Hello Reader,

Greetings and hello again:

Are You Gallery Ready? A Self-Evaluation Guide for Visual Artists

Getting into galleries remains one of the most powerful ways to advance your art career—but most artists unknowingly sabotage their chances before making their first submission.

I've spent years helping artists navigate the path to marketing their art, including assisting them to prepare for gallery representation. I consistently see the same critical mistakes derailing promising careers. That's why I've put together a comprehensive guide that reveals:

What gallery owners look for in submissions
The non-negotiable elements of a professional presentation
Common mistakes that instantly mark you as "not ready."
The preparation steps most artists completely overlook

This advice is not just theory—it is based on decades of experience, including working in several galleries and direct conversations with gallery owners about what makes them say "yes" to an artist.

Be well and take care. Peace out!

PS: Galleries often reject artists due to inadequate preparation. The same problems are usually the root causes of the struggle to sell their art independently. Find out if you're making common mistakes that could hold you back—take the free Gallery Readiness Quiz today.
