Reaching out to spaces

There isn’t a “magic bullet” for getting representation but if the gallery has never heard of you, there is no way they will pick you up.

RELATIONSHIPS

A majority of artists who are picked up by a gallery are introduced to the gallerist by one of the artists in their program.
