Here is a reliable, helpful guide to: traditional commercial galleries; college and university galleries; artists' organizations; other nonprofit spaces; alternative spaces; museums; how to run your own gallery; pricing, handling, shipping, and display considerations; conducting successful studio sales; creating your own special events; booth shows - from street fairs to Artexpo; maximizing juried competitions; competing in public art venues; cooperative galleries; "vanity" and rental galleries: worth it?; handling rejection; and much more.
