Galleries traditionally don't buy stuff. They put your work in their space and sell it for you then take a cut and give you the rest.

And yes, just like getting freelance you cart your shit around to venues until someone bites.

I'm sure it also couldn't hurt to involve yourself in any art community that is involved in the gallery scene. Get to know artists who show in galleries you want to get into and hopefully through them others that are involved in the scene.

No, no. You don't go from gallery to gallery. No respectable gallery accepts people just coming through the door. Do you think the curator sits on the front desk?

You build a reputation in the local art scene. Be based in a decent studio, get involved with artist-led initiatives, and network, network, network. And go to *every* gallery opening. It takes years to build a reputation.

If all you want to do is sell well rendered pictures then go to Sunday markets, and have affordable prints and maybe even images printed onto hats and purses etc.

I'm a co-director at a gallery.
