Several strategies will guide almost every artist’s successful search for gallery representation. The way to find an unpredictable representation is possible.

First, stay visible. 

• Be open to show your work (whether in collective shows or online)
• Be open to share information with the artists community,
• Attend art gallery openings,
• Learn about the galleries that surround you.

Second, remember that building a partnership with a gallery means collaboration.

• Be open to dialogue about your thoughts and ideas
• Gallerists have experience in realizing artists’ visions and selling work, and most of them are searching for artists open to advice and ready to develop concepts together.

Finally, be patient. 

• Keep in mind that there are lots of galleries out there, each of them has its own aesthetic and approach
• It may take time to find the right representation for you—but as with any great relationship, this one deserves the effort.
