Criticism III

Every gallery owner/director seems to be as different as artists themselves. Many owners are artists as well! It's good to have many qualified people view your works; don't get held up on just a few. I contacted another reputable gallery while away and she had a very different response:

Dear Deborah,

 

Thank you very much for your submission of work.  It is, indeed, lovely; however, at this time we are not seeking new artists. 

 

Thank you for considering our gallery.  I wish you the very best in your career and invite you to visit our galleries in Jackson, Sedona and Cody.

 

Best Regards,

Pamela, Director

Though they're not looking for artists now, things can change as the economy turns around. The next time I do contact her, it will be a warm connection, as oppose to this cold first one. It's one step closer than before and I got the opportunity to get my work in front of her, and the chance for feedback. This process alone can move you milestones in growth.
