We regularly share photos around the office, on our social media channels, via our e-mail newsletters and on our gallery of foam artwork on our website. Artists will always receive credit for their work, and we will do our best to tag the appropriate social media accounts if/when we share the work on our social channels.

When submitting your projects to our gallery please remember these tips to help ensure that we can deliver the best possible content for our visitors.

• Take lots of photos: When documenting your project, be sure to take your photos in a well-lit area and from different angles. Photos from a digital camera or a smartphone work best as they can be easily scaled to fit any format for your gallery page. No need to edit the photos – we can resize them as needed. If you’d like to submit multiple photos, consider sending us a link to a Google photo album or a DropBox folder.

Documentation: Our best gallery pages are those that tell a story. Take work-in-progress photos of your project. Remember that a lot of people come to our gallery looking for ideas and examples of how to progress though their own artwork. Our gallery is a great learning tool and in doing so you can help instruct your fellow artists.

• Context: Include a brief paragraph explaining the process and the tools and products you used to make your artwork. You may wish to include any challenges you might have faced or inspiration you’ve drawn from. If you can deliver some insight and provide a learning experience, you will keep your reader on your page longer and possibly bring them back again and again as they pursue their own works of art.
