Creating a real community art gallery

[Banksia]

Is there a method for creating a community art gallery where people in the town can put up their own pictures and artworks and sculptures? 

If this is possible could someone explain how I could do it. 

I find when I swop between houses the photographs and custom paintings turn into gray squares.  I would rather store such things communally.  Also I find lots harder to save when they have custom art work on them.

If you take a job as a painter or sculptor, through City Hall (self-employ), after some time the paintings or sculptures you create will show up in the art gallery that's the default in the town.

I'm not sure about the "grey square" problem other than asking if your graphics card/driver could be upgraded. I've not seen that happen before, save when just entering a lot (after I've overhauled the buildings/homes in the town with nicer interiors/decor). I suppose my card needs a bit of time to catch up.

Barring that I would assume the premise would be simply to create a community lot building and have a Sim visit and place the art from their inventory. Sculptures, you would have to use "testingcheatsenabled true" and shift-click the lot and select "build/buy on this lot" to allow access to family inventory, where the sculptures are stored.

Sorry, I know this probably isn't much help. Good luck, and a nice idea. If it's figured out I may have to try it

To store my art work, I have had my sim buy the local Museum/Gallery and place her art there, as well as the collections from travelling. Townies visit and she collects money from their visits.

You could also buy paintings and inventions at the consignment store, which are done by other sims in the town, and then place them on an owned lot.
