I could say more about the art world, but I think this is getting too long. Did you know galleries take anywhere from 40% to 70% of the sale price? That is much easier and also much more beneficial for a hobbyist. You might decide to sell your own art works online. You might join international competitions for exposure and also experience.

They might provide you with their own pool of clientele. There *are* venues available, but you'll need to fork out some money for that. Now, as for what you can do you can find venues to exhibit on your own. I'm saying it's difficult to get into a gallery because the odds are against you.

Which of us has the higher likelihood of getting into a gallery.? I also dedicate a whole chunk of my time to marketing myself and networking. I make art on a regular basis and have more practice because my livelihood depends on this.

Galleries need to earn a living too, so they need to be able to anticipate that your works will sell.Īlso know that you are up against big names in the art world, and that there are other full time artists that want to reach that fame too. It's about getting to know the right people to like the works you're currently making. You might be an amazing artist, but if you're doing watercolors and most of their clients buy oil paintings, your chances of them choosing you is greatly reduced. You'll need to be creating something that is aligned with their views and goals, and with their current pool of clientele. And each gallery will only accept a certain number of artists to represent each year. You also need to know how most galleries work- they usually represent certain artists and have contracts with them. Having things like a website and a namecard will greatly help. You're going to need a pretty decent portfolio and body of work first before approaching any galleries.
