Every artist should be made the director of a gallery for a day to let the reality sink in.

This is VERY true. I was fortunate to have had that opportunity for several years, and it changed my approach to the gallery-artist relationship forever. Until artists see it first hand, it's impossible to calculate how much time and resources gallerists expend to nurture and expand a client base. Between the walk-ins, the snail mail, the third-party intros, and the electronic submissions, each query is lucky to receive 30 seconds. What I found even more difficult was the endless time outside of gallery hours spent socializing with potential clients, artists, and other art world professionals. It's literally 'round the clock.

There are literally galleries.. big name galleries that DO accept submissions (Eden, park west, etc).. like it literally says it on their websites.. I feel like this is just you trying to justify your gallery not accepting submissions which is completely fine if you don’t especially b/c as you said it’s small but don’t discourage people from going out and searching for galleries that do.. I have an entire list of galleries that do that I regularly update Let’s face facts most people aren’t going to get discovered sitting in their studios waiting for an opportunity to fall into their laps.. if that means you have to start out with vanity galleries and fairs or posting on social media and submitting to galleries that do accept submissions then build your portfolio and do it but make sure your art is a good fit for that gallery

The galleries you mention are, in fact, not big names in the art world. They focus on a more decorative and commercial niche of art-which is fine if that's what you are looking for. We always advise for success in the contemporary art world, and in that art world, there are no galleries accepting unsolicited submissions by artists. You're absolutely right that we don't want to sit around waiting for an invitation in the studio, and that is not the message of this video either. In fact, the upcoming videos in this series are all about getting seen by galleries, but in the best way possible. Not by frustrating galleries with emails, calls, and walk-ins, but by impressing them with other artistic and networking activities. Stay tuned!

Buncha dated gatekeepy nonsense. The truth is that most galleries don’t sell enough works to keep themselves in business, never mind support the careers of their artists. The gallery system is a cultural leftover that has little to no connection to the real art world. Jerry Gogosian and Magnus Resch had a great talk about how useless galleries are, worth a listen. Basically don’t submit to galleries because they don’t have the potential to change your life unless youre already an MBA from a famous school. Once you make it, then the galleries will come to you like hyenas to chew on your bones.

I totally agree. Why would someone willfully sign up to be exploited.

You still didn’t really say how… why is it that the non-creative people make all of the rules for creative people that they mostly don’t understand?

@contemporaryartissue 2 ай бұрын

As mentioned in the introduction, this was the first video of a series on getting gallery representation. Today, we discussed why not to submit to galleries, and in the upcoming videos, we will discuss how to enter galleries. This particular rule occurred naturally because there are simply too many submissions by artists-which is not the fault of the galleries of course.

@rohitmadashri7250 2 ай бұрын

To think that people who run galleries are uncreative smacks of arrogance. Designing a show, framing, lighting, handling publicity needs creativity. Creativity is not just pushing paint on a canvas, one needs to acknowledge the countless hours people behind the scenes help artists to make their work shine. Belittling their creative efforts is the worst form of ingratitude.

@isaacgarcia-lanzo4164 2 ай бұрын

@@rohitmadashri7250interesting… pushing paint on a canvas’ you say. Yet somehow it’s ingratitude for me and many others to question why everyone but artist make the rules. Great artist of the past have said worse. Basquiat called them mercenaries. And there is a known saying among gallery owners and curators ect.. “if only the artist didn’t exist but only the art did”. I say that at the very least artist should be part of the rule and decision making.

I ´d like to know how get a job in a gallery, like sales representative?

@contemporaryartissue 2 ай бұрын

Great question! I would not describe working in a gallery as being a sales representative as it is a lot more diverse. It starts with networking-getting to know the gallery and the people working there. Then, it's also about being qualified for the job in terms of experience and education. Have a great day!
