How to Get a First Show at an Art Gallery
What Galleries Look for in Artists.
Do you ever wonder how a gallery decides to give a new artist a first show? If you’re like many artists, you probably think it’s all about the art. You waltz your oeuvre through a gallery’s doors, the owner swoons; game over. Right? No, not really. According to gallery owners, that’s not at all the way it works. Sure, gallery owners have to be impressed with your work and like it enough to want to show it, but according to them, that’s only a start; there’s far more to it than that. Plenty of other puzzle pieces have to fall into place in order to seal the deal (or fall out of place in order to kill it).

Invitationals take place twice each year in Brooklyn, New York at our home gallery in Bushwick, with ambitions to expand the program more frequently and in additional locations.
If selected by our team, your work will be included in a two-week curated exhibition, with 100% of all sales retained by YOU, the artist.
