Discovery
How do I add an artwork to Discovery?
In order for your works to be published in Discovery and shown to potential buyers by our AI, you will have to add text in the field "Public Description" when you add an artwork and upload a text that is related to the work. It can be:
- a work description you write yourself
- a related exhibition text
- an excerpt or the full length text from a publication or
- a review that someone else wrote about your exhibition/work.
The text you add will help the AI to understand what your art is about and who to suggest it to.
Make sure you also fill out the 5 basics:
- Artist name
- Title of the work
- Year of creation
- Technique (like acrylic on canvas, or resin or stone)
- Dimensions
