As a
professional artist you know the
importance of representation by a
well established gallery.
You may
also be aware that there are many
ways in which galleries function as
businesses. Galleries
work with artists in one of the
following three ways:
- Representation/Art Show -
Artists are required to pay a
representation fee $100 for an Art Show and a
40% commission
of the sales (for collective showing
events only) . Display
advertisements, press releases, post
cards, targeted client
presentations, personalized PR
efforts, online announcements,
participation in a collective
exhibition with an opening reception
and online representation on the
gallery websites. The gallery’s site
is one of the highest ranking art
websites on the Internet today.

artist a fee and provide a listing
announcing the
exhibition. For the most part, the
artist has the responsibility of
producing their own promotional
material and is often required to
participate by "sitting in the
gallery". Many of these galleries
also collect a commission up to 50%
from the sale of artwork. exposure
and promotion is often limited to
the listing, and little to no
online exposure is provided.

emerging and established artists
with representation. Galleries
working in this format provide a
range and degree of services. JimiArt
