artists, you should...

Every day people who are artists come in & and just flat out say to me, "I should show you my stuff." or, "You know, I'm a REALLY GOOD painter if you are looking for any."

I am currently not taking submissions at this time.
I have about 25 artists that I am working with in different capacities & my year is booked for shows. I need to make sure that I give the artists that I am already working with the attention that they deserve.

If you do want to approach galleries in general just ASK what the policy is for submissions. If the gallery says no, do not argue or say snotty or desperate things.

There is a time & place for everything. Even if there is a chance that I missed seeing THE BEST ART EVER because I am busy with current artists, I'm sure something THE BEST will come around again.

You could also look at it this way:
If you were an artist booked for a show or working with a gallery you certainly wouldn't want to lose a show or get pushed aside because some artist "better" than you came along.

So please respect my artists by letting them have their work here without your better art getting in the way.

And please, respect me. After all, it is my decision. And a word of advice, if you never want a show, try those lines at a blue-chip gallery....I bet you haven't.
