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.
