KBM Art Gallery is an ONLINE ONLY art gallery, so there will be no need to ship your work(s) to us. Our gallery regularly receives thousands of visits worldwide and our website is in the top 98% of all visited sites on its hosting platform.

We have nearly 10K followers on Instagram and nearly 20K on X (Formerly Twitter). All accepted artists will have at least one artwork featured on our social media page(s). We do not remove artworks from our social media pages, even after the closing of an exhibition, except upon artist's request.

Our gallery accepts and displays your artwork at any price set in your CaFE account. You, the artist, are entitled to 100% of the profits from the sale of said artwork, under the agreement to work directly with the buyer to negotiate payment/framing/shipping/etc. If you have a website you sell through, our gallery can link your exhibited artwork directly to it.

We do not require you to display your artwork in our gallery alone. All artists retain the right of ownership over their work, and can display and promote it at their own discretion. We simply ask if your artwork sells elsewhere to let us know so we can mark the work as SOLD for our online audience.

This is a juried exhibition. Our gallery policy is to maintain the anonymity of our jurors in order to protect their privacy and to help maintain unbiased results.

Please send at least 2 jpg images and up to 20 jpg images of up to 20 different artworks.

If you only want our jury to judge 1 artwork, then please send 2 photos of that 1 artwork.

For 2D artists please crop the picture to be of the ARTWORK ONLY. Use a photo-editing app, if necessary, to remove excess shadows/highlights/blurriness/etc.

For 3D artists make sure the artwork is very well-lit, cropped to be in the center, and against a SOLID WHITE BACKGROUND. We strongly recommend the use of a photo editing app to achieve this. You are welcome to send more than one angle of a sculpture, if you cannot decide which one looks best. However, please note we only display 1 image per artwork.
