About a Career as an Art Gallery Owner

Imagine having an exciting, prestigious, and rewarding career as the owner of an art gallery, being paid to select and sell art. Welcome to the world of art galleries!

When you start an art gallery, you make your own choices and express your own creative spirit. You might introduce the public to artists you admire, discover exciting new artists, or even create the ideal showcase for your own art if you are an artist yourself.

In addition to working with famous and emerging artists, you may also work with wealthy clients who frequent private art galleries to add to their art collections. Opening night parties for gallery exhibitions can be intimate affairs or grand galas attended by local, national, and international celebrities.

By opening your own art gallery, you have the luxury of selling the artworks you want to, you become part of a rich culture, and you may enjoy an excellent reputation as an important part of your community.

"My art gallery grew out of a comment by a friend suggesting that we create a gallery to show our photographs. Something that was visualized as a small gallery grew into a 5,000 square foot space in a world-class art community featuring artworks by internationally renowned wildlife and landscape photographers. It is very rewarding to watch a gallery grow from concept to reality."
Susan Gottlieb, Owner of G2 Gallery, Venice, California
