Galleries

Getting into Galleries is tough.
You have to find a Gallery you think is a fit, approach them in some fashion and wait for a response.
Most times I don't hear anything.
I don't get upset about that because, it is a shot in the dark and if someone responds then great, it probably will be a good venue for my work.
They like it, they want to see it and sell it to there customers.

But, when you do get into a space and they then return your work. That is a kick to the confidence.
I can tell myself a list of excuses why they didn't think it would work out, but it hurts.
When I received my returned work I did get excited, I have a show this weekend and the extra inventory is a big help!

I also found myself instead of freaking out, looking for new spaces to be in.
Nothing has come up, but I'm proud of myself for not giving into the self doubt and getting into a slump which could have easily happened.

So on I go, looking for new galleries and working hard, even trying out some new ideas and not giving up!
