The Truth About Art Galleries vs Self-Representation!

#artgallery #selfhelp #artbusiness Hi ladies and gentlemen, thanks for tuning in. Today's video is all about art galleries and the reason why you don't need gallery representation because the traditional art market is outdated. We explain why the old model doesn't work for artists anymore, offering crucial art business tips and strategies on how to sell art without relying on traditional art galleries. Intro 00:00 1. Gallery commissions 01:09 2. Problems with Galleries 02:05 3. Behind the times 05:05 4. Credibility 07:07 5. Marketing 09:45 Art galleries that represent you as an artist can take a lot of your money and leave you without control over your own creativity and freedom. They have an outdated business model and can be slow to change with the shifting habits of art buyers. So traditional bricks and mortar galleries are failing because artists and creatives can market themselves with great success by taking ownership of their creativity and direction. Once you realize that you are the one who has your best interests at heart, not a third party or gallery outlet, then you can begin to take ownership of your own art career and have the choice in which direction to take it. Sure, there is work to do when you ditch a gallery or agent and you should understand that you will then be doing the work that they were doing but for that you retain your income from every sale and not line the pockets of other people. I am very successful and I sell art. I don't have to rely on anyone nor do i need a resume a mile long of achievements and provenance. I have some very well educated art buyers as clients and those who really know they're stuff and they don't give a crap about anything except the artist and the art. They are as fed up with the establishment as I am. Galleries ignore this and think they are untouchable. They are not and things are changing very quickly. Own your destiny. You've got this !!
