Jacques caught up with Sarah Powers, VAE’s Executive Director, to find
out more about how SPARKcon (a
program of VAE for the past 2 years)
is changing and helping VAE grow for
the better!
J: I know I have heard of it before, but can you
remind me again what SPARKcon is?
S: Sure thing! SPARKcon is an interdisciplinary arts festival, founded in Raleigh in 2006 by designers, artists and community organizers. SPARKcon
features at least 1,700 artists in 175+ events in at least 15 categories: art,
music, gaming, fashion, poetry, bazaar, creative lectures, theatre, film,
comedy, food, dance & kids activities. SPARKcon uses an innovative
event structure to connect and showcase the growing creative community in the Triangle. Each category is called a “SPARK” (musicSPARK,
fashionSPARK, etc) and is organized by volunteers who work as a team,
to create programming that best represents their art form, whether it be
a performance, an exhibition, showcase or interactive activity.
J: How have the past 2 years changed VAE and SPARKcon?
S: Since taking on SPARKcon as a program, the number of artists who
participate has doubled. There has also been a dramatic increase in
corporate, foundation, and private sponsorship for the event over the
past 2 years, thanks in large part to VAE’s fundraising and grant writing
efforts. SPARKcon allows VAE to empower creative leadership, build
new audiences and create deep connections across the creative community. VAE has been primarily a visual arts organization, but through
SPARKcon, it has extended its network to include artists from a wide variety of backgrounds and who are interested in many different disciplines.
J: What do you think is the most exciting opportunity for visual artists in
this year’s SPARKcon?
S: artSPARK is one of the biggest SPARKs in SPARKcon. This includes the
street painting, PODs installations, the artSPARK gallery exhibition, photography exhibitions and events, and more! If you are interested in applying for a juried installation project or a gallery exhibtion, the artSPARK
PODs and/or gallery are the right fit for you. If you are a visual artist and
you want to participate, but don’t want to apply for a juried or curated
event, check out street painting! SPARKcon is also a great time for visual
artists to meet and network with artists from other genres (music, performance, poetry, etc.), and maybe even collaborate on a project.
J: Ok! So how do I get involved?
S: That’s easy! Learn more about SPARKcon through the website
www.SPARKcon.com. VAE will also continue to supply our community of
artists, members and art lovers with updates about SPARKcon general
meetings and calls for artist!

in the know
(continued) Don’t approach a gallery at another artist’s opening and
do not solicit clients or discuss your artwork with customers while in a
gallery that does not show your work. Don’t ask the gallery what they
are looking for and then say that you “can make that too”. Don’t take it
personally if they are not interested in your work, some galleries might not
be in need of new artists to represent at that time.
tips for artists from pros in the know
VAE is trying to get our members back into the business mindset this
Spring. We recently hosted our Spring Business of Being an Artist
lecture series (April 21st). In case you missed the talks, we decided
to talk to gallery owner Adam Cave (www.adamcavefineart.com)
for some advice on approaching galleries about representation opportunities. For more information about the Business of Being an Artist
series visit www.visualartexchange.org/artists/artist-education. Don’t
worry, we will host another lecture series soon!
Q: Who should be considering gallery representation?
A: Gallery representation is best for artists who are making artwork on a
consistent basis and have a portfolio of at least10 available works that are
ready to be seen. Artists with a defined style and artistic approach and
who have a long-term plan for their artwork are often the best fit for gallery
representation. If an artist is interested in selling in an area outside of where
they live or need help building their reputation and prestige, they should
consider seeking gallery representation. A gallery will act as a business partner to help with marketing and sales of an artists’ artwork, so make sure that
is the kind of relationship you are ready for as an artist.
Q: How do you find a gallery?
A: Finding a gallery should be treated with the same care as finding a job.
Research galleries ahead of time, online and with non-soliciting visits. There
are different types of galleries with different business models so decide what
you are comfortable with (consignment, wholesale purchase, contracts,
no-contracts, exclusivity, etc.). Go to a gallery event (or two) so you can
see who their clients are, how the staff interacts with guests, and how they
present artwork. Because every gallery is different, it is very important to
look at a gallery’s aesthetics, prices, styles, and mediums represented to
see if they are in line with your artwork. Be sure to network with fellow artists
to find out more about their experiences with local galleries, learning from
the experiences of others is one of the best ways to find out more about a
gallery’s practices.
Q: What should an artist have BEFORE approaching galleries?
A: It is very important that an artist have a complete artist statement, short
biography, and resume (list of shows, education background, etc), before
approaching any gallery. Artists should also have some kind of website or
CD with digital images of available work along with titles, sizes, medium,
and prices (even if you have never sold work before). All of this information
about you and your artwork should be put together in a portfolio format.
Artwork should also be ready for a professional presentation (framed, finished and ready to hang).
Q: What are the steps an artist should take in approaching a gallery he or
she wants to show with?
A: Each gallery is going to be a little bit different but here are my personal
tips for approaching a gallery:
1. Find out who you should speak with about representation
(owner? manager?) and send that person a personal letter or
email introducing yourself.
2. Ask what the gallery’s submission policy is - each gallery is
different so this is very important!
3. In your letter/email provide a CD or link to your artwork online,
you can also send a printed portfolio but you should still include a CD of images even if your portfolio has printed images.
4. Keep this letter/email short and to the point and offer to follow
up in a week by phone. (If you say you will follow up in a week by phone, make sure you DO follow up in a week by phone)
5. On the phone - be polite and considerate of their time (galler-
ies are very busy places), if they don’t have time to chat with you at that moment, ask when is a better time to call back
6. Ask if they have had a chance to look at your work. Tell them
what you like about their gallery and why you have approached
them.
7. If you are offered a chance to meet with the gallery in person,
ask about their commission structure, contracts, exhibitions and
insurance. Use this as a chance to also interview the gallery to
ensure they are the right fit for you.
Q: Can you give some tips on things NOT to do?
A: Don’t show up unannounced with artwork under your arm. This gives the
impression that you don’t respect the gallery’s time or their busy schedule.
Don’t expect or ask gallery staff to talk to you if they have other, potential
clients in the gallery.
visual art exchange
Q: Any closing advice or remarks for artists looking for gallery representation?
A: A good gallery should be focused on working for the artists that they
represent and the clients that come to them for artwork. This means that
the act of considering new artists, particularly for an established gallery,
is only rarely a priority. Do not take this to mean that you are unimportant but understand that you are asking them to take time away from the
very thing that keeps them in business. The easier you make this process
for them and the more information you provide, the sooner both of you
can determine if you are a good fit. And, if you are a good fit, you will
quickly become their priority.
