NO NAME COLLECTIVE PROJECT POLICY

ART & PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT – EUROPE

Update – November 2025

​

About Us

No Name Collective is an independent curatorial and cultural project based in Europe, with a professional network that includes galleries, curators, art advisors, collectors, and art fair organizers.

We operate primarily online, with a focus on research, curatorial support, and professional visibility for emerging and mid-career artists.

We are not a mass platform and not a marketplace.
We act as a curatorial incubator, a filter for the professional art world, and a long-term support network for artists selected through our annual Challenges.

​

Selection & Monitoring Process
1. Challenge Selection

Artists are chosen through our NNC Challenge, which is the only entry point to join the NNC Collectives.
Participation requires a 48 € application fee, covering the curatorial evaluation and administrative process.
We also maintain a support fund for artists in developing countries or facing verified financial hardship.

2. Monitoring Period

Artists selected through the Challenge enter a monitoring phase of up to two years, during which their artistic and professional development is closely followed.

3. Evaluation Before Representation

Before being officially introduced into a Collective or represented by NNC Gallery, artists undergo a minimum 12–18 months of evaluation, ensuring consistent quality and professional growth.

4. Gradual Introduction

Once approved, artists are presented in progressive stages:

First through private previews to curators, galleries, and collectors in our network;

Later, through official features in our magazine, online platforms, and exhibitions.

This ensures credibility and reliability toward our professional partners.

Publication & Timing

Publication timing is based on editorial priorities and curatorial strategy.
Not all artists appear immediately in print or online; each case follows an internal schedule to optimize presentation and audience reach.

No artist can claim an automatic right to publication or representation; all decisions are made by the curatorial board.

Professional Standards

We collaborate with a limited number of artists, focusing on quality over quantity.

Artists who do not demonstrate growth, professionalism, or compliance with NNC guidelines may be excluded from future stages to preserve the integrity of our network.

Unprofessional behavior or non-cooperation may result in removal from the Collective.

Rights & Usage

Artists retain full ownership and copyright of their works.

By submitting to the Challenge or Collective, artists authorize NNC V World Gallery to use their images, texts, and related materials for curatorial, editorial, and promotional purposes, both online and in print.

NNC does not claim ownership of any original artworks.
The copyright remains entirely with the artist.

Requests for removal of materials can be sent to info@nonamecollectivegallery.co.uk

Payments & Fees

The 48 € fee covers participation in the Challenge and curatorial evaluation.

Fees are non-refundable and do not guarantee selection or representation.

No further fees are required after joining the Gallery.

NNC does not take commissions on sales unless otherwise agreed with the artist.

All payments are considered art consultancy and management fees supporting NNC’s operations.

Archiving & Future Consideration

Artworks not selected are archived for up to one year and may be considered for future editorial projects or special features.
After this period, they are removed from the archive.

Transparency & Integrity

All selections are made through a neutral and documented process based on artistic quality, coherence, and originality.
The decisions of the curatorial team are final and non-negotiable.

We do not make unrealistic promises or offer instant results — our mission is to build long-term artistic value and credibility for every selected artist.

Network & International Presence

NNC maintains an extensive network including:

Galleries seeking new emerging talents

Curators and art advisors scouting for fresh voices

Collectors looking for curated, credible insights

Art fairs and institutions exploring innovative projects

Our operations are based across Rome, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and London, with collaborators and partners throughout Europe and internationally.
Post-Brexit, our main base is in the European Union, while we continue to maintain a strong curatorial presence in the UK.

​​Sales & Commercial Relations

NNC Gallery London Project is not a sales platform, but acts as a curatorial and promotional bridge between artists and collectors.

When a collector expresses interest in a featured work, the inquiry is forwarded directly to the artist or to the artist’s official representative.
NNC does not act as an intermediary in financial transactions, unless a specific written agreement has been established for representation or commission management.

In cases where a sale is facilitated by the gallery through exhibitions, fairs, or curated projects:

• NNC may apply a curatorial commission, previously discussed and agreed upon with the artist;

• all payments are processed transparently, and the artist receives the agreed share directly;

• NNC issues invoices only for curatorial or consultancy services, not for the sale of the artworks themselves.

Artists must ensure that their works are available and properly priced, and that they can handle delivery, insurance, and documentation when contacted by collectors or curators.

Any dispute related to private transactions between artists and collectors remains outside NNC Gallery’s responsibility.
