Alternatives to the Gallery Scene – Locating New Markets

By Martha Zlatar, Art Business Consultant.

Worshop: September 15th
6.30 pm - 8.30 pm
Market Street Gallery Map
Mainstream art galleries are not the only way to sell you artwork. Actually most successful visual artists do not make most of their sales from galleries. Designed specifically for visual and spatial artists, this workshop will get you thinking outside of the gallery so you can find alternative spaces for your artwork. In this class you will learn:

• Is the gallery system right for you?
  
• Types of galleries: Non-profit vs Mainstream vs Edgy Cutting Edge
  
• Your goals will define your venue (exposure vs sales)
  
• Organizations in the city that take your art on tour (from hotels, to banks to building lobbies)
  
• The world of licensing
  
• Possible strategies for your art career
