I am seeking stories, comments and advice from those who have had their work exhibited in galleries. I am looking to hear the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between. The reason I am requesting this information is because I am in the early stages of opening my own gallery and want to hear from those who have first-hand experience of dealing with galleries. I would also appreciate any comments and advice from those who have not exhibited in a gallery, providing information on what they would like or expect from a gallery for research purposes. Any advice would be appreciated and you never know; you may have an exhibition in my gallery! Thank you for reading and look forward to hearing your stories!
What I would be looking for in a gallery is an outfit that would do most of the work for me to justify its commission fees - advertising, display, hanging. A gallery that just rents you wall space and then does nothing else is a waste of time and money.
