Gallerette / How It Works
How it works

From a wall to a shared return.

The same six-step process runs beneath every collection and every experiment.

We compose

Artists, artworks, objects, stories, and a mission become a collection or experiment.

A space hosts

The work is installed in a participating location.

People encounter

Visitors discover the work in the course of everyday life.

They scan and collect

Placement cards connect visitors to the artist, the context, and purchase options.

Gallerette fulfills

Gallerette handles payment, production, shipping, and support.

Value circulates

Returns are shared among the artist, the host, and THEMMAADD.org.

For hosts

What arrives, and what's asked of you.

  • What you provideA wall, room, or passage — and basic details about the space
  • What arrivesFramed prints or objects, placement cards, and installation guidance
  • What you don't handlePayment processing, production, or shipping — Gallerette fulfills all of it
  • What you receiveA share of every eligible purchase made from your space
For artists

Work that travels, and returns something.

Artists contribute work to a collection or experiment and receive a direct share of every eligible sale — plus visibility in the spaces where their work is installed.

For collectors & visitors

Discover, then collect.

Encounter work in a physical Gallerette, scan the placement card beside it, read the artist's and the space's story, and — if it belongs with you — bring it home.

The shared-value model

One encounter. Three directions.

Artist

Supports the maker and their practice.

Host

Supports the place that makes discovery possible.

THEMMAADD.org

Supports digital entrepreneurship across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and their diasporas.

Thirds are calculated from net proceeds — after production, payment processing, fulfillment, and shipping costs, and before any applicable taxes. See the full methodology on the Mission page.
