I found the chapter five reading to be more useful and enjoyed reading it more then last weeks reading. There are many different things that they talk about in this chapter but I feel they are all equally important. It talks about when you actually get showings, and what you need to do to prepare for them. First you need to find out about the exhibition. You need to know where, when, how many pieces that they want, if it is an individual show or several-person show, if you are responsible for the art framing, if you are responsible for hanging the art, if it needs to be shipped who will pay for the costs, do they have announcements and what are they like. You will want to know what exactly this will look like. If it’s black and white or color, if your art will be on it. You will want to know how large the mailing list is and who is on it, if there will be a reception or not, who will pay for it and what will be served. More things that will need to be known ahead of time are what kind of advertising the gallery will do, will your work be insured, how much the gallery commission is, which work the gallery wants to show of yours, and if they are willing to sign a written contract with you.
Great job.
