Exhibiting your art is one of the most exciting and important aspects of a working artist's life. 

For many artists, the validation and exposure of working with a gallery is something they dream of and is often seen as the pinnacle of their artistic success. 

 

But is this realistic?

How does the gallery world work?

 

There are many ways that you can exhibit your work and whether you choose a gallery or plan to only exhibit your own work, understanding gallery representation will help you find your best fit, plan ahead and make the best smart moves for your art and business.
