Gallery Submission: Your Step‑by‑Step Guide to Sharing Art Online
Got a piece you’re proud of and want to see it in front of real people? Our virtual community makes it easy to put your work on display. No endless forms, no confusing tech—just a clear path from your computer to the gallery wall.
Preparing Your Artwork for Upload
First things first: check the file specs. We accept JPEG and PNG files up to 5 MB. Keep the resolution around 1920 × 1080 pixels—big enough to look sharp, small enough to load fast. If your piece is a photo, turn off auto‑enhance before you save; the gallery will handle any color correction.
Give your file a descriptive name. Instead of "IMG_1234.jpg" try "Sunset‑at‑Cliffs‑2025.jpg". That helps search engines and lets visitors know what they’re looking at before they click.
Submitting Your Piece
Log into your VCD Social Club account and head to the "Gallery Submission" tab. Click "Add New" and fill in the short form: title, a one‑sentence tagline, and up to three tags that describe the mood, medium, or theme. The tags act like keywords, so use words people might type when looking for art like yours.
After you upload, you’ll see a preview. Make sure the image is centered and not cut off. If it looks off, hit "Edit" and adjust the crop. When you’re happy, hit "Publish". Your work goes live within minutes, and a notification pops up for members who follow the "New Art" feed.
Want extra eyes on your piece? Share the link on your personal socials and tag @VCDSocialClub. Our community loves to comment, and a few likes can boost your visibility in the gallery’s "Featured" carousel.
Finally, keep an eye on the comments section. Responding to feedback shows you’re engaged and can turn casual viewers into fans. If someone asks about the technique, drop a quick reply—it builds a connection that keeps people coming back for your next work.
That’s it—upload, tag, share, and interact. In under ten minutes you can have your art in a lively virtual space and start gathering real reactions from fellow art lovers.
