THE POT

I know I keep stirring this pot, but if you want a solo show, you really have to make the effort to get one.  An Open Call for Proposals from a Gallery is what you should be looking for…and you know it.

Never presume that you know the value of a gallery or its exhibition space based upon its location or the generosity of the gallery’s submission process.  Do your homework on the gallery.  See if your work fits into the scope of the work the gallery seems to show.  Then send a well-crafted proposal.  You have nothing to lose, and rejection won’t kill you.  Here’s a great Call for Exhibition Proposals from the 1708 Gallery in Richmond, Virginia!
