Painters Tip
Showing in Alternative Venues
If you have reasonably priced work you might consider showing your paintings in restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, book shops, Dr offices and hair salons.
Before you seek out this kind of opportunity, do a bit of preparation first.
Prepare a small packet to give the shop owner. It should include a gallery sheet with images, your resume/statement/bio and a business card with all contact information. Call the shop and ask for an appointment at a convenient time for the owner. Take one painting framed in the frame style that you intend to use for the exhibit.
When you arrive you will need to ask a number o questions, including hanging hardware requirements, number of paintings, installation and take down dates, commission to shop if any, size and price range preference, insurance, if any, payment methods from clients. Will the owner allow you to run credit cards through the store?
More tomorrow on alternative venues........
