Feeling sorry for walk-in artists

I always look at online submissions to my
gallery. I do not solicit them, nor do I pass them up. If artists come
into my gallery and tell me they want to show me their work I politely
tell them we are not taking on any new artists and I feel sorry for them
as they go away. Generally, talking to artists in the gallery is a
waste of time as I could be on the phone talking to potential customers.
But if artists send in online I give them a quick scan. While dealers
will tell you they are not interested, there are no dealers in the world
who are not looking for better art that will sell itself. Several of my
most popular painters have come to me via the Internet and I would not
have heard about them otherwise.

Thank you for sharing this information with us Paula. This also saves the artist time as well!
