ARTBOXY Recenzje 8

I worked with Artboxy for a few years,I had 5 exhibits with them and it was a great experience. The team is very well organized,they contacted me constantly,even took the time to write description of visitors reaction around my paintings,they took the time to write a summary of why and what they like about my artwork in the exhibit. I wanted some exposure in Europe and they did absolutely fantastic. I live in the USA and have no interest to sell in Europe,for this reason we had one disagreement because I missed the deadline for registering and they solved it in a very honest way,no hassle or refuse to accept my reasoning. I respect the young,knowledgeable and devoted people at Artboxy and wish them great success.

Being part of ARTBOXY during Miami Art Week was truly a beautiful and meaningful experience. The booth was impeccably curated—professional, minimalist, and thoughtfully designed—with an exceptional attention to detail that reflected true expertise and respect for the artists showcased.

I am deeply grateful to God for this opportunity, and sincerely thankful to ARTBOXY for creating and providing a platform where artists are not only displayed, but genuinely supported and valued. Thank you for allowing our art to live and be seen in such a powerful setting.

Don't waste your money. All those sites that charge high subscription fees for a few photos from supposed digital exhibitions...are absolutely out of the question.
And be careful, they make a living from these scams; their goal is absolutely not to sell your paintings.
Stay away! Not like me, who fell for it and immediately charged me €49 for half a day.

Un equipo de profesionales con los que da gusto trabajar. Gracias a artboxy mis obras se exponen por el mundo entero. Digitalmente y fisicamente.

I Presented my art on and with Artbox.Project from the first exhibition in NYC in 2018 until today. Swiss Art Expo was also good experience for me. The entire team of the Artbox.Project Zürich it's full with very kind persons and helpful. Just to recommend for all artists

I do not recommend this agency, in 3 months I lost about £200, nothing looks like in the description of the site, they offer an exhibition on TV in an empty room without people, photos can be uploaded a week after receiving the information, on my site there is no interaction that someone has seen it, the lady on the phone only offers a discount if you pay for the whole year, this portal promotes amateurs not real artists, for words of criticism they block you on insta and facebook, well..it's weak and good for the naive‼️

I have tried out artboxy.com for around 6 months with my paintings and have been very satisfied so far. I was very suspicious of their service at first, especially because I thought that my artworks would have the same effect when exhibited digitally on screens compared to physical exhibitions. But I tried it out anyways as the it was free for the first month - so why not.

I took the time to visit 2 exhibitions (swissartexpo and Dubai) and was very pleased with how the art is presented and especially how the staff handles the visitors. When I took a seat infront of the screen I was immediately greeted by Linda and asked if there is anything specific I was interested in and if they could show me something. Once I told them that I was an artist they were very friendly and showed me my paintings on the screens, took photos with me and asked about my art for over 30 minutes.

They even had a special apero for artboxy artists with a live musician and drinks.

I have talked to several other artists who have been on the platform for a while and they all told me that they mainly use artboxy to build a story around their art journey and get content to share with their own community. If they sell something through artboxy that's nice - but if not, they still make the most out of all the content they receive every month from the exhibitions. I thought that was interesting as I have rarely used my social medias or other channels to promote my art or build a so called "community".

I have since then regularly posted all of the content they sent me every month on my social medias which has worked wonders for me personally. In the past years I have only participated in around 1-2 physical exhibitions a year because I couldn't afford more as they are extremely expensive and I wasn't able to cover the costs with my sales in most of them.

For me personally artboxy is definitely worth it as it exposes my art to a lot of people online and in the galleries and especially because it gives me a lot of constant content which I can use to market my art. I have received several requests for my art since I joined and was able to sell a couple smaller prints and one bigger commissioned work.

If you don't use the content to market your art or build a story about your "journey" as an artist, it might be better to stick to physical exhibitions and stay away from online platforms in general.

A few days ago, a client of us was contacted that he could participate in an exhibition in Paris for free. But then it turned out that it was a promotion from Artboxy to sell their services afterwards. To be fair, it only costs 1 euro a day if you spend 365 euros upfront for the whole year, otherwise a monthly rate of 49 euro. But what do you actually get for it? Yes, it sounds good at first glance and very tempting for many artists: as an artist, you open an account on the platform and are briefly checked to see if your art is at a certain level. The hurdles are super low, as you can quickly see from the selection of artists. Then you upload your art and can immediately take part in exhibitions (art fairs organized by Artbox) and be shown via monitor in partner galleries. In addition, you also receive photos from the monitor in the gallery with your work plus an exhibition certificate. Yes, guys, it sounds great if you don't know your way around as an artist. But if you take a closer look at the whole thing researched by us, then things look completely different. In the international second art market (the first art market consists of art school graduates and art stars) are an incredible number of hobby artists who are all clamoring for attention. Then there are a few very talented amateur artists and a few self-taught professional artists. And then there are the artists with art academy degrees, who we're not talking about here because they don't need such services. So, the market and the need for art promotion and marketing for hobby and many amateur artists is huge. It's a goldmine! Service providers like Artbox/Artboxy earn their living from it and from the hope of many artists to finally be discovered and sell. What exactly do you get from Artboxy: 1. you can not link your website or your social media page in your Artboxy account which is a no-go. However, this is extremely important for your marketing and the search engine (backlink). 2. you pay 365 euros in advance with no prospect of sale. What use are exhibition certificates if you are shown on a monitor (in an empty gallery) with dozens of artists and have no idea whether your artwork can be properly perceived? An exhibition certificate is just window dressing if your art is ordinary. Even if it's super good, it won't do you any good if you don't have a management/gallerist who puts their heart and soul into marketing your art. A good gallerist will immediately see through your exhibition. The chance of being discovered or selling something this way is very, very small. What most amateur and hobby artists need first is a fair assessment of their art and tips on how they can improve. 3. Artboxy is a service for mediocre exhibition opportunities and a business model that is not really in tune with the times. They don't even offer a platform for video artists. 4. We took a close look at the galleries where any artist who has opened an account with Artboxy can exhibit via monitor. What we found out is that 2 galleries obviously belong to Artboxy themselves but have a different name. The other two galleries in Berlin and Dubai do not exhibit Artboxy artists at all. At least we couldn't see anything about them on their websites. These galleries have a very select portfolio and the gallery in Berlin is owned by an artist who exhibits herself. Very dubious.
Conclusion: Artboxy itself is an art-marketing-business-model and only helps the owners. It will only be useful for those artists who are present at the Artbox ArtFairs and exhibitions and know how to market themselves by networking directly with art enthusiasts. Artboxy serves its own interests first and foremost, and that is sales with the hopes of artists of the second market.
