work or works you want to enter, and click on SUBMIT ARTWORK TO SHOW.
Each show will have its own maximum number of submissions they will consider. So you will only be able to flag entries up to the maximum permitted by the show concerned.
For those shows that require a fee for pre-acceptance submission, you will be presented with a secure payment form that provides for various methods of payment. On completion of the payment form you will be automatically emailed a tax invoice.
Note: Until you complete this step, the art show selection panel cannot see your work to review it.
Free gallery 247 membership allows you to store as many works in your personal gallery as you wish. Only 2 of these are visible to the public. The only time an art show sees your work is when you actually submit your work to a show. The only time that submitted works are visible on the Art Show's website is after they've been accepted for hanging or for display. Once the show is over, they remain visible as part of the show's history.
If you decide to upgrade your membership, then more of your personal gallery becomes visible to the outside world, and is searchable within Gallery 247 as well as on Google and other search engines. The number of works you are allowed to display and sell on line depends on your membership level.
