SELLING ART IN A GALLERY IS AMAZING BUT HOW DO YOU GET ART GALLERY REPRESENTATION? 

I actually have my first gallery show in Belleville next week, so excited!

I'm getting serious about making a career as an artist and it's extremely intimidating, but your videos have been putting me at ease and helping me find my confidence

I love that you recognize that you took on too much work between the galleries and your commissions. You seem incredibly driven to succeed. There is no way I could be comfortable doing these vids---horrible social anxiety disorder for me! Love watching your RU-vid vids and all the content. Bravo!

I just got my FIRST piece into a group show! Thank you for all of your invaluable info, this is a completely new world to me.

Lori, thank you for being so open and informative!

Thank you so much, Lori, I love your art, personality and videos! 💜

Thank you for a great insight into the world of entering galleries, doing shows and how to get started selling your work. Very informative and to the point in your charming way!

Thanks Lori. I so appreciate your honest assessment and willingness to share. I always look forward to your videos no matter the topic!

Thank you... I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. I'm a new(ish) artist myself, and I'm wanting to go full time as well. Working on solidifying my body of work currently... Hoping for the best!

Out of all the art channels I subscribe to, you always provide SO much more valuable and important information. Thanks Lori !!!!!

This was so helpful Lori. I learned some things. I also have watched your videos and enjoy them a lot. Thank you for your openess and willingness to share from your vast knowledge and heart

You are awesome!!! Love, love, love this video! Thank you for the great information. And thank you for being so real.

Thanks so much....again, Lori. 🙏 One thing you said on one of your previous videos was how important it is to have a “body of work.” So I’ve been saying to myself over and over “body of work, body of work, body of work, and I’ve been busy creating, painting, a lot , (I’m drawn to abstract but I like traditional & contemporary too...lots of floral and nature and portraits,) getting supplies to paint more, getting into a groove, still finding my way, but I’m beginning to feel more confident that I can one day do well in selling my art. I have a website that I have just let “wither on the vine,” so that’s where I’m gonna start and put my art there and also rename the site in my name. In the meantime, I’m getting ready to submit my digital work to a site that I use for vector graphics myself. They invite “contributors” so why not. I look at the stuff that’s there and think “I can do that.” There’s some technical things I have to work out, but they can assist with that ( like format, size and resolution.) This is a good way for me to begin to get some discipline about just submitting my work to a business and there’s not a lot of risk. If they don’t take it, they’ll surely tell me why and I can give them what they need or move on. If they do take it, I may get some pocket change when someone uses my designs. I will also be checking out some local easy shows and fairs that might be a good entry point for me to get my feet wet in shows & sales. Thanks again. You may never know how much the wisdom you pass on may really help someone in their art journey, but you can be assured, it will.👍🎨😄🙏

Love your golden nuggets of information. Thank you Lori!

Lori, thank you so much for valuable info. And also important, for being so real and vulnerable in your vids. I feel strangely like I’ve made a connection, even tho you have no idea about me.

Another great and informative video Lori. It’s so great to gain more insight into this whole process and the business side of things! 👍👌👏

You are very authentic in your approach when talking about what works and what doesn't work. I like it. :)

Valuable information from someone who lives it! There is such a mind field of, do it this way or that. Thank you so much Lori.

Hi Lori, I love your videos, so helpful and honest, and I love how you just seem to want the best for us other artists! I quit my job a year ago and have been working flat out ever since to try to make art a viable career. My next step it's to go and visit some galleries and see if I can get representation. Wish me luck! X

Thanks for this! Again, great info. Love the colour in your hair at the end of the video! Très artistique!😊

Wonderful advice!! Love the painting in the background! Thank you 😊❤

This was a really informative video, thank you so much. As someone in their 50's just starting their body of work, it helps de-mystify the process. Its also great to go to shows and see lots of mature artists. Many are established of course, but there were also lots who were only a year or two into their journey. "It's never too late to become what you might have been." I love that quote!

So much information in this 👍❤ Thank you.

Thank you for the information! You are doing a great job with these videos! Keep it up!!!

Thank you for sharing so much!

Thank you for this info. I've been wavering about re-applying to a popular event in Mass...mixed feelings about what it means to do an art fair, (I've never done one). This reminds me about the important things: showing the work, connecting with other artists, exposure to gallery owners...I have resisted the idea of 'sellable' art like the punk that I am. However, as time goes by and I begin to sell some things, I have to admit - to sell work to someone (not a family/friend) is, regardless of how idealistic I tend to be, an affirmation. I don't want to just make my work in a closet of me. I want it to be enjoyed in the world. (and I want to be able to support the habit).

My goal is to purchase a piece when I return to Canada! I admire your work, your sense of humour and your insightful, important information you share with us all.

thank you I'm applying for a gallery show two years out I love your videos you do a GR8 job

Thank you for sharing. I always learn so much listening to you. I’m looking to grow my own art business. Your willingness to give back is appreciated.

This is such good information!!! This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

I appreciate all this advise. I take notes for how to do things right. Thank you so much.

I like the way you explained the whole gallery/art show thing!! Although it’s hard to part with commission $, if your work isn’t “seen” by potential buyers, you’re not going to sell much. I think at the beginning of our art careers we tend to be a bit attached to our work on a personal level. I know that I still like to know my buyers, but it IS a business. I imagine that once you’ve got a big enough body of work, you’ll get that out of your system! Love your tips and insight-thank you!!

Hi Lori, another great video, I really appreciate all the knowledge you are willing to share. Thanks so much.

Great tips and insight to the artist journey thanks for sharing

You are really well spoken. Very easy to understand. Lots of helpful hints. Thank you

Very informative video- I didn't have a clue about a lot of stuff you talked about in relation to galleries. I am just not there yet. But so much useful information!! I am so pleased to find someone wiling to talk about the business aspects of selling art- either on line or in a gallery- because it can be frustrating starting to sell and honestly not having a clue---because all we want to do is make enough to buy more to make more!! LOL

Your info is God sent , thank you so much Lori !

Thank you for taking the time to help artists

Thank you. I am so happy to listen to your advice

I love that painting behind you!

Thanks for the info--especially "5-10 of each style work to show consistency."

I love this ❤️ 😊😊❤

That was really really interesting and helpful and as always enjoyable to listen to you 😍. Thanks Lori

Your videos are always so helpful and informative, and this one was no exception! I'm just starting out as an artist, and today I submitted my first ever application for a juried show, so this vid was very relevant to my current hopes and plans. Thank you!

Great video, been to a few art shows over the years and their a great place to meet and correspond with other artists, potential customers etc...I even participated in the T.O.A Toronto Outdoor Exhibition back in 1987. That was an amazing experience and I have always wanted to participate again. But I never go to get noticed by Galleries, I have never liked galleries and how they do business. That is my thoughts and opinion only, I never judge or persuade anyone to go against their visions and dreams.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for making these videos . I am sharing them with my daughter who is taking fine art at the U of L. She finds them invaluable. This is stuff they don't teach, but really should.

Thank you again. So important to understand.

loooove!!

Great information. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your tips and experiences! I’ve been watching a lot of RU-vid vids like this as I also aspire to be a gallery artist someday. And I found your video to be very helpful and more relatable for a starting painter like myself. ❤ I hope I can come back to your video in a couple of years to update you that I am represented by my target local gallery already. 😉

I’m an artist in Edmonton, and my pieces aren’t really cohesive, as I use such a variety of mediums, styles, etc. I have watched many of your videos, and so appreciate your generosity to help us out!! Thanks so much, really appreciate your knowledge🙏🏻💕❣️

Thank you, again for good advise. And now I could get a glimse of the painting behind you :))

Thank you!

Thanks Lori, great feedback.

Thank You Lots and lots to think about.

Great tips here. Thank you. 😊

Great Information. Even I am a Hobby painter and 73 years old. Don,t See myself in a Galerie. But I Love you onnesty and clear Talk.

Thank you Lori awesome vid👐

your videoes and info are great .Thank you for inspiration and practical info on starting an art career.

I love your content, love your energy!

I have my first exhibition in February 15th in Kolkata. Also thank you for sharing these information.

Would love to see a video topic on how you juggle family and being able to create 12 hours a day? I'm an artist, as well, and find it very difficult juggling a full time job, family, and creating my art to be able to turn that into my full time job.Thank you for your posts. They make a difference.

Love your video contents. Doesn't matter what it is, always something to learn...very informative and right to the point. Thank you 🙂🎨

Wow, such valuable information! Thank you!

I’m so f$&ing glad I found you! You are my spirit animal now

I made it! These are such great tips. Thank you!

Just throwing out there that you might have a local art house or artist coalition who *do* offer classes/workshops on art business topics. It probably varies from location to location but if you're not looking you're not going to find it. Here in the Kansas City Metro we have the KCAC (Kansas City Artists Coalition) who have been offering workshops online for members. It's a valuable tool!

Good info Lori... thanks

Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It is very helpful!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you again your videos are so useful!!

I really, really liked this video!

This is awesome and just gave me my next plan! Thank you!

Thank you very much for all the information Lori. I myself joined Art associations and we have group exhibitions at the galleries, that’s where I sold my paintings in the past. Here in Finland we have to rent the galleries to show.

Ufff I can't stop looking your canvas painting videos, you have a huuuge, very big talent, that a cant stop looking!!! Greetings from chile!! 🇨🇱

Valuable advice. Thanx. Munch apreciated 🙏💛

Thanks again for making useful content!

thank you so much for your advice you are awesome!!

Great insight into the workings of the game. Thank you.

Hahahahhaha i loved the peacock part 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks Lori. Your vids always make sense. I am just starting out so all this really helps.

Good video, great info. And entertaining. Thanks

Awesome insights thanks again Ricky 💃🏼🕺🏼🐈‍⬛💋😎

My grandma friend has art all over Charlotte nc, she seen me and offered me yesterday that she will talk to the women in the art gallery to put my work up. I just need to have 5 paintings by this week. IM SCARED. this video helped a lot with thinking. Thank you so much :,)

Hey Lori! Thanks for this video, it was super helpful!

Great information! I sell a lot from home ,but I haven't done art shows .

You have good work 👍👍

I have my first outing with my paintings on Wednesday eve this week so I'm super nervous but excited at the same time

This is so helpful! I love it. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this valuable information, you’re very generous and funny 😆💖✨

Great info! Thank you 😊

HAHAH - You're nicer to watch than some actors - because you're not pretending! Thanks for keeping it real.

thanks so much - that was very helpful!

Thank you for all of your wisdom.. I've recently been working on drilling down my color palate to have a cohesive look & this was helpful. I'm not sure of pricing & I struggle with will people like it or the ones who are very vocal who don't.

Love your art and your videos Lori. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. So very helpful when thinking about my goals and working with galleries. Here’s a question for your next Q & A video: Since you sell your artwork through galleries and your own website, does your pricing stay the same on both? Or do you not post a painting on your website that is currently hanging in one of your galleries? And how many galleries do you currently have that represent your work? How much work does each gallery expect you to give them each year? Thank you for responding to these questions. I’ve never heard any artist talk about this.

This is very useful. Thank you again :)

🙋‍♀️ Lori Very interesting and helpful 👍 Thanks for sharing this information 🌈🙏uk

Dont worry about the camera. You are such a beautiful woman and have a great way of presenting yourself. Really. Your hair looks great and your teeth are also beautiful. Besides that, i watched your video on starting with just one color. Thank you for that great tip. But even that little demo came out pretty good.

Thank you!! I needed that information.
