your own art if you are
an artist yourself.

you become part of a rich culture, and you may enjoy an excellent
reputation
as an important part of your community.

is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”
—Andy Warhol
In fact, more people are buying
art today than ever before. According to the most recent U.S. Economic
Census data, retail art dealers’ annual revenues have
increased
by more than 40% over the previous five years. In major urban centers,
some art dealers' revenues top $2 million per year. Clearly, art
gallery owners are a very
successful group of retailers.

you will have less risk than most types of retail businesses
because you can fill your art gallery with inventory without paying
until it's sold.

"Michelangelo once said,
‘The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high
and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.’
I believe the message of this guide is to inspire art gallery hopefuls
to take a chance and follow their dream career. The book gives you the
business information you need to get started. The rest is up to how much
you want it.”
—Mitchell Warren, art gallery
guide author
"(My
art gallery) grew out of a comment by a friend who is a wildlife videographer,
suggesting that we create a gallery to show our photographs. Something
that was visualized as a small gallery grew into a 5,000 square foot space
in a world-class art community featuring artworks by internationally renowned
wildlife and landscape photographers. It is very rewarding to watch a gallery
grow from concept to reality."
—Susan
Gottlieb, Owner of G2 Gallery, Venice, California
"When
you make a buyer happy and when you help them select art that represents
