Prepare the work.

Keep a clean master

Keep your original high-resolution output and any files needed to reproduce it. Choose a clear title and a stable identity for each work. Use the creator upload instructions for the currently supported formats and limits.

A small web image is not automatically suitable for a T-shirt or a wall-sized print. Keep display derivatives and proposed production files separate, and do not upscale a file and describe it as an independently verified print master.

Make the process clear

Supply the creator name, AI tool or workflow, named inspirations, and the technique or visual effect. Describe what you actually did, including meaningful editing or compositing.

AI-created by Mark Nicoll. Inspired by Gustav Klimt. Palette-knife impasto effect with gold ornament.

This is the form of label used for the founding collection. “Inspired by” does not mean made by, endorsed by or authorised by the named artist. A simulated technique remains an effect unless there is a real physical original.

Bring the permissions with it

Confirm the right to display the work and identify any reference images, source assets, likenesses, brands or other contributions that may need permission. Public availability and attribution alone do not establish reuse rights.

Keep permission evidence available for review. Do not claim permission you cannot substantiate. Commercial rights for apparel, prints and digital display licences are separate from gallery display permission.

TAG does not certify that every AI output is exclusively protected by copyright. Tool terms and the rights in source materials still matter. Raise uncertainties before submitting an offer.

Write for someone who has never met you

Your biography should explain your interest and approach, not invent qualifications. For the exhibition, explain the starting idea, why these pieces belong together and what you hope people notice.

For each artwork, add a useful description and concise alternative text. Describe the subject, composition, colour and visible details. Avoid stuffing alt text with promotional phrases or repeating only the title.

Process notes can describe prompting style without publishing private prompts, personal details or confidential reference material.

Give Ellis a script worth reading

Upload a Markdown script with a brief opening and a stop for each selected artwork. Introduce Ellis once. Keep the narration under five active minutes and leave room for visitors to pause.

Scripts are reviewed for accuracy, suitability and profanity before generation, then the audio is reviewed before publication. Ellis is a fictional AI narrator, not a live art expert speaking to each visitor.

Respect people and their work

Do not submit unlawful material, harassment, impersonation or private personal information without an appropriate basis. Flag sensitive subjects for review. If a public artwork raises a concern, use Contact & reporting.
