Getting art ready for galleries workshops with Sonya Sparks

Getting Art Ready For Galleries Workshop

🖼️ What if getting your art into galleries isn’t only about creating strong work, but also knowing how to present that work professionally?

I’m excited to share Getting Art Ready for Galleries: a live online workshop at with Mastrius, co-hosted with Sonya Sparks, owner of Sparks Gallery.

As a career artist who has worked with galleries for many years, I know how uncertain the process can feel. What should you submit? How should your work be framed, signed, priced, and prepared? What do galleries expect from you beyond the artwork itself?

In this workshop, Sonya and I will share perspectives from both sides of the gallery relationship: what galleries are looking for and what artists need to do to build lasting, professional relationships with them.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

✅ Frame and sign your artwork professionally
✅ Select and install appropriate hanging equipment
✅ Price your work for a gallery setting
✅ Understand the basics of consignment agreements
✅ Write a clear statement about your artistic practice
✅ Create effective statements for individual pieces
✅ Communicate with galleries professionally
✅ Build an online portfolio that supports your applications
✅ Present yourself in a way that helps you stand out

Whether you’re preparing to contact a gallery for the first time or want to strengthen the way you work with galleries now, this workshop will help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

🎨 LIVE & interactive on Monday, 9/28, 5-7pm pst. Recordings included for one year so you can revisit.
