Curatorial index

The 5 curatorial compatibility criteria (100 pts)

Each criterion contributes to a transparent index. No black box: you see exactly why an artist is recommended.

30/100

🎨 Artistic style

The style declared by the artist (abstraction, figurative, digital art…) is matched against the preferred styles entered by the gallery. Direct match or via the gallery's specialty. Weighted highest as it's the most discriminating criterion.

25/100

πŸ’° Price range

The average price of the artist's works is compared to the gallery's price_min / price_max. Full match if within range, partial at Β±30%. Avoids mismatches between artists and galleries that don't serve the same market.

20/100

πŸ“ Location

Comparison of declared locations (city, country). A Parisian gallery will tend to match more with artists based in Paris or the Paris region β€” without excluding talent from elsewhere.

15/100

πŸ–ŒοΈ Mediums

The techniques used by the artist (oil, photography, sculpture, mixed media…) are calculated from their works and matched with the gallery's preferred mediums. Progressive score based on overlap.

10/100

🎯 Target market

Does the gallery target the emerging, mid-career or established? The artist's status is inferred from the number of CV entries (β‰₯5 = established, β‰₯2 = mid-career, otherwise emerging). Exact or compatible match.

100/100

Total transparent score

Each match shows the final score + detailed reasons. No opacity: if you see a match at 65, you know exactly which criteria composed it.

FAQ

Detailed questions

How does the compatibility index work exactly?

The index computes a 0-100 score by adding points across 5 weighted criteria: style (30), price (25), location (20), mediums (15), and target market (10). Each criterion follows its own logic (exact / partial / low). Point details and reasons are shown in the dashboard for full transparency.

How much does artist-gallery sourcing cost?

It's free for both parties. No subscription, no commission on signed partnerships. The platform earns only from marketplace sales: 17% for direct artists, 5% for galleries (saving them 12 percentage points).

Are my contact details protected?

Yes. All exchanges go through internal messaging. No professional email is ever exposed to the other party unless you explicitly shared it.

What happens when a partnership is accepted?

Artist side: their public page gains a 'represented by X' badge and profile is highlighted. Their works are no longer sold directly on the marketplace but via the gallery (5% commission instead of 17%). Gallery side: their page is featured on the homepage with represented artists.

What happens if a gallery declines my proposal?

You receive the decision in your dashboard. You can follow up later with a new message β€” the platform keeps the history. No limit on the number of proposals sent.

How does the index identify my "market" as an artist?

Transparent heuristic based on your CV: β‰₯5 CV entries (exhibitions, awards, publications, collections) = established, β‰₯2 entries = mid-career, otherwise emerging. You can enrich your CV at any time to refine this status.
