Most new artists prefer a
private showing of their work. This is in order to get
the true feedback of the near and dear ones before going
public. It is more like a confidence building exercise.
Some artists go one step further and invite selective
press for the showing in order to see what their
comments are. And once this small exhibition has
launched them into the world of art and paintings they
tread towards reaching out to a wider spectrum. They
have more courage to exhibit their creative products at
larger and more reputed art galleries.
While choosing an art gallery to exhibit one’s work
there needs to be a few factors kept in mind. These are
the following:
-White walls: This is considered a prime factor. Any
work of art to stand out and divert one’s attention to
it should have nothing distracting in the background.
Some art gallery owners prefer solid colored walls, but
the actual mantra of art experts is plain white walls
that are spotless.
- Space factor: Because of budget constraints most new
artists have to compromise on the size of the art
gallery. However, it needs to be taken into account that
smaller spaces do not allow people to view the painting
from various perspectives. Most connoisseurs and art
appreciates do an on the spot complete study of the
piece of work. They need to view the artwork from the
closest point to the further most they can go to
understand the painting completely. If budget is the
problem then instead of going solo, one can gather a few
more artists who are ready to contribute towards a
larger gallery and put up the works as a collective
exhibition
- Location: This has to be kept in mind because most
people are willing to attend exhibitions that are easy
to access in terms of travel time and convenience. Also,
almost every city has a particular location where all
art related activities are centered. For instance,
Kalaghoda in Mumbai is considered the art center of the
city.
- The interiors: Ideally the interiors should be barren.
This is because all attention needs to be placed on the
exhibits and not other artifacts that tend to be placed
here and there.
-The lighting: the art gallery needs to have the right
kind of lighting, especially the placement of spot
lights below which the frames are placed.
- Press tie-ups: This is important, as every artist
needs to make people aware of the exhibitions happening.
Galleries that are owned by art connoisseurs are an
advised option, because they help in taking care of
press and publicity, thereby attracting art lovers to
view the works.
Every city and town has at least one famous art work
gallery that supports all types of local artists, as
well as those travelling from place to another
exhibiting their works. There are also some art
galleries of oil paintings that have a specially lit up
interior to exhibit this genre of paintings.
