Gallery Owner Reveals How to Get Your Art Into a Gallery (Without Cold Calling)
Want to get your art into a gallery? Stop cold calling, stop mass emailing, and stop walking in with your portfolio. I've been on the other side of the gallery desk for over 20 years, and in this video I'll show you what actually works. Galleries don't say yes to strangers. They say yes to artists they already know. In fact, when Artsy asked 886 gallery professionals how they discover new artists, the top answer was through other artists (51%), followed by Instagram (44%). Both of those doors are in your hands. I call it the Gallery Trust Triangle: ๐บ RESEARCH: find the right gallery, and follow the rules they post ๐บ RELATIONSHIP: get known before you ask, with warm introductions and first visits ๐บ RESPECT: send less, follow up once, and protect the bridge โญ At the center: by the time you ask, they already know your name

Why Most Artists Are Afraid to Raise Their Prices (And Why You Shouldn't Be)
Your prices should grow with your career. But for most artists, the price tag hasn't moved in years, because they're afraid collectors will walk away. In this video I'll show you exactly when to raise your art prices, how much to raise them, and how to tell your collectors so they stay with you. Done right, a price increase can even make your collectors happier. I call it the Price Growth Triangle: ๐บ WHEN: read the signals and raise 10 to 20 percent at a time ๐บ WHERE: one price everywhere your work is sold ๐บ WHO: who hears first, your galleries and then your collectors โญ At the center, YOUR VALUE: the confidence and experience behind every price You'll also get three quick exercises: count your signals, reprice three pieces, and plan your announcement. There's also a simple early-access email you can copy. ๐จ JOIN THE ART NXT LEVEL PROGRAM Get step-by-step art business courses, a weekly live Q&A with me, a community of artists, and real opportunities to exhibit with 33 Contemporary Gall...
