Makers & Creative Artists Workshop | Gallery Representation: Dos, Don’ts and Is It For You Anyway?
Art galleries offer exciting opportunities to artists, from visibility to promotion, credibility and access to collectors. However, gallery representation is not for everyone, and it requires intentionality, focus and clear expectations. In this session, Daria Loi, Founder and Director of Imperfecta Gallery, will share perspectives on how to join a gallery and how to thrive through a healthy gallerist-artist relationship. This interactive, informal workshop will equip attendees with tips to identify whether gallery representation is for them, how to approach galleries, and how to ensure their relationship with gallerists brings mutual benefits and opportunities to grow and shine.
