How do I get my canvas paintings up in a gallery?
I have two paintings that I made of Johnny Depp characters. One of Willy Wonka and one of Edward Scissorhands. (30″ by 24″ for sale – $200) I was just wondering recently how I might get my art displayed in a gallery. I have more Johnny Depp paintings in the making. One of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and one of Jack Sparrow : ) I think the four of them would be a great addition in a gallery because everyone loves Johnny Depp and it would generate a lot of attention for walk throughs. I just need to know how to get my work in a gallery. Any ideas/thoughts?
Here are some ideas:
1. Tell everyone you know that you want to exhibit in an art gallery and ask them to introduce you and/or recommend you and your work to the gallery owner.
2. Send emails with photos of your work to galleries in your area.
3. Take your paintings and go in person to galleries until you find the right one for your work.
4. Be sure to sign a contract – galleries take a high percentage of the sale price, so you have to negotiate in order to get the amount you expect.
5. Never give up on your ideas or dreams!
