How my art at galleries in northern New Mexico?
I am a contemporary Latin artists. I'm about an hour and a half from New Galleries Mexico, I'd love to show in, like Taos or Santa Fe I am a self taught artist, outsider. I need more exposure than e-bay. Any suggestions?
You will have to make appointments with each gallery to show their work in person. Better than a lot of it, too. If your work is too great to put everything in physics, using slides or high quality digital photographs. [Penydred then, of course, true that it should only be your best work. They'e are not interested in how it has developed or improved over the years, or how it has changed his style --- want to know if you can offer NOW a consistent product. And put to their strongest first pieces in the repertoire. These people are accustomed to seeing at work, and decide quickly if they want take a chance on your own or not. They might decide after the first two or three pieces. But you have to have a lot of work available, because if they do take their labor will not have a single piece. It's hard to sell a new artist's work if customers can not see many examples of artist's work.] It would also be a good idea to visit each gallery before an appointment. If your work does not resemble what fits into a particular gallery, or if it looks very similar to one of the current artists work cases, spend now and concentrate on others. PS — unless you are the luckiest of the artist on the planet, and his work is accepted by the great gallery first take your job, you will find a rejection. Do not take it personally. Galleries are businesses. Their criteria for selection is not "How good is your work? "as much as" I can sell? "and that you know who your customers are and what is sold there. Most of them have inventory coming out the ears already, and the decision to take even more must be made with sales potential in mind. If you receive any constructive criticism, again, do not take — Personally, but I take it seriously. I have some of the best criticism for one of my first rejection (coincidentally, a gallery in Santa Fe: D), and providing attention to it, I was finally able to enter a gallery in New York instead. Anyway, most of us have to wade through a lot of n for get to yes. Do not be discouraged, and good luck.
