Are You Gallery Ready? A Self-Evaluation for Visual Artists

Discover where you stand on the path to success in exhibiting your art. These ten questions are important regardless of whether you exhibit in galleries, juried exhibitions, local art fairs, or group shows. Select the response to each question that best describes where you are today. You're the only one who will see the answers, so be honest with yourself. At the end of the evaluation, you'll have an option to receive an email with your responses. You'll also receive an overall readiness score.

Do you have 20 cohesive and consistent works ready for presentation?(Required)
Exhibitors look for artists with a cohesive and consistent body of work, typically with 20 pieces that reflect a clear style or theme. Having a strong, focused collection shows that you’re ready to present your work professionally and meet an exhibitor’s expectations.
Are your works created with high-quality materials and presented professionally?(Required)
The quality of your materials and the way your artwork is presented—through framing, matting, or mounting—play a crucial role in how exhibitors and collectors perceive its value and your professionalism.
Do you have an artist statement, biography, and resume prepared?(Required)
These materials help exhibitors, collectors, and viewers understand your journey, inspiration, and achievements as an artist. They are vital for building credibility and connection.
Do you have a well-researched and consistent pricing structure for your artwork?(Required)
Galleries and collectors value artists who confidently price their work based on research and consistency. A clear pricing structure builds trust and ensures your art is positioned appropriately in your market.
Do you have high-quality digital images of your artwork?(Required)
High-quality images are vital for submitting your work to shows and galleries. This will likely be their first exposure to your artwork and its quality will be judged from the images—and first impressions matter.
Do you have a polished website for your art practice?(Required)
A professional website helps you connect with buyers, stay visible, and attract galleries. A well-organized and easy to navigate website helps visitors find out about your art and return for updates.
Do you have a digital portfolio showcasing your body of work?(Required)
A dedicated portfolio allows you to present a curated selection of your best work professionally and efficiently to galleries and collectors. This is separate from your website or social media, which are more public-facing and often includes a broader range of your artwork.
Have you created a list of calls to enter or galleries to approach with your portfolio?(Required)
A comprehensive list of calls and galleries increases your chances of finding the right fit. Including any call or gallery that might be a possibility ensures more opportunities to be seen, build a resume, and gain experience—and helps overcome the fear of rejection.
Are you actively marketing your art through social media, email newsletters, and your website?(Required)
Active marketing through social media, email newsletters, and blog posts with consistency across these platforms builds your reputation and audience.
Are you prepared to approach exhibitors professionally and follow up effectively?(Required)
Approaching exhibitors requires preparation. A professional proposal and follow-up demonstrate that you are serious and reliable.
