Galleries, Portfolios, and Web Pages
As artists it is important to know and have a good understanding of galleries. Galleries want to see that the artists is serious and self-disciplined because most collectors will watch an artists up to 5 years to see if they will stick around, and be a good investment. Artists should also be involved in the art world and show interest as well as support to their fellow artists. When wanting to present your work to the dealers it is best for beginners with large works to set up a portfolio of color prints, but should be of best quality. For paintings it is best to represent them in a notebook. This is better than using slides although have slides with you. Also maintaining a web page of your work is good for inquirers and an introduction to your work, as well as to follow where your exhibits may be. This chapter encourages to always be prepared and have your portfolio handy at all times.
