Community Guidelines

Last updated: 01-11-2026

Gallory is an international community of artists. These guidelines apply to every Gallory community space: our WhatsApp groups, Instagram, and the Artist Lounge. They keep the spaces welcoming, useful and safe.

In short. Be kind. Credit artists and their work. Write in the language you are comfortable with, and add a short English line so everyone can follow. Keep money, passwords and private data out of group chats. The team can remove content and members to protect the community.

1. Be respectful

• Treat every member as a fellow artist, whatever their level, style, country or background.
• Critique the work, not the person. Ask before giving feedback on someone’s art.
• No harassment, hate, discrimination, threats or sexual content. No spam or unrequested selling to members.

2. Language

Our members come from many countries, and that is a strength.

• Write in your own language. An introduction in your mother tongue is welcome.
• Add a short English line (two or three sentences is enough) in shared spaces, so the whole community can say hello. Translation tools are fine.
• Language groups. Where a group exists for your language, use it for deeper conversation. The English hub remains the place for announcements, questions to the team and anything for everyone.
• Need a group that doesn’t exist? Ask us to create a community for your language, region or art practice if you feel it is needed. Message the team, or use Ask the team in Gallory.
• Please do not reply to a post in a language the author did not use, unless they ask.

3. Share your work, respect other people’s

• Post only work that is yours, or credit the artist and ask permission.
• Do not repost another member’s work outside the community without their consent.
• Self-promotion is welcome in the places and threads set aside for it. Outside them, share your work when it adds to the conversation.

4. Privacy and safety

• Never share passwords, payment details, IBANs or ID documents in a group or in a direct message. The Gallory team never asks for them there.
• Do not share another member’s contact details, location or private messages without their consent.
• Questions about your account, orders or payouts go to Ask the team inside Gallory, not to a group. Details of your account stay private that way.
• Be careful with unknown links and offers. Report anything that looks like a scam.

5. What happens when something goes wrong

If a post or a member breaks these guidelines, the Gallory team can:

1. Remove the content and send a friendly reminder.
2. Mute or remove the member from a space, if it continues or is serious.
3. Remove someone from all Gallory spaces for serious or repeated harm (harassment, threats, scams).

Serious cases go straight to step 3. We tell the member why, when it is safe to do so.

6. Reporting

Message a member of the Gallory team privately in the group, or write to us with Ask the team in Gallory. Include a link or screenshot. We keep reports confidential.

7. Changes

We update these guidelines as the community grows. The latest version is always the one linked from our community spaces. This version is dated 01-11-2026.
