If you are creative and extraordinary personality, a graduate art studio, for example, it does not mean that business is not for you. Of course, their job - it's routine, paying bills, negotiating with landlords, finding staff, summarizing the debit for a loan, and many others are very prosaic things. However, active person, have good entrepreneurial instincts and business flair can try yourself in Slizkov her in spirit to the business - to open a gallery. In fact galeristka can not do without the subtle taste, fashion sense, ie market and communication skills. Spend 90% of the time you will be the negotiations with artists, organizers, clients must be able to speak beautifully, convincingly, to sell a painting or any art object can only feel about your mood and tastes of the buyer. That is why all successful galeristka also a good psychologist. However, as you would not understand people, if your show outdated, and pictures of badly written, then you are unlikely to sell it would be possible. Therefore take up for sale is only the canvas in the demand for which you are sure. Here comes the second problem: how not to offend the talent once and for all. Creative people - a very vulnerable, insecure and touchy nature, and therefore the reasons for refusal in no degree should not touch the quality of work: there is no place you currently have on display the other topics, etc. Happy one - the simplicity and clarity of the requirements to the very place of exposure. Location - the most traveled by, then it is better not to save. And do not be afraid of competitors on affinity, in contrast, had come to make a purchase, always will drop in the new gallery. The room should be spacious, bright with big windows, well heated, with new wiring, modern security system. For this purpose, fits almost any large room: the former palace of culture, shop, shopping mall: a modern or even Soviet-built - is not important. Traditionally, the gallery - a narrow elongated space, if that is in your city is not, then do not worry, a couple of drywall partitions and consultation with designer will make your gallery itself art gallery! Is important to you the general area of ??the premises, the gallery can be opened in any spatial decision, regardless of three in her room or one. Large commercial premises are always in abundance in the property market, but often their quality leaves much to be desired. The most expensive items: once electrical and security can be resolved in favor of the offset lease payments. But you can save on repairs, and how! Just blanch the wall or seal in black and white wallpaper and paint coat - EVERYTHING! Will look very much artistically, add here yet concise, industrial steel tubes, and the seats covered with silverfish, and you have a very even fashion gallery of hi-tech style. Contemporary art will look into it more than organic, and classic - and advantageous contrast with the background of minimalist interiors. Gallery is ready, turn to its content. Many experts agree that the gallery is akin to a retail store, founded the purpose of which - to satisfy the needs of different customers. And you - do not specialize in one genre, exposes a large number of authors, and even if the bare Amazon riding a tiger riding bad taste seems to you, you should think ten times before denied. Believe me, and this picture will find its buyer. It is necessary to provide for zoning of the gallery on a permanent and changing: in the second part of the gallery, you can: make a photo exhibition, display crafts hendmeyd and style decoupage, painting on batik, do author exhibition of one artist, to surrender the premises in the sublease exhibitions of gems, jewelry, organize seasonal exhibitions down shawls, leather goods, wood, wicker furniture, utensils, knitwear and even make showrooms local designer clothes. Arrange exhibition and sale carnival masks, two weeks before the New Year, ask fellow artists to take part in it, advertise on the internet, hang announcement about art workshops or art school. As the holiday season - it's time for a painted leeks and handkerchiefs - ring master of batik! But we should not in a rush of excitement to invite to his show producers underwear, pajamas and underwear family - in this case there is no artistry, this is the markets and fairs, and you have a gallery! This kind of collateral earnings or income from other activities - to whom you want, helping to raise awareness of your gallery. Most exhibitions provide advertising venue at their own expense, and the clients who came for one, if not to look to you, in any case, remember that here in addition to exhibitions operates an art gallery on a permanent basis. And most importantly - make you feel more or less financially independent, and you can more freely choose picture for the formation of the exposure of its galleries. Important practical point: Many artists complain that prints to paintings and canvas are very expensive and give 50% of income Gallery - is sheer robbery. As we know, baguettes, which are decorated in a pattern rarely suited to the interior of the future habitat cloth, so it would be logical to offer the artists with whom you cooperate, to use more simple and cheap frames. In case of purchase patterns, customer will be able to order appropriate to it, of course, right in your gallery. Art show at the gallery - a great way to earn extra money and help people in the restoration of paintings and interior design. Need for this is not a lot of space and investment: computers, baguettes samples (frames), glass and designer. Incidentally, in the future, think about opening a shop for artists: a range of contemporary colors and materials simply limitless, ranging from classic oil paints and ending markers for painting ceramics and fabrics. Having spent nearly a year in this business, you will have a clear idea of ??what more needed: airbrushes and compressors, or paper and a palette knife, which manufacturers, in what quantities. Be sure to hang the announcement that you are taking orders for portraits, art photography, landscapes and other works of artists and photographers. Potential customers can view the portfolios of artists, in absentia, without offending human failure. It is therefore likely to order more from the gallery than the artist directly. Gallery - interesting, but expensive, the demand for works of art is difficult to predict and forecast what is true today in the world can not be accepted in the outback, this should be ready and tune in to a series of trial and error. A recipe for success - with patience, the gallery - not a grocery store, buying patterns, even rarer than cars, so stay afloat at first help related activities described above. Be consistent in your actions, and then your artistry will bring you not only moral but also financial reward!
