For advice on how to photograph your artwork:

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpj28da03JQ

Read: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpj28da03JQ

Aim for as high a resolution image as possible. We would advise minimum 1Mb and measuring 9cm on its shortest side.

Please remember to put your name and the title of the artwork if relevant in the jpeg before you upload it.

If you don't have an image you can submit an image of yourself in a creative context.

We will email you to notify you of your selection and scheduled broadcast date.

Each live broadcast will be between 45 minutes and 1 hour in duration. A pre-recorded video created in advance, either by the artists themselves or our professional team, will preview on social media earlier in the day, followed by a live broadcast and Q&A between the artist and one of the Pure team, simultaneously live streamed on Youtube and Facebook

No.

We encourage all artists selected for the live broadcasts to embrace the opportunity, however, if there is a specific reason why you can't broadcast live we will consider a pre record option, but, this must be agreed in advance, prior to the broadcast schedule being published.

The live broadcast will be delivered via the Crowdcast.io platform. The platform is very user friendly and allows screen sharing. It also allows for HD download of all broadcasts.

The full schedule of broadcasts will be promoted on the Pure website, in the magazine and on social media. Following each days live broadcast, the HD recording will also be downloaded and added to the Pure website, for further viewing and promotion.

You will need access to a device that has a microphone and camera. Most desk and laptops now have these built in. Clearly the better quality equipment you have the better quality images of your studio we will be able to convey to the audience. You will also need wired headphones and access to wifi for the live broadcast element. This does not need to be in your studio, although this would be preferable. 

* Crowdcast is not compatible with Safari, so you will require access to Chrome. Older IPads have also been found to be incompatible with the Crowdcast platform.

We use an online platform called Crowdcast, and can assure you that it is very user friendly. We did our first live broadcast ever at the beginning of March 2020 and now we are seeing viewing figures in excess of 15,000 people per broadcast! If we can do it, we promise you it must be easy.

Crowdcast have a ‘green room’ to allow time for you to set up, get comfortable and test all your kit, before going live.

If you feel you need additional help we will be able to provide this at additional cost, to be agreed in advance.

Yes.

If you are selected to GO LIVE – you will speak directly to your audience as you would in your studio and people will be directed by you how to buy; be this via your website, online marketplaces or galleries that present your artwork or via your social media channels.
