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)
