Laurel Sternberg replied to Marty Coleman's discussion 'Featured Artist Knowledge'"Thanks for the explanation; that makes sense. I guess I've never felt that way, so I couldn't imagine what it meant.
What I find a challenge is balancing the desire for helpful crit from other artists against standing firm for my own…"
Marty Coleman replied to Marty Coleman's discussion 'Featured Artist Knowledge'"Hi Laurel, Thanks for asking.

- I would be wary of a gallery that charges you money to represent them. It's not something to reject outright, but it could be playing on your vanity, getting representation in NYC, a show, etc. But you have to look at the bottom line costs, the reputation (do art magazines and blogs review anything from that gallery for example). You also can contact artists who have shown there, see what they have to say. The 30% doesn't sound too bad for a gallery, but you have to judge what you can sell your work for and who you would be selling to. Lots to consider!
Have you had any luck in San Diego or LA finding a gallery?

Sandi Carpenter said… - i live in Carlsbad right now. I am new to artist2artist and figure all artists can use all the networking they can! I was just offered representation in NY but am still thinking about it. They want 3k upfront, for which you get 3 week exhibit (only) and then on their website for a year. Although it's in Chelsea, it still seems like a lot, plus they get 30%. It's not easy out there for us artists, especially these days.
