Any local galleries I’ve contacted have not respomded to my email inquiries – don’t want to send them images by email or cd if their not interested. Juried art shows the way to go? How do I find out about them? Any suggestions, clues, websites appreciated!
Hi,
Lets start by being realistic.
A gallery is a business, therefore its objective is to make money; the are exceptions of course but lets leave them aside.
Usually a gallery owner will represent that he/she thinks will sell and usually what sells is a painter with a good name on the market.
No, to have one works in a gallery either one should already have some curriculum, namely some participations on artshows and couple of exhibits.
Of course that having a particular and defined style and a good quality work is really important.
One needs to be aware of the quality of one’s work.
And finally but not the least, having the right connexions.
On this page of my website you’ll find some good resources :

Good luck.
Heavy Metal is an American science fiction and fantasy comics magazine, known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy/science fiction and erotica. In the mid-1970s, while publisher Leonard Mogel was in Paris to jump-start the French edition of National Lampoon, he discovered the French science-fantasy magazine Métal Hurlant which had debuted December 1974. The French title translates literally as “Howling Metal.”
When Mogel licensed the American version, he chose to rename it, and Heavy Metal began in the U.S. on April, 1977 as a glossy, full-color monthly. Initially, it displayed translations of graphic stories originally published in Métal Hurlant, including work by Enki Bilal, Jean Giraud (also known as Moebius), Phillippe Druillet, Milo Manara and Philippe Caza. The magazine later ran Stefano Tamburini and Tanino Liberatore’s ultra-violent RanXerox. Since the color pages had already been shot in France, the budget to reproduce them in the U.S. version was greatly reduced.
Heavy Metal’s high-quality artwork is notable. Work by international fine artists such as H.R. Giger has been featured on the covers of various issues. Terrance Lindall’s illustrated version of Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost appeared in the magazine in 1980 and is generally considered to be the greatest rendition of the poem done in the 20th century. Many stories were presented as long-running serials, such as those by Richard Corben and Matt Howarth. Illustrator Alex Ebel has contributed to this magazine over the course of his career.
Some critics feel Heavy Metal’s style and content is too violent and pornographic and argue for protectively banning its sale to minors.[citation needed] Despite such objections, the sale of Heavy Metal is not restricted to adults in the United States. The magazine is currently owned and published by Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Publication of the French magazine ceased in 1987. It resumed in July 2002 under the French name Métal Hurlant, edited by Les Humanoïdes Associés.
The founding editors of the American edition of Heavy Metal were Sean Kelly and Valerie Marchant. Art director and designer John Workman brought to the magazine a background of experience at DC Comics and other publishers.
After two years, Mogel felt the lack of text material was a drawback, and in 1979, he replaced Kelly and Marchant with Ted White, highly regarded in the science fiction field for revitalizing Amazing Stories and Fantastic between 1968 and 1978. White and Workman immediately set about revamping the look of Heavy Metal, incorporating more stories and strips by American artists. White’s main solution to the problem of adding substantive text material was a line-up of columns by four authorities in various aspects of popular culture: Lou Stathis wrote about rock music and Jay Kinney dug into underground comics, while Steve Brown reviewed new science fiction novels and Bhob Stewart explored visual media from fantasy films to animation and light shows.
In 1980, Julie Simmons-Lynch took over as editor, and her new slant on text material was the showcasing of non-fiction by well-known authors such as Robert Silverberg and Harlan Ellison. Later, a review section labeled “Dossier”, featuring short pieces by a variety of writers, was edited by Stathis and Brad Balfour. There were also interviews with such media figures as Roger Corman, Federico Fellini, John Sayles and John Waters. In 1986, Heavy Metal dropped back to a quarterly schedule, and then went bi-monthly in 1989. Simmons-Lynch remained the editor until 1991 when Kevin Eastman acquired the magazine and became both publisher and editor.
In 1981, an animated feature film was adapted from several of the magazine’s serials. Made on a budget of USD$9,300,000, under production for three years, Heavy Metal featured animated segments from several different animation houses with each doing a single story segment. Another house animated the frame story which tied all the disparate stories together. Like the magazine, the movie featured a great deal of nudity and graphic violence; however, not to the degree seen in the magazine. For example, in its Den segment, it did not display the blatant male genitalia of its print counterpart. The film featured such SCTV talents as John Candy, Eugene Levy, Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman. It did reasonably well in its theatrical release and later gained something of a cult status, partially because a problem with music rights resulted in a delay of many years before the film became available on video.

The opening of the new Hellenistic, Etruscan, and Roman galleries—an entire wing housing approximately 5,300 objects in more than 30,000 square feet—completes the reconstruction and reinstallation of the permanent galleries of Greek and Roman art. The newest galleries present Hellenistic art and its legacy alongside objects from Southern Italy and Etruria, forming the background to the story of Rome from the Late Republican period and the Golden Age of Augustus’s Principate to the conversion of Constantine the Great in A.D. 312. The centerpiece of the new installation is the Leon Levy and Shelby White Court, a dramatic, skylit space that links the various galleries and themes. Included are displays of the art of Magna Graecia and the world of the Etruscans, together with the stunning collection of Roman wall paintings that is unrivaled outside of Italy. The presentation of the art of the Late Hellenistic and Early Imperial periods is crowned by the newly reconstructed Cubiculum from the villa at Boscoreale near Pompeii and the Black Bedroom from Boscotrecase. In addition, on the mezzanine floor overlooking Fifth Avenue, there is a large display covering the entire cultural and chronological span of the department’s rich collection.
I’m a graduate award-winning designer who’s looking to get into the art gallery scene. Having a permanent exhibition in London has wet my appetite and I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on how I can establish myself as an artist who exhibits in galleries. I’ve heard of the saying "It’s not what you know, it’s who you know". How do you get the connections?
looking for open calls (calls for artwork from non-member artists) for galleries is a good start. talk to other artists. they will recommend which galleries to look at. do not be afraid to exhibit at places such as coffee houses or book stores that run art shows-it matters the work is being seen, not that it is being seen right up at the guggenheim. go to artist receptions and network with artists, patrons and gallery owners. have an internet presence featuring your artwork-visibility is always a good thing. be certain though to research shows and galleries-not all galleries are open to non-member artists and they may specifically shows one media or type of concept or genre.

The UK and in particular London is considered to be the art capital of Europe. I want to know what are the best galleries in the UK which specialise in contemporary realism.
Hi, how can I start selling my photography in art galleries and in the internet?
Online – your own web site, stock sites, personal porfolio sites such as red-bubble etc – it depends on what the shots are off.
Galleries – you need to approach galleries and see if they are interested in exhibiting your work.
you will normally have to pay for the space and pay the gallery a percentage.
If I wanted to start submitting my art work to galleries and museums, what would be the best way to go about that? How would I submit my work? What are some of the best ways to creat a portfolio? Any help on the subject would be wonderful, thanks.
All the art galleries have a submission process. Call and ask when their judgings are. Start at your smaller galleries- or you can have your own gallery opening. Rent out a small space and invite all of your friends and family. Set up a jazz band or something.
