We've been working on something new — and we think your young artist is going to love it.
Introducing the Artkive Virtual Gallery: a private, museum-style digital gallery built to put your kids' art front and center. Picture a virtual room where each wall features one of your child's pieces, framed and lit like the work of a real artist. Now picture sharing that room with grandparents two time zones away, with one tap.
The Virtual Gallery is included free with every Artkive Box — our concierge service that turns piles of kids' artwork into a beautifully designed memory book, and now, an online gallery to match.
(New to Artkive? We're the team families have trusted to preserve children's art since 2012, with more than 500,000 keepsake books made and counting.)
A Fun New Way to Display Kids Art
So how does the Artkive Virtual Gallery actually work?
When you order an Artkive Box, we professionally photograph and digitize every piece of art you send — drawings, paintings, glittery collages, 3D sculptures, even hand-painted t-shirts. The moment you approve your memory book for print, your personal Virtual Gallery unlocks automatically.
You can:
View the gallery on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV.
Share a private link with grandparents, godparents, teachers, or friends.
Revisit it any time you want a quick burst of pride.

Why a Virtual Gallery Is the Best Way to Display Kids Art
Most families we work with come to us with the same problem: their child has created something wonderful, and there's nowhere to put it. The fridge fills up. The drawer fills up. The wall gets crowded. And the artwork that meant something starts to feel like one more thing to manage.
That's why we built our keepsake books in the first place — and it's why the Virtual Gallery felt like the natural next step. Physical memory books do something a screen can't. But a gallery does something a book can't: it puts every piece on display, all at once, in a setting designed to make your child feel celebrated.
When kids see their artwork treated like art, they create more of it. They take themselves seriously. They light up.
What You and Your Young Artist Will Love
Display kids art the moment it's digitized. No waiting for the book to arrive in the mail. The gallery is live as soon as your book is approved.
A simple way to share with family. One link sends grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends straight into your child's gallery. Perfect for long-distance relatives.
Confidence, on display. A gallery-style presentation tells your child their creativity matters — and that confidence carries into how they show up everywhere else.
A gift inside a gift. The Virtual Gallery is included free with every Artkive Box. Think of it as our way of saying thanks for trusting us with your kids art.
Want to Display Kids Art on the Wall, Too?
The Virtual Gallery is the digital companion to your physical keepsakes. Many families pair theirs with the Artkive Mosaic — a solid wood, gallery-framed wall piece that displays 9 or 25 of your child's artworks at once, professionally matted. Digital gallery for sharing, mosaic for the living room wall. Same artwork, two ways to celebrate it.
How to Share Your Kids Art Virtual Gallery with Family
Unlike social media posts or shared photo albums, the Virtual Gallery is designed specifically for kids artwork — framed, lit, and curated. Your child's art gets the special display It deserves for everyone to see and enjoy.
Whether you're preparing for the holidays, looking ahead to grandparents' visits, or simply tired of seeing your child's masterpieces buried in a kids art storage bin, the Virtual Gallery makes it easy to put what matters back on display.
