Art galleries have long been, and still remain, one of the primary ways of acquiring art, but as more and more artists advertise their work online many people are simply looking online and deciding whether they want to take the time to go to the gallery or just stay in for the night. There are many Chicago modern art galleries where you can view pieces by up and coming artists, so get out there and check some of them out. You will not regret it, and you will be helping the art community. Here are a few reasons we must continue to support local art galleries.
They Generate Exposure
Art galleries are one of the best ways for new artists to be seen. Sure, they could post their work online, but to truly appreciate a piece it must be seen in person. Since galleries usually screen their applicant’s anyway, collectors can go in knowing what level of quality to expect. When you post online, there is no rating or mark to set an artist aside and make it easier for collectors and artists to work together.
It is an Excellent Networking Opportunity
Going to an art gallery, especially an event is a great way to network with others in the art community. You have the opportunity to meet both artists and investors. There really is no better way to meet other people from around the community with a shared taste for art than at an art gallery.
You Know Exactly What You Are Getting
The problem with viewing art online is that you do not truly know what you are getting. Yes, you get to see the piece, but you see it as it is presented in the picture. Pictures can be affected by lighting, background, filter, and a number of other factors. These can let someone take a picture that will display the piece in a very flattering light without actually altering the photo, but it may not be what you are expecting. When you go to an art gallery your art getting a firsthand look at it before you decide whether to buy or not.
