How to Submit Artwork to a Gallery
Creating a master piece of art is one thing whereas earning appreciation and admiration for it is something entirely different. No one can get the due credit of an art work without putting it on display. These days art galleries have become the most authentic medium of an artist’s promotion and you just cannot talk down their importance.
However, you will have to send your work to get a place in the art gallery. Submitting samples of art work requires a certain kind of approach as it’s never easy to persuade the art connoisseurs to promote your art work.
