Visual Submission Requirements

Technical Image Specifications

Before dropping your files into the upload fields, verify that your digital assets align with these technical standards based on your submission type:

Physical Original Artworks (With or Without Prints)

• File Format & Size: Upload files in high-quality JPEG or PNG formats. Each individual image must have a resolution of at least 300 DPI to ensure smooth rendering on high-definition displays and mobile viewports.

• Lighting & Color Profiles: Shoot your work under bright, color-balanced, indirect lighting (natural overcast daylight or professional studio softboxes). Ensure the digital representation exactly matches the real-world tones, saturation, and contrast of your medium.

• The "Zero-Glare" Rule: Avoid direct flash or harsh angles that cause reflection hot-spots on high-gloss varnishes, epoxy resins, or glass surfaces.

Print Shop Exclusives (Digital Only)

• File Format & Size: Upload images in JPEG format exported at maximum quality (100%). The intake pipeline safely accommodates a maximum file size of up to 10 MB per upload to preserve fine-art details.

• Resolution & Quality: Prepare and export files at 150 DPI. This is the gold standard for crisp, professional-quality gallery prints at large dimensions without pixelation.

• Color Profile: Embed the RGB color profile into the files to maintain vibrant, accurate color translation through our digital printing pipeline.

• Maximum Print Formats: Canvas prints support sizing up to 180cm x 120cm; Fine Art Paper prints support sizing up to 100cm x 140cm.

File Naming Conventions

To keep our inventory cleanly cataloged and linked across our curation systems, please rename all image files using the exact structures below before uploading:

• Primary Artwork Image: ArtistName_ArtworkTitle_Primary.jpg

  • Example: JaneDoe_SunriseOverTheHorizon_Primary.jpg

• Print Master File (For Print-Only or Hybrid choices): ArtistName_ArtworkTitle_PrintMaster.jpg

• Secondary Image (Originals only): ArtistName_ArtworkTitle_Secondary.jpg

• Detail/Texture Shots (Originals only): ArtistName_ArtworkTitle_Detail1.jpg (increment numbers for multiple shots)

• Signature Verification (Originals only): ArtistName_Signature.jpg

Framing & Cropping Integrity

How you crop your primary presentation shot determines its visual impact on the gallery storefront.

• Primary Artwork Image: Your primary image must be cropped exactly to the absolute borders of the artwork edge. Do not include background studio clutter, painter's tape, easels, flooring, or gallery wall textures.

• Handling Frames: Do not include a decorative frame in your primary upload unless the frame is physically integrated, built by the artist, and permanently included as a non-negotiable component of the retail purchase price.

• Stretched Canvas Profiles: If your work is an unframed gallery-wrapped canvas, ensure your primary shot is taken completely square-on to avoid perspective distortion.

Supplemental Shots & Context

(Physical Originals Only)

To give curators and collectors a complete physical understanding of your original work, please provide the following views. Print Shop Exclusives can disregard these fields.

• Secondary Image: A secondary high-resolution shot verifying structural integrity from an alternate clean profile or angle.

• Detail or Texture Shot: Close-up imagery highlighting specialized mark-making, heavy impasto brushwork, delicate linen weaves, or unique medium interactions. You may submit up to 5 individual close-ups.

• Signature Verification: A clear, close-up photograph of your artist signature, monogram, or official stamp as it appears physically on the corner or reverse side of the work.
