How to Create a Gorgeous Virtual Gallery on your iPhone
A Quickstart Guide to D Emptyspace
How great would it be to own an art gallery where you can showcase your work on your own terms, anytime you want? It may sound like a dream, but with D Emptyspace, it can be your reality.
The D Emptyspace app replicates the feeling of browsing a real gallery. You can Sequence your art and display it alongside a narrative that explains your inspiration and intention.
It all starts with a few taps. Here’s how to get started.
1. Download our app
OK, maybe this one goes without saying, but here’s the download link so you’ve got it handy.
Right now the app is available for iPhone, but soon we’ll release versions for iPad, Android and the web.
2. Begin the experience
Open the app and flip your device sideways to start a truly unique exhibition experience. D Emptyspace is optimized to load instantly so you can become fully immersed.
3. Showcase your work
Your account gives you access to three galleries. Simply choose a template, click on an empty wall, and start uploading! You can arrange and juxtapose your photos in a variety of ways depending on the narrative you want to convey. Curate your gallery to your liking by choosing your best artwork, just like you would a portfolio. Be creative and have fun with it. The opportunities are endless!
4. Be descriptive
Help people understand the story behind your work by adding a title and description for each of your galleries and pictures. Detail your artwork, where the picture was taken, what medium you worked with, or even which camera you used, just like you would in an actual gallery description.
5. Create a compelling profile
Start by creating your artist profile with a bio and photo. Introduce yourself and your work. Let us know what you love, which mediums you prefer to work with, or what inspires you to create.
6. Connect with other artists
Once your galleries are up and running, journey through the art space to meet like-minded artists!
Tap the Shuffle button to instantly visit a random artist’s page.
Tap the Search button to see featured galleries that we have curated to help you discover inspiring new works.
Pro Tip: Tap on an artist’s profile to see who they follow and who follows them. This is a quick way to expand your network of fellow artists!
7. Get inspired
Navigate artists’ galleries by sliding your finger across the screen. You can tap a wall and individual photos to zoom in and read descriptions. Get inspiration from the outstanding work they’ve produced. It’s just like browsing a real gallery.
8. Spread the love
If you like what you see, give it a like or write a comment. As you know, feedback is most certainly appreciated in the art community!
Now that you know the basics, start unleashing your creativity!
We encourage artists of all walks of life to display their work, so they too, have the opportunity to be visible in a space that is far too often reliant on power and connections. At the same time, this means you’ll meet a network of creatives who, just like you, share a passion for the arts.
