NORTH ADAMS, MA - The Northern Berkshire Creative Arts (NBCA), partnered with Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts’ Berkshire Cultural Resource Center (BCRC), will present a seminar on “What Do Galleries Want?” on Thursday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the NBCA.
The event is free and open to the public with pre-registration.
This installment of the “Tricks of the Trade: Talks for Artists” series will feature a panel of gallery representatives including, Matthew Bellanger and Marianne Petit of Greylock Arts; Peter Dudek with the Storefront Artists Project; Jo-Ellen Harrison from the Harrison Gallery; Sean Riley of MCLA Gallery 51; and a representative from the Ferrin Gallery.
An artist’s first step to show his or her work often involves navigating the gallery world and facing as much rejection as acceptance. Panelists will discuss the importance of researching the type of work a gallery exhibits and making initial contact with the gallery. This talk provides first-hand insights into the minds and methods of gallery owners.
The NBCA is at 115 State St., Bldg. 1, at Heritage State Park. To pre-register, please call Jessica Conzo, BCRC program coordinator, 413-663-5253.
