Tips for Securing an Art Gallery Display for Your Artwork, Part-1

If you are an artist and have a decent amount of experience in creating artwork or paintings, your next step would be to display your artwork in an art gallery. Collect a few of your favourite and exceptional artwork based on a theme. When you have decided on a theme, the next step would be to search for an art gallery that is known to display a similar kind of theme as yours. Though all of this looks simple, it isn’t as easy as it’s said and done. Thus Gallery Alchemy’s art exhibitions Sydney team and art exhibitions Melbourne team have put together tips for securing an art gallery display for your artwork in this blog.

Where to find new art galleries that are looking for new artists? Check out our website given at the bottom of the blog. Art galleries are actively seeking submissions from all levels of experience. Be it an upcoming artist or an established status, the sales generated by your artwork in a gallery can be transformative. Initially it would be a little difficult and not to mention weird to sell your work as an artist, but you would get the hang of it once you have gained 2 or 3 art gallery exhibitions. 

There are some prestigious art galleries that also put out an open call for artists. If this is your first exhibition, you may choose to display in a group exhibition along with other artists in the gallery. This will make you feel less nervous. Though our goal is to show you how to excel in art submissions and gain entry to the most prestigious art galleries that welcome new artists. The art exhibitions Canberra team says,” The most basic skill is to be backed up by a strong representation, necessary to sell your art. Your first objective should be to establish a connection with a gallery that will showcase your work and promote it to prospective buyers. To do this you have to be honest and ask yourself questions like

1. Where can I exhibit my realistic artwork?

2. What type of art is commonly represented by your representing gallery?

3. Have you become acquainted with the past and current exhibitions at your representing gallery?

4. Does your artwork match their themes, styles, and media?

5. Is your work ready for submission to your interested art galleries?

When you have answered each of these questions, you will know which gallery to approach and when is the right time.

Each art gallery is geared towards a specific type of clientele, just like all other businesses. Sometimes, high-end galleries may accept lesser-known artists. You may get a chance to display in such galleries, but you may not be paid enough. But don’t worry we are here to help. Keep reading the part 2 of this blog to gain more insights.
