Podmajersky Retail Gallery Space
ABOUT: Rental Galleries are often associated with museums. They show the work of artists and rent the work by the month or year.
EXPECTATIONS: Generally work with a wide range of artists.
PROS: Can be a good way to generate income from your work.
CONS: Many of these works are hung in private places, so are not open to viewing by the public.
RESEARCH: Check the Web for information, or consult other artists.
RESOURCES: Web listings are probably the best place to start. You might also want to contact your local arts organizations.
