Draftsmen | Getting YOUR Work in a Gallery - Draftsmen S3E28 @Draftsmen | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Join Stan and Marshall in their conversation with Ben Zhu, a former student of Marshall’s who also happens to be the founder, owner, and curator of Gallery Nucleus. Ben has years of experience as an artist and gallery owner, so he also has an abundance of wisdom to share with artists looking to get their work into a gallery. He’ll tell you how you can get your foot in the door, ways to make yourself more appealing to galleries, and explain some common faux pas so that you can avoid making them yourself.
