GALLERIES

Most artists dream of seeing their work in a gallery. It’s the equivalent of “making it” in the art world. That dream can be closer than you realize. The majority of galleries are actually quite approachable and open to new artists. Though there will always be a few austere establishments manned by snooty clerks, most are friendly places where people come to browse and chat with the gallery staff.

So don’t let galleries intimidate you. The majority of gallery curators will be happy to take a look at your work if you make an appointment or mail your slides to them. If they feel your artwork doesn’t fit their gallery, most will steer you toward a more appropriate one.

A few guidelines

• Never walk into a gallery without an appointment expecting to show your work to the director. When we ask gallery directors about their pet peeves, they always mention the talented newcomer walking into the gallery with paintings in hand. Most galleries prefer or even require electronic submissions. (Refer to the listings for more specific information on each gallery’s preferred submission method.) Following the gallery’s guidelines, send a polished package of about eight to twelve images, either by e-mail or on disk. If you prefer to work with slides and the gallery will accept them, send neatly labeled, mounted duplicate slides of your work in plastic slide sheets. Do not send original slides, as you will need them to reproduce later. Send an SASE, but realize your packet may not be returned.

• Seek out galleries that show the type of work you create. Most galleries have a specific “slant” or mission. A gallery that shows only abstract works will not be interested in your realistic portraits.

• Visit as many galleries as you can. Browse for a while and see what type of work they sell. Do you like the work? Is it similar to yours in quality and style? What about the staff? Are they friendly and professional? Do they seem to know about the artists the gallery represents? Do they have convenient hours? If you’re interested in a gallery outside your city and you can’t manage a personal visit before you submit, read the listing carefully to make sure you understand what type of work is shown there. Check out the gallery’s website to get a feel for what the space is like, or ask a friend or relative who lives in that city to check out the gallery for you.

• Attend openings. You’ll have a chance to network and observe how the best galleries promote their artists. Sign each gallery’s guest book or ask to be placed on galleries’ mailing lists. That’s also a good way to make sure the gallery sends out professional mailings to prospective collectors.

Showing in multiple galleries

Most successful artists show in several galleries. Once you’ve achieved representation on a local level, you might be ready to broaden your scope by querying galleries in other cities. You may decide to be a “regional” artist and concentrate on galleries in surrounding states. Some artists like to have East Coast and West Coast representation.

If you plan to sell work from your studio, or from a website or other galleries, be up front with each gallery that shows your work. Negotiate commission arrangements that will be fair to you and all involved.

Pricing your fine art

A common question of beginning artists is, “What do I charge for my paintings?” There are no hard and fast rules. The better known you become, the more collectors will pay for your work. Though you should never underprice your work, you must take into consideration what people are willing to pay. Also keep in mind that you must charge the same amount for a painting sold in a gallery as you would for work sold from your studio.

Juried shows, competitions, and other outlets

It may take months, maybe years, before you find a gallery to represent you. But don’t worry; there are plenty of other venues in which to show your work. Get involved with your local art community. Attend openings and read the arts section of your local paper. You’ll see there are hundreds of opportunities.

Enter group shows and competitions every chance you get. Go to the art department of your local library and check out the bulletin board, then ask the librarian to direct you to magazines that list “calls to artists” and other opportunities to exhibit your work. Subscribe to the Art Deadlines List, available online (www.artdeadlineslist.com). Join a co-op gallery and show your work in a space run by artists for artists.

Another opportunity to show your work is through local restaurants and retail shops that exhibit the work of local artists. Ask the managers how you can get your art on their walls. Become an active member in an arts group. It’s important to get to know your fellow artists. And since art groups often mount exhibitions of their members’ work, you’ll have a way to show your work until you find a gallery to represent you.

The museum’s building, designed by noted architect Richard Meier, opened to worldwide acclaim in 1983 and has received many design awards, including 1991 citation from the American Institute of Architects as one of the “ten best works of American architecture of the 1980s.” Meier’s 135,000-sq.-ft. facility tripled the museum’s space, enabling the institution to mount more comprehensive displays of its collections. In 2003, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the building, the High unveiled enhancements to its galleries and interior, and a new chronological installation of its permanent collection. Three new buildings, designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, more than double the museum’s size to 312,000 sq. ft. This allows the High to display more of its growing collection, increase educational and exhibition programs, and offer new visitor amenities to address the needs of larger and more diverse audiences. The expansion strengthens the High’s role as the premier art museum in the Southeast and allows the museum to better serve its growing audiences in Atlanta and from around the world.
