Thanks God I found this chat ! It seems there are many many artists that are unsatisfied with the service or the lack of it. The company take ur money and dont pay you. Someone in the UK should report this company to the police. Ive heard the previous gallery owner was shady in his own right! Every time I thought the EAP was dodgey I was reassured. Im not here to influence people. Like someone said in this platform earlier it is most likely that just one or two people running this whole thing with multiple fake ids and made up story about having this well organized team of ART FINANCE MANAGER, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, HEAD OF MIDDLE EASTERN MARKETS etc. I have been approached on Instagram by this company few weeks ago and felt something wrong. If nothing shows until 25th, Ill call my bank, stop the transaction, and report scam. This is despicable behavior from these people. It was very easy to do via the online reporting system. People are not writing these reviews for fun. if so, for how much, if I my ask? You guys are doing all this for 30 quid! What a mean person! Showcasing your work to thousands of collectors with Online Galleries like Plogix Gallery. Pros Great work enviroment Cons Shut downs Was this review helpful? Lauren didnt answer them either, but quickly deleted the comments so as not to look bad. This is the form she sent. Sounds like the previous gallery owner was a scammer. As the artist I feel extremely horrible. I told them first i would be happy to join the platform and since then, they literally harass me by e-mail and on instagram !! If so, I want to clarify a few things. Well, in my opinion, if you are an artist and good at it, stay local. Her is a statement you can use on your sites to warn other artists about EAP.

Bye Jaz. You have save me from a lot of trouble and upset. Only when I threatened to file a report with the police did she promptly write back to me. Please keep sharing and contacting artists. Horrendous company. There are so many artists signed up alreadyIf I was the owner or the superior of the company I would apologize on behalf of the whole company and would give a strict warning to the person writing such things. I asked them to not set my page up and instead refund me but I was completely ignored and they still went ahead a creating the page and I have received no guidance on how to fill out that form. How would you know if our service is poor and unprofessional if you havent even had it yet? It is shameful, really it is! EAPs service just does not work. I have never experienced such unprinting behavior by a company. They will lose their money too. Nothing about anyone. Do you by any chance have any suggestions of what I can do to make this more public? I will be posting our conversation on an online forum. Sadly it looks like many artists may not get their money back. blog.emilybarroso.com. Police have visited more than twice but I dont specifically know why, but assume its about them scamming people. I literally had to annoy them to put up my page. 1. the EAP and its representatives have offered very poor customer service if any by not responding to emails or requests for phone calls which has OBVIOUSLY cost distrust and doubts among the artists and the buyers.

This is an artist that cancelled the delivery we payed 150s for. There is my name and link to my Instagram. The issue is you have SOO much to say about something you havent even begun?

Maybe an (art) journalist would like to investigate this? When I asked why I was not made aware of this before signing up and also sent the link to this page the employee I was dealing with missartcurator (Jazz) for very rude and defensive and said I had a chip on my shoulder and that she cod see I would be difficult to work with I asked for cancellation and a refund and she said I wont be getting a refund and my account will be cancelled with immediate effect, Here is the chain where she was incredibly rude and unprofessional. I too have had problems with them. Information from expert art sites are pasted into #Hansford&Sons web pages to give the impression that they are experts, but they appear to be a group trawling the internet for artists to subscribe to their platform. There are two sides to this group a light facade with a dark background. Both myself and the buyer has been able to get answers as to what to do next. The gallery being 'legit,' though completely unprofessional, is the 'front' of the business, everything else is dodgy, especially Jazz Jade. By in linseneintopf mit kartoffeln in linseneintopf mit kartoffeln So I think I will pass. We share our opinions and, above all, our experiences here. Thank you. The only way I got my page created was by pestering the 2 scouts who originally contacted me through Instagram, (even one of those ignored my request until I made a bigger fuss!) You might get a space in their gallery in the Middle of Nowhere or a rolling exhibition though. I signed up last month after being approached by a young girl called Lauren, great and chatty. They are a fake company after every penny that they can get. I received that same link from Lauren but Im not even able to fill out the Instagram/Facebook Handle section. There is NO gallery in Great Portland Street. EAPs explanation was that this page is being written by only one person a liar named Anonymous. Its also sketch how sooo many people are getting offers from them. Shame on the EAP! After reading these comments, I started having doubts and expressed my concerns directly to the lady, who approached me on Instagram . You can do whatever you want with it. The actual truth is the opposite: I was trying to have them to organize the shipping but they totally failed to do that. So many cases open on this horrific company keep sharing over social media so that it stops others from having the same experience as us. Grow up and learn how to run a business properly then there wont be so many complaints about you and your terrible company. They still seem to be in the scamming business, even after a year of this post being put up. I dont see this criticism being from only 1-2 people?

Nisha Kapoor is an International award winning artist with affiliation from UNESCO (a United Nation's body). Murdaugh was led to the Colleton County .

Deeksha and someone else were based in India. Doesnt look like theyre closing anytime soon! The contact and behavior is impeccable until you pay the fee. they dont seem to be real people the quality of the photos could just as easily have come from photoshop or been generated by other websites. 4. they (Jazz) have not taken any responsibility what so ever for her disgusting behavior towards people and serious lack of service what people have paid for. Without a contract, staff debt is a non-criminal matter. What I am saying is you keep asking for artists names. This is probably why Kelley found it hard to answer your questions and has directed you to me. Well now I cannot get in touch with Lauren or this person named Jazz.. I cant find anything on them.. I contacted the bank prior to the one year and asked how to protect myself and they gave me a new card, and still they managed to charge me. If you are not giving me a refund for those lack of service in will be taking legal action. I havent got my money back until today. This is my experience too. We sat and worked from home just messaging as many people as we could they wanted as many people to sign up so that they would get more money when the payment automatically renewed after a year. It isnt what they tell you and there is clearly something very much wrong with it. Please provide me with contact details of your manager or someone more senior/professional. I sold some of my works by myself but felt not good about it. Anyone else notice how all the staff have changed. Ive directly emailed & sent an online chat message to the Hanford & Sons website.

Dont know how she sleeps at night. To my dismay, I get home and unwrap the print and it had scratches and dry splotches of some substance. 3. they (Jazz) have behaved abusively, and bullied her customers in her emails (you can check out the emails in this chat). Maybe you could collect an email list of all the artists (very hard work though) that are involved with the EAP and let them know how you have been treated. If we all report to the relevant bodies they will be investigated. It is horrible to hear that they took the money and the buyer hasnt heard from them since. No, neither had I. That is horrific! He took government funding to help the business during corona virus and put it straight in his pocket. And obviously im not alone ! I will share this information with my cooperation partners and ask if anyone knows more about it. I paid the fee and then all the interaction stopped.

Ever. People from all over the world have congratulated us the artists for the great new connection and getting to the next level on our careersand it turned out to be nothing. Its not right. I am loosing my patience and think I will cancel. Their capital really is only 1 British pound! The downloaded file is safe and does not contain viruses. Jazz is a vicious disgrace of a human being. Have you noticed that Hansford and Sons Instagram account has disappeared? He had damaged an artists work without their knowledge and told them he would keep it and sell it for them.

There is an admin fee for thisbut commissions and quantities of work that artists are told they can put up are apparently made up on a case by case basis, and it is almost impossible to find work unless an artists name is already known. The one thing that makes me feel dispirited is getting messages claiming to be interested in my work which turn out to be fake. I paid the fee for me being advertised on their website but this never happened. Not in LinkedIn or elsewhere what so ever. 4) what promotional work will be happening to promote my paintings and when? Their account is in Luxembourg. I feel like they have some real artists for sure but when it comes to new one who are abroad, they behave weirdly ! I can confirm jazz is a bully. I am self taught artist, if I can call myself this way. Ok Jaz. There is s good spirit of solidarity and Ive appreciated reading the comments and not feeling alone in having got caught up in this.

The EAP is really missing the point of the whole criticism that has been presented here and elsewhere. I think its so easy to let the negative overcome the positives that a lot of artists seem to be having. I want to thank everyone for speaking out here. Hello jazz. This feed has me now v anxious!! Their Instagram still exists and I write my experience there on each of the posted pictures. Official website of the comedian, television host, talking head, commentator, speaker, and word-haver. The telephone number on their website does not work and google brings up the number as a nuisance caller. I feel as if I am under investigation by the police! No email, no phone numbers, nothing. The picture they give about their business is far from what it actually is. Ive had all sorts of abuse and threats shes audio messaged me, she mentioned my children, vilified mocked and generally bullied me. Although I cancelled my subscription last year, they again (illegally) pulled the yearly payment via the credit card. Even when just asking them to put more artworks on there.

I hope you have a pleasant evening and at some point calm down and take a step back and realise this isnt how you treat customers. There are two sides to this group: a light facade with a dark background. None of the outcomes promised have been made, no exhibitions (online or physical), I cant even find any of my work let alone my artist profile on their website which seems to be HEAVILY SATURATED. Im not one for the Internet as you can probably tell but I just wanted to shed some positivity on this page. I told them to calm down as i am working.

Side note they have since requested a refund but to no avail. The owners are called Jazz and Lucian. I paid the money and from then on I couldnt reach anyone. Obviously someone from the Emerging artist platform-team. In my case they are also ignoring my emails. The people on the website dont have individual contact information, not even an email address. Jazz and lucien are money grabbers. But all the artists are listed on their pages and website and you can have a video call with them? Thats my question !!! I worked from my couch with no previous experience. I have made a sale, and of course never received the money. I wanted EAP to see that their plan is not working and that more and more people are complaining. Also, they stopped responding to my emails and messages and their chat is always offline. All of my emails bounced back. It seems to me there is something seriously wrong with this organization. At least it was not a lot of money to join, but is this how they make some of their money? The only way the both of the buyers managed to get their money back was by contacting their own bank and credit card company and asked them to cancel the payment. They did make my page but I never sold anything, I tried contacting them multiple times and they never replied. Source I work close by. But throughout, they held that they had a buyer until I had enough of waiting and had another exhibition coming up and decided to go pick up the print.
