What does Staam Up do?
Staam up transforms hotels into art galleries in order to multiply the opportunities for artists to show their work.
A visual artist is constantly looking for visibility and opportunities to sell his work. The fact is that there are almost 7 million artists in Europe and just under 13,000 galleries.
There are also intermediate solutions, such as fairs or exhibitions, but the cost is high (a stand costs from several hundred euros to several thousand euros for two or three days of exhibition).
We give the artists the benefit of our expertise and act like any gallery owner in promoting their work and defending their interests.
The hotels are our galleries:
There are 150,000 3*, 4* and 5* hotels in Europe that have the qualities we are looking for, just over 10 times the number of art galleries.
We offer :
- Hotels selected for their qualities and we turn them into galleries at the disposal of selected artists.
- The possibility for the artists to register and apply to the calls for applications in a few clicks.
- The possibility for the artists to exhibit their work in magnificent places frequented by a public sensitive to art and with a certain purchasing power.
- The expertise of our team of specialists in contemporary art who write files and notes for each work selected, allowing art lovers to benefit from technical and historical references.
- The animation of networks of art lovers and collectors that we invite to discover the works of the selected artists.
- The sale of the works and a complete logistic and administrative support.
Our key values:
-Commitment: the art world is universal and unifying and should not be reserved for a small circle of so-called initiates who exclude 90% of artistic creation,
-Fairness: artists apply anonymously, as we want to put the work before the CV,
-Respect for artists: All artists have the same opportunities, and all artists receive the same benefits once they are selected.
We hope to highlight ALL artists whose work deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.
