This class walk you through the dos and don't dos of dealing with galleries, so that you can essentially act as your own manager and agent. We will discuss options on how to get into a gallery, how to choose the right venue to show your work, and what to do once you get representation. Best practices and dealing with the necessary paperwork will be discussed as well, saving you from having to learn it all the hard way.
