Mmmm vs. Bleeeeech!
When you invite someone for dinner, have you noticed how after the first bite they always say, “Mmmmmm.” I’m suspicious. Not everyone is a Chef; I think people sometimes just want to be polite. Being polite is not always available to gallery owners and directors. They have to be honest with their opinions to protect their bottom line… This next Call is a chance to hear one gallery’s opinion about your work. Are you ready to HEAR it?
Check out this Call for Submissions for Portfolio Review & Artist Representation from the Agora Gallery in New York City! There is no fee to submit; however, there is DEFINITELY a fee to be represented. If it isn’t your cup of tea, consider it a little educational nugget…
* Editor’s Note: Why am I publishing this? Did you hear about the 4 year old that sold 3 paintings for $27,000? This is where she did it. The gallery owner fell in love with her work without knowing her age. That SAYS something whether you like the child’s work or not. It’s worth a look, I’d say…
CALL for SUBMISSION: Portfolio Review
Agora Gallery is currently engaged in a call for artists and portfolio submissions – we are interested in seeing your work.
Are you ready to move into the international market, and exhibit your work in one of the most significant centers of the art world? This may be the next natural stage for your career as a fine artist, whether you are building on the local success that you have already experienced or simply because your work does not fit into local venues and requires a much more sophisticated audience.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists
NOTIFICATION: Usually 2 to 4 weeks
MEDIA: Open to all media
DEADLINE: Ongoing
COSTS: No cost to submit your portfolio. However, options for representation start from $2950 which can be paid in six installments of $540 each. Renewal will be offered at the end of the first year at a reduced cost along with a profile in their bi-annual publication ARTisSpectrum Magazine at no additional cost. Please note that many of the artists that they represent renew their agreement after the first year. Read artists’ testimonials. *Editor’s note: I know that this is not realistic for MOST of you; however, sometimes we have to consider things outside our comfort zone. Just a thought.
