Exquisite Gallery websites that have successfully optimized their digital presence

Artwrk

Online Gallery

Canada

ARTWRK was born due to a high demand from artists needing a place to sell their work online since Covid-19 caused the closure of galleries and scheduled art fairs.

By combining artworks in full scale, artworks in place, virtual galleries and the ArtPlacer buttons, they create an immersive environment for artists to showcase their art.

Founder Alissa Sexton focused her efforts on creating a dynamic space that artists can access when it suits their needs: a “temporary virtual space” to host exhibitions much like a physical gallery would.

ARTWRK puts extreme effort in providing an interesting viewing experience for website visitors.

Using the ArtPlacer Room Mockups they create in-situ home layouts for their Viewing rooms and social media posts to help buyers envision the art pieces in different interiors.

They have integrated all three ArtPlacer buttons to allow collectors to interact with artworks in a sample room, in their own room or using augmented reality technology (when accessing the website from a mobile device.) This eliminates one of the biggest obstacles when purchasing art online, answering the question: How will these pieces look on my wall?

They also create a sense of urgency by offering collectors a chance to get early access and enter exhibitions with a private code. After a few seconds of navigating their website, a quite-irresistible-pop up appears encouraging you to subscribe to their newsletter: “Artwrk Circle access gives you password access for presales”.

Up & Coming Art

Gallery

The Netherlands

Up & Coming Art is a digital art gallery dedicated to finding unique and contemporary art from artists on the rise.

They believe their visitor’s journey has a single goal, to collect. To collect what you love. “Falling in love with a work of art is more than just enjoying its beauty. To fall in love you need to know what the work is about, what it means, experience it fully. You need to know its story.”

Up & Coming Art takes great effort to make sure visitors can get that experience before they decide to collect.

“We don’t just put up a pretty picture, we tell the work’s story, create multiple composition shots and even offer a feature that allows you to view your desired artwork in your own home.”

Up & Coming Art use ArtPlacer Room Mockups to create impressive compositions of the artworks with different frames and in different rooms. These are side-by-side, showcasing a high-quality image of the artwork, its price, an artist statement and a buy button.

Additionally, they ask collectors to click on a “Have a look” black button in case they are wondering how the art piece would look like on their wall (ArtPlacer Client Room Integration).

The Gallery also uses the ArtPlacer Spaces to illustrate their blog articles with installations of their collections

Wall Liberation
