I want to find the more serious artists for my service who thought of expanding into the local or high end gallery scene to further their careers and develop a name for themselves. I’ve attended many such consultations in New York City that helped me be a part of 25 exhibits there plus numerous shows in Philadelphia and local galleries. I’ve given over 200 seminars in the past eight years in 10 counties. Many artists I’ve worked with have had success in being selected by galleries and consignment spaces. I teach artists to network, research, prospect galleries and strong art organizations to gain connections and contacts. This service is designed to apply to ALL types of visual art.
The consultation is 3 hours. The cost is $350.00 and this includes not only a wealth of information but also many printed Career Coaching materials. After the initial consult, I stay in touch with the artist and continue coaching through answering questions, reviewing materials and sharing information. Unlike some reps, I take no commission from any work sold.
