Spanish social art site Noenga sign up

Noenga is a Valencia based art social networking site. This is fairly new and already has a sizable membership. The director Misha Stoutenbeek spotted me chatting about GalleryCentric in an art discussion forum  on Linkedin. Now Noenga is using GC to showcase their Top Rated artists. This is only the beginning of a great relationship between us. They are in a beta phase until the new year.. then whammo, joint press releases all over Europe and the States.
Noenga is a pretty full site with lots going on. It is truly multi-language, with artists exhibiting from all over the globe.  ........certainly worth checking out.

There's some truly beautiful works in this exhibition and so eclectic, bringing artists from around the world into one space.
This has never been possible before GalleryCentric

John Leech gallery joins Gallerycentric

Yes, John Gow is now using Gallerycentric on his site www.johnleechgallery.co.nz
The first exhibition is their "Spring Catalogue 2009"


Major artists from New Zealand past to present day are represented in this magnificent exhibition. The way Gallerycentric is integrated is seamless. JLG have used a template web page customised by Gallerycentric's developer Ignitiondevelopment's Ross Hawkins.
He's done a great job, you really can't tell that it is not actually part of their main site. All the buttons works and  .. well go and see for yourself.
Artists include Shane Cotton and Colin McCahon, Francis Hodgkins and Alan Maddox and sinister Tony Fomison.
So if you can't get along to the show in person.. now you can. Go to the exhibitions page and then click on Virtual gallery then on the title "Spring Catalogue Exhibition 2009"

Trance Art by Luna Olcott

http://www.gallerycentric.comNow here is ART with a difference. How does she do this?
Luna creates these amazing works whilst in a trance. It is obvious that this exhibition caputures visions from other worlds. These worlds and the characters that reside in them, could be described as energies, luminous forms scratched, brushed, blended into the mind of the paper she uses.
One feels extremely lucky to be able to view art like this. It is so, so different.
I have never seen work quite like this before. The scenes illuminated before one on the walls of this virtual gallery, throb with life, they almost dance or swim in front of you . You've just got to see it for yourselves. Time to experience it now.

Trance Drawings by Luna Olcott on now at GalleryCentric.com

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!
