Artsy is an online platform and marketplace that connects collectors, galleries, and artists. It serves as a comprehensive resource for art enthusiasts, offering a vast collection of artworks for sale, as well as articles, insights, and guides about the art world. Artsy aims to make art more accessible to a global audience by providing a digital space where users can discover, learn about, and purchase art from a wide range of genres, styles, and periods. Additionally, Artsy collaborates with galleries and institutions to host online exhibitions and events, further enriching the experience for users who are passionate about art.

Exhibition themes will be communicated to artists, allowing them the autonomy to choose which pieces to showcase. While participation is optional, artists are strongly encouraged to exhibit their work. It is imperative that artists refrain from displaying the same artwork in multiple shows to maintain variety and interest for our visitors.

Artists are not obligated to fulfill gallery seating duties or any other gallery-related tasks.

TAG will maintain flexible operating hours, ensuring accessibility for visitors, with extended hours as needed.

As the designated gallery of the NEAC, TAG will serve as a multifunctional space for events, classes, and workshops. This provides an invaluable opportunity for increased visibility, allowing visitors to engage with the showcased artwork alongside various activities and programming.
