FAQs
How does the online exhibition work?
Stanisonne Art Gallery does every month online exhibitions, where photos of the selected artwork will be displayed on our website and also in a 3D virtual exhibition to create a real life experience. Every exhibition will have a different topic. Artists can apply to an open call for free and only if the artist is selected he will have to pay a selection fee. We will promote the exhibition and your artwork throughout the internet and on social media.

Everywhere you will be marked as the owner and you stay forever the owner.
For how long will my artwork be displayed in your gallery?
The duration of every online exhibition will be around a month. During this month the exhibition will be also available in 3D. After the exhibition has ended, it will be archived and available on our website forever, only as an onsite exhibition without the 3D virtual version.

It is important that your artist statement is written in first person. Your biography can be also written in first person or if you like in third, as if the gallery has written about you. Check out How to write an artist statement – Stanisonne Art Gallery
Can I make a change after submitting my application?

Can I submit artwork I do not want to sell?
Yes you can, you only have to write in the prize field, in the submission form, a zero ‘0’ and we will mark it as ‘Not for sale’.
What if someone is interested in my art and wants to buy it?
Every artlover that wants to buy something will be able to make a connection with you directly via the channels you give in the submission form(website, email, social media profile). You sell your artworks personally to the buyer, we do not participate in selling art.
Do you take any commission?
Stanisonne Art Gallery does not take any commission from selling art, because we do not participate in the selling process. We only promote your art. The buyer buys the artwork directly from the artist.
I sold an artwork which has a price on Stanisonne Art Gallery, what should I do?
Send us an email with your name and the name of the artwork and we will mark it as ‘Sold’.

Why are the exhibitions only online and not in person?
For now we chose to be solely an online gallery, because exhibitions in person have a high risk for the artwork of the artist
with shipping it back and forth, while online the exhibition is available for everyone around the globe 24/7
even after it ended, which is not possible if it were in person and you only ship your artwork once when you have sold it to the buyer.
To create the benefit for the eye looking at an exhibition online as if it was in person in a gallery, we use the 3d virtual exhibition, hence you get the feeling of the real exhibition with the benefits of the online world.
