Things Not To Do When Approaching A Gallery

Kesha Bruce has her own gallery space which she shares with another artist.
It seems that other than the up sides of having your own gallery space there are some downsides to, for example a lot of unsolicited mail from artist who haven’t done there research and think you are a commercial gallery that shows anything but your own work.

She put together a post about what not to do when approaching a gallery - which is certainly worth a read. (in fact I was quite shocked by the lack of thought some artist have displayed in sending emails. All you need to do, as Kesha says is put yourself in the gallery directors shoes - Is this the kind of mail you would want to receive - or not.

In case this has made you curious as to Kesha’s work, here is a sample
