I'm looking for a gallery to exhibit my art? |
http://lioneldenise.deviantart.com... You should look at galleries around you - some would gladly accept your artwork. Where I live - Upstate New York - there's a few that love to feature local artists. Bakery's, coffee shops, book stores, and banks, even will sometimes post a painting or drawing on the wall for sale. Good luck! Where I live, we have an "art trail" - local artists all get together and organise putting their art in public places (pubs do it here) or open their own front doors to the public. It's very successful, so if you know of other artists, you might be on to something. I've exhibited in galleries across the USA from New York City to Los Angeles over the years. Just play the odds. Take stuff to all the galleries you can travel to, and send portfolios to those further away. Since you do some work on paper, you can send some originals. Most galleries will say "no" (or "non" in your case) but some will not. It is very difficult to get any gallery to exhibit your work unless you know the owner or have some other connection. And I hate to say it, but your work needs work! Galleries usually only take the work of well know artists who consistently sell paintings and other works for large sums of money. Try entering local art fairs and other things along that line and improve your technique. It's sloppy. Artist who has sold a fair amount of work. Connections do help, but passion and persistence can make up for the lack of it. Ofcourse, staying on top of your art too will make a big difference. I like the untitled abstract, althought I'm not so sure about the others. Please keep at it, and start showing your portfolio to coffee shops, restaurants or any local hangouts that support budding artists like yourself. Attend exhibits and network with curators. Continue improving your art and keeping inspired and passionate. When you've make the rounds of the local spots, and you feel more confident about your art, then by all means send out samples, portfolio and even do walk ins to show your art to galleries (there are so many in hollywood, beverly center area, and laguna beach area). Best of luck and never count the nays and closed doors. You can load 4 free images at www.absolutearts.com along with an artist statement. if you want to upgrade, you can pay $36 a year and have 40 images. You can load up to 20 images for free on the internet site: www.artfaceoff.com You can load at least 8 images for free on this site out of the United Kingdom: http://www.saatchigallery.com/yourgaller... free is good. Then you have to send the links to the galleries you are interested in. They don't usually just stumble over your art, unfortunately. |
