Virtual Exhibitions is here!

ArtPlacer Virtual Exhibitions offer a great opportunity to get creative and throw an online show whether in one of our Virtual Galleries or in your own virtual replica of your Brick-and-Mortar gallery rendered by the ArtPlacer team.

Through intuitive navigation, visitors can “walk a gallery space” which provides an overall sense of spatial awareness. The entire collection and individual artworks can be approached from many perspectives and at different angles for an experience that mimics real life.

Attendees can zoom in, look at details, inquire, and buy artworks directly from the website. Additionally, when visiting the art show on a mobile device, Augmented Reality technology gives attendees a chance to superimpose a favorite piece of art in their own living room or desired space – using the ArtPlacer free Mobile App.

“As a gallery owner and curator, having a robust online platform to create immersive exhibition experiences is no longer just a good idea but a necessity in order to stay relevant in the world today. A solid VR exhibition platform must be easy to use, cross-platform compatible and rich with customizable features to meet the demands of artists and galleries alike. After testing many VR platforms in the market, I’m excited to say ArtPlacer App has developed a premier service that provides everything I need to conduct successful online exhibition programming with time-saving features and excellent customer support.”

– Sergio Gomez, Curator & Director at 33 Contemporary Gallery

Showcase sculpture and 3D-like objects

Are you looking for a creative way to showcase your sculpture work online? ArtPlacer Virtual Galleries are a simple solution to present these types of artworks. 

To share your sculptures and 3D-Like objects on an online art show, follow these steps:

–Upload a good-quality picture of the art piece in PNG format with a transparent background.

–Curate your exhibition: Click on “Pedestals” to place a statue or any type of 3D-like art object in the virtual gallery.

-Customize your pedestal: choose its position, size, and color. You can also choose to remove and show your art piece directly on the floor.

Add Virtual Frames

Virtual artworks presented side by side with a particular frame give an idea of scale and the impact of each piece in a room.

Frame options include a variety of natural woods such as cherry, ash, and walnut as well as clean-painted frames. These are available with and without matting. You can also choose floating frames for thick canvases.

These framing options add a nice extra touch to enhance the virtual expo’s realistic quality.

Assets and ideas to improve your online art show

When it comes to adapting these virtual spaces to your vision and aesthetic, possibilities are endless. You just need to think out of the box and you’ll find creative uses and solutions with the currently available features. For example:

-You can add a red dot to highlight sold pieces like in a IRL gallery.

-Add “people” to showcase the scale of the artworks in the space.

-Add elements and art tools or objects to create a narrative in this space.
