How to Get into a Gallery
Julie Rico, www.weeneez.com
Finding the right gallery and getting a foot in the door. A primer from a gallerist's perspective by Julie Rico.
Let me start by stating that you are an artist and this is not a war between the dealer and you. The dealers are there to work with you. So please do not have an attitude when you speak to a dealer; even if they tell you bad things. More than likely, you will learn something from a dealer that may help you in some way. Really.
