In this installment of our Emerging Visions Professional Development Series, our artists sat down with Houston gallerists Carla Bisong (Bisong Art Gallery), Andrew Durham (Andrew Durham) and our own Executive Director Tanja Peterson for a Q&A session.

Carla, Andrew, and Tanja shared practical insights on navigating the art world, covering the do’s and don’ts of approaching gallery owners, looking for the right fit in regards to art styles, and researching a gallery’s roster, building relationships at openings, and avoiding unannounced portfolio reviews or mass email pitches.

They also shared the need for a cohesive body of work, an updated digital portfolio, and using pop-up spaces or artist collectives to build momentum.

Thank you to Carla, Andrew and Tanja for sharing their advice and mentorship with our artists!
