PARTICIPATE IN GROUP EXHIBITIONS

Do you want to know the secret? The real secret on participating in group exhibitions is to carefully select the work that you think will most likely fit into the exhibition and also have a great opportunity to sell. Obviously with group exhibitions there will always be a panel that will evaluate your work and select some work. So number 1 enter more work than what is needed knowing full well that some of it will be rejected - so enter some things that will be rejected and also enter some things that you know they will most likely then accept as your better work...Give them the time to also reject some of your work!!!! Now with the pricing of those works - once you have established you price deliberately add a percentage - I add that the commission that the gallery will earn. But I must state in all integrity the artwork that will be accepted is actually worth that price anyway or even more!!!! Now I enter. I have successfully sold at group exhibitions and believe me this is a good strategy....
