The art world can be difficult to break into, due to the competition for limited spaces in gallery shows. Getting into a gallery is a great step toward selling your art and feeling more serious as an artist. Competition is fierce, but if you are able to make your work stand out and generate attention, you can get your art into the gallery of your dreams.Connect with fellow artists, and be supportive of their work. Some art galleries seeking new artists do not post calls for artist submissions, and the only way in is through a referral. This can come out of the blue from a fellow artist that admires your work, but it’s best to be proactive in networking with your colleagues. Take the time to build relationships so that other artists will want to help you out.
