1340Gallery 

1340Gallery is a fabulous platform for both new and established artists. Thank you for providing the opportunities to showcase our works with your magazine.

Great portfolio of artwork. Keep up the good work.

1340 contacted me after seeing my work on my social media pages. It's great to see that there are still people actively looking for good and new art. Working with them has been a great experience. I'm really happy to see my work in their gallery. It's an honor to be included in this pool of talent!

Very vibrant gallery and community. Everyone is so supportive of each other, especially the 1340 team. Aspiring artists get to boost each other up. I think that's pretty great that they've created this space for us.

I'm super concerned this is a scam. After I came down off cloud 9 of being recognized for a hobby I do for fun, I started thinking and did some research and man am I worried I just lost $30. I've been looking for a way to contact the magazine to discuss but there is no customer service number and I have no way to request a refund.
Looking for feedback and trying to determine how legit this is. I am hoping for the best but fear I'm just naïve and too trusting :(

My work was struggling a bit, to be completely honest. The creative side was never really a problem for me, but marketing myself to get my work exposed always stumped me. Grateful forever to have been contacted by 1340. They helped me where I couldn't help myself: in expanding my art's reach. My business has been growing in ways impossible with my own social network. All these artists working together is really great, especially for one's starting out like me.

Hi Guys, I tried to email you with some questions about selling my work in your gallery. Can you please check. Great website btw. Would be nice if my work would be visible amongst the other artists on there.

Very nice to see all these different artists from all over the world. Makes me a bit unsure about my work to be honest. keep up to good work team 1340gallery!

It has been great working with you. really nice to see my work in a gallery. lets sell!!!! Thank you again

Not many chances come up where I can really share and promote my work, so I was extra excited about working with 1340. Honestly, the results have been quite good for me. My engagement has increased, plus I got to contribute to a great community of creatives. Win-win that I'd take any day.

Took a while but finally, I was able to upload my work to the online gallery! Thank you for accepting me.

This is company is fraudulent!! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. I was approached by one of their ‘curators’ via Instagram who left a comment inviting me to submit my work. So I searched 1340 in my instagram, the official site has over 30,000 followers which is super appealing but look further people! There are over 50 Instagram account with the user name ‘1340sabrina’ or ‘1340steve’ , ‘1340hannah’ etc. ALL claiming to be curators at the magazine. This is the first warnings sign. Secondly the competition details are very vague , no indication of the dates of the so called ‘ judges panel’, no information on who is on the panel and no indication initiallly of the fee. A valid competition would have to outline these. There’s no public record of the ‘curators’ online on any platform , very unusual for such a ‘accomplished’ international magazine !

Having received the invite to submit you will receive a auto-gentrated e-mail that starts something like , ‘hey I have some good news regarding your submission from a few days ago...you’ve be preselected and are in the final round’ with a link to send them $30. LOG OUT HERE DO NOT SEND THEM CASH.

They claim to be a magazine who operate on a 75% advertisement rate but look at examples of old editions of the ‘magazine’ on their website ....not a single page allocated to advertisement , just a very asthetically pleasing collection of images and a professional looking website. No evidence of any regulation bodies accrediting the site , for example Better business burea have no record of 1340 as a legitimate company.

There is no way to see where this magazine is stocked other than by looking at their website , so you’ll have to take it at face value that it is ever printed anywhere.

Basically this is a fake company who has a good website , generated a a lot of Instagram followers but has no substance what so ever. They do not exist in a physical space nor is there’s anyway to authenticate their business. Plus any email you’ll receive from them will rather conviently be stamped with a 9 out of ten Trust Pilot rating placed in the ledger of the e-mail. If you look at all the positive reviews of 1340 on Trust Pilot you will see they all have the same tone, limited wording and vague statements from ‘ artist’ these reviews are more than likely generated by the company themselves in a bid to up its rating. They simply just don’t read like genuine reviews.

I asked for details of previous winners , who we’re they, could I be directed to their Instagram pages to check they really exist but the response I got politely dodged this and sent me links to their website to support all their invalid claims about legitimacy. Again another warning sign. Why isn’t there record of previous winners anywhere? Because there aren’t any !!!

Anyway as tempting as this may be don’t part with your precious artwork images or cash !

Flattering a starving artist who has had his drawings stolen once already then asking for money. What kind of "magazine" asks someone for an entry fee to be in their magazine. And what...if you don't pay they tell you too bad so sad, we don't care anyway were better than you, we don't need your art anyway...its messed up. I didn't know it cost 30 dollars to post a picture on Instagram. I must owe quite a bit by now. They have horrible customer service, what I experienced was not friendly but a hostile snooty attitude toward any of my concerns. Just google the art gallery, it's a straight up scam.

Great! Recommended!!!

total scam, they contact you on social media, to submit your work for printed version of their online magazine, after you submit 1 Photo, they email you, please spend 20$ for one picture or 30$ for 4 Picture of your artwork, after you paid, you never will see your works.

Total scam! fingers away!

google it & view the reviews of linkedin

spending money to have opportunity beein in a magazine is scam, not lottery, in the lottery you have a chance to win, on scam like this you just burn your money.

Attention! there are 100dred or thousands of these fake 1340etc Accounts, all the same, 1340xxxxx (x stays for the various names)
all of these accounts have the same 23 or 27 pictures. Do not trust anyone of them!

there is only one real 1340 magazine, and they will not contact you, especially not over insta with sending you a link to a unknown website, all red alert lamps should go on now!

help us artists and block them, spam them, whatever, just give them no opportunity to steal your money &/or Artworks!

SCAM

They contacted me through Instagram and I sent them a pic of my art. Then, they told me I was pre-selected and asked me to PAY (!!!!) $20 or $30 for REVIEWING my art again. Of course, it seemed suspicious so I did more research just to confirm they aren't trustworthy.
Whoever is doing this, should be ashamed of him/herself.

I was approached by this company on Instagram. They wanted me to submit an image for consideration for their magazine. Once they "review" your image they send you a message saying that you have been selected by the panel for possible consideration to be in the magazine. They prompt you to pay $30 fee so that they can "review" your submissions. I was very excited about this business that seemed to care so deeply about artists, so I even bought a magazine which is very steep at $30. Next they sent me a very disappointing email about how I did not make the cut for the magazine and if I wanted to submit images to display on their webpage with "no commission taken from the artist" that all I had to do is submit 3 images. I have not heard back from them at all in regard to these images. I posted on their instagram and they immediately removed me from their followers list. Preying upon artists is not in good karma and it will come back to haunt you all. Mark my words.

This company does not exists - it's a scam messaging.
