GalleryCentric is totally live now!!

Announcing GalleryCentric.

For the first time in the worlds history, gallery art exhibitions can actually take place online.

GalleryCentric will change the way art is viewed online, forever.

This is no ordinary online gallery, GalleryCentric provides artists, art dealers and gallery owners with a new and more dynamic medium to showcase their art.
It is a place to choose your gallery space, and create your own self-directed, interactive 3d exhibitions. They are then published and integrated within your own website as well as being viewable from your own page on the GalleryCentric website. No massive lists to search through as each artist and gallery has their own individual link/address.

Using our exhibition creator you can hang an exhibition within minutes, preview it in true 3d, and only pay when you publish it to the web. 

Click on a work from anywhere in a gallery and you are flown to it, looking at artwork this way is so much more engaging than current magazine style webpages.

It is fast to download and you can view the work all in one space, much the same as in a real art gallery, but here you can fly, change    the wall colour and be at home in your pyjamas.      

This is only a small part of what GalleryCentric can do for you and your business.

Please go and look for yourself today http://www.gallerycentric.com and join the future now!

LAUNCH A SUCCESS

A successful soft launch at Dorothy's Sisters last night. Amanda Lane our boss gave a wonderful speech to thank our tireless crew, Dr. Roy Davies, Ross Hawkins, John McBride, Ellen Wilks and our cast of visionary supporters and advisers.
She said that a number of people over the past 4 years had said " Why don't you get a real job" and that obviously, none of those would be here tonight.
I gave a small speech about why GC was created and about it's future possibilities which was followed by an amazing performance by local drag queens "Vera and Doreen" singing amongst other songs, "I will survive". So appropriate. We partied as late as launching a new website the next morning would allow.
Morning found us rather tired and having to suffer life without the internet or phone lines for the second time in a week.. courtesy of Vodafone. However it was up by 6pm and work ensued on the last few grumbling bugs as we trod on them and tore off their nasty little legs.
'orrible fings that they are.
New server names and transferring of the sites to them where created during the day by Ross Hawkins our developer from Ignition Development.

Test exhibitions are being created to use as examples for the beta testers that will come on board from around the globe over the coming week.
Selwyn college started to create an exhibition and test out which would be the best choice for integration of content into their site, Selnet. (more on that as it progresses)
An inquiry from Compendium Gallery in Lorne St will be followed up next.
So we are off to a ROARING!! start, with lots of exhibitions about to be hung and accessible from our site very soon.

GalleryCentric is about to GO LIVE

GalleryCentric breaks the online gallery mold. It is a place where artists and art dealers can choose from a selection of 3D galleries, create exhibitions and show them on the world wide web, from their own websites. After years of hard work, GalleryCentric is about to be born.

On September 7^th the website www.GalleryCentric.com will go live. Designed by artists for artists, here the global art community can view art in an elegant 3D gallery. Using your mouse or keyboard, you can view art from any angle, up close or collectively from a distance, as though you were standing in an actual gallery in Soho. Actually­–anywhere in the world.

GalleryCentric blurs the line between reality and the internet like no other virtual gallery. Artists, artist’s agents, art dealers and gallery owners can use GalleryCentric as a 3D virtual host for showing their works.

Our Exhibition Creator allows you to upload your artwork via simple instructions to create an online exhibit that launches from your website. We have a selection of galleries, so you can choose whether you want to curate an intimate or a group-sized space. Each gallery has an elegant interior with adjustable framing and positioning. The size of the artwork is shown to scale. Each exhibition has a title, artist or group name and a 150-word description. When you’re happy with the curation press the "Preview" button and see your exhibition in the 3D gallery.

Previewing enables you to make decisions about what edits you want to make in your exhibit. Simply click back to the Exhibition Creator and make the changes before you publish it. Once published you’re allowed to make edits for 30 days.

Ready to show your exhibition to the world? Here are the options available:

You...

1. can create a link to a GalleryCentric display page
2. can embed your exhibitions within your current website
3. dont have a website? We can create a personalized webpage for you, specifically designed to showcase your GalleryCentric exhibitions

Every exhibition has your specified contact link accessible from within it, so clients can easily make contact about buying your artwork. We can also provide e-commerce solutions if required.
