Prepare your exhibition
SIZES IN CANVAS
Our gallery primarily features artworks with canvas sizes limited to the following dimensions:
While we primarily showcase artworks within these predefined dimensions, custom-sized canvas can be created if needed. If custom sizes are needed, they must adhere to the maximum dimensions of 256×256. If you want an art piece to go beyond 256, we can display it on several adjoining canvas. In such cases, you will have to separate the artwork you want to exhibit into different NFTs during the minting process (see. mint your art).

LIGHTING GUIDE
When setting up the room for your exhibition, we manage the lighting to enhance the presentation of artworks. In most cases, we use the “ignore the lights” function to ensure optimal visibility and focus on the displayed pieces. However, given that the gallery setting is at night, artworks with predominantly white elements may appear overly bright if this function is enabled. In such instances, we have the flexibility to deactivate the function and implement alternative lighting sources to achieve the desired effect. This ensures that each artwork is showcased in its best light, maintaining balance and visual appeal. See the figure below illustrating the adjustment of lighting settings for optimal display.
From left to right : no light, artificial spot light, ignore the light function. Example with the art piece ‘Il était une fois’ by Ambred

PRESENTATION PANORAMA
As part of the exhibition preparation process, artists are requested to create a panorama presenting themselves and their exhibition. The format for this panorama is 1920×1080 pixels. These panoramas will serve as an introduction to both the artist and their collection. They will be prominently displayed in the main hall of the gallery, offering visitors a glimpse of what they can find in each room. Additionally, each panorama is showcased at the entrance of the respective rooms.
DETAILED PRESENTATION FOR THE WEBSITE
Additionally, artists are required to provide a detailed presentation of themselves, a narrative detailing their creative journey, and a final description introducing the exhibition. These elements will be featured on a dedicated page within the website. Within this section, one artwork and a room screenshot will be directly showcased, providing visitors with a glimpse into the exhibition’s offerings.
LAUNCH EVENT
The gallery supports artists in organizing their own launch events, if desired, to celebrate the introduction of new exhibits and artists to our community. We can assist with promoting the launch date, creating visuals, and boosting visibility through our social media channels to help ensure a successful introduction of your work. These events provide a unique opportunity for artists to engage with visitors on a personal level, enhancing the connection between the artwork and the audience. To further enhance interaction during these events, we employ vocal rooms within each exhibition space, allowing artists to engage in live discussions about their art with visitors via Discord. Additionally, both vocal and text rooms on Discord remain operational throughout the entire display period of the exhibitions, enabling continuous engagement and interaction between artists and visitors beyond the launch events.
