Should independent artists join an art gallery to represent their work?

The scene of the latest art practices is quite diverse compared to the old practices that involved artists being fully dependent on established art galleries for commercializing their artworks. Today, most independent BC artists opt to represent their work themselves and sell them. Although this could be quite an experience for the artist to establish their brand and business, getting represented by a gallery still proved to be an excellent and wise option, especially for emerging artists.
 
With the increased competition on the internet sphere, it is more beneficial for new artists to put effort into getting a shot at representing their work in an art gallery. But is it worth approaching an art gallery? Below are some reasons you would like to consider applying to an art gallery.

How does the gallery help the new artists?

Many artists might think the profit their work makes through an art gallery; most percentages go to the gallery commissions. It is not always true, and they mostly happen when artists in BC don't have a written legal contract with the gallery. You must know that art galleries come in many shapes and sizes. The galleries do more than just commercialize artists' work.

They put on group or solo shows for your work, do price appreciation and increase the possibility of an appearance in the museum collections. Through an art gallery, artists can access a broad range of loyal clientele, and your work gains the recognition it deserves. A gallery puts in a lot of effort to support its artists and increase publicity from exhibition representation.

It might not show, but art galleries involve many invisible activities for promoting artists and selling their works. If you are looking for opportunities to show your artwork, get in touch with Gallery 421 to promote your unique work.
