I always enjoy visiting art or photography exhibitions, whenever I get the chance. I find it awesome that the creation of an artist can be seen from so many eyes, from so many people all around the world. A few days ago I thought.. why not making these exhibitions available to everyone, and not only to the ones who are in the physical location where the event takes place?
I did some online searching, and I will be trying out some applications to discover what is the best option according to my current (and future) needs!
Today we will be exploring Virtual Art Gallery
Virtual Art Gallery
The reason I decided to try this one first is because it has a free version so this gives me the opportunity to fully try it out!

Sign Up Process
The user is not required to provide a credit card, so it makes it even easier for me to sign up
The information you need to provide is: first & last name, email, password and (optionally) Company Name!
Easy, right?
After filling in all the data, click on the confirmation email and you are all set
Creating our first gallery!
You can start by being a wizard 'where you will receive tips as you continue' or a 'creator' where you will have the full features.
I suggest that you read the FAQs before starting
https://virtualartgallery.com/faq/
And here https://virtualartgallery.com/galleries-floor-plans/ you can also check out the available floor plans for your gallery
Choosing 'wizard'
You immediately can choose your gallery and start uploading your art
If you choose 'creator'
You are in full control of your gallery
There are a lot of 'tweaks' you can do for your gallery, but you should note that analytics are not available in the free plan.
Exhibition ready!
Well, almost!
I uploaded 4 of my pictures just to show you how it would be like.
You can create different collections and add to each of them up to 38 artwork.
You can take a look here: https://visit.virtualartgallery.com/katycrete/
I would like to be able to write something under each photo
But I guess that someone could add a title or information under each phot/artwork and upload it all together.
Overall
This is a very easy app to use, it takes a few minutes to set it up and it is easy for the user to see your work. I had issues with Chrome, the page would not load completely but watching it in Firefox & Brave was fine.
For this case I am not interested in adding NFTs. For NFTs I have used the OnCyber platform (Check out an example here https://oncyber.io/katycrete-sunset)
I hope that this post is useful to you, what would you search for in such an app?
Looking forward to receiving your feedback!!
