I am a Brazilian artist who resumed artistic activity five years ago, after a decades-long absence. I consider your guidance to be precise and very valuable, relevant and qualified. Congratulations.

I have outgrown my current art situation and I am looking for a gallery to take care of my price requests and ongoing sales. All very true for me right now, thank you for making things so clear. This channel is giving me some excellent homework to do.

Thanks so much once again for this straight forward, practical, well researched, no BS guideline. I always watch your videos and notice that I subconiously , succesfully applied many of the things you mention 🙏 Thanks for your honest work 🙏 You are somewhat the direct opposite to agents like ries Ketels and others

As an artist who has worked in artist run spaces all the way up to blue chip galleries I can contest that partnering with the right gallery is one of the most important decisions that an artist will make. Also know when to jump ship and pivot if you are not happy with them. Yes loyalty is a thing but don’t be afraid to leave especially if your gut is telling you to go

Hi Julién and team. Thank you. Cool we get a glimpse of some new works in the background. Does Perrier get to help curate the set?…. : ))haha Do you have good suggestions for online career/job platforms for Belgium or France please? I am in a position to move… and sticking to the overall truth that being near these Centers for art will be the best long term strategy…And I currently must work outside of my artwork. Fantastic video to add to the program. In Gratitude… Sincerely, Janet

Hi Janet, great to hear you once more. I trust you have been well! Indeed, the two paintings in the background will be on display this summer during a group exhibition in Paris. I definitely need Perrier's approval to show anything new here on the walls 😂 In Flanders, cultuurjobs.be is a great platform. Wishing you all the best, as always!

Thank you… and… Perrier must have neglected to inform you that I am only conversant in English and French. This site looks cool… and… is in Dutch. I am still becoming familiar with how your country navigates its language culture. Sorry. I’ll continue the search… investigating France… With that in mind… are you willing to identify where that ‘Art Center Map’ is from please? Of course I have the info from the Art Cities CAI article. Thank you Julien. Trusting the baby is able to enjoy her first summer there.☀️🌸

Many artists don’t feel comfortable using social media. Can you address that too please?! Are galleries not interested in people without social media following? Or, would an element of surprise and not seen on social media work as well?
@r-cdmx3 ай бұрын
It can also be an English language game. Many artists from around the world are simply uncomfortable communicating in a foreign language or don’t speak or understand the language at all which can hinder their global progress and usually keeps these artists stuck in their home countries unless they are 'discovered' and then represented.

Hi there; thank you for tuning in. Most likely not, as galleries are spoiled for choice. I believe a more neutral attitude between eager to collaborate and hard to get is the sweet spot!

Just make amazing art. It will find an audience. So much of the art out there is average, including stuff in the big galleries. Only 1-2% of art is of significance, much like music. The rest is decorative, boring or derivative.

Hi there; thank you for tuning in. I am not happy about it, but I am not too worried either. In the end, AI will find a way to learn from the visual information created by artists across the globe via multiple channels; it is inevitable. In the end, AI will not replace the contemporary artist; it can not. Have a great day!

Well I'm not interested in the galleries in my city and the better ones are about 3000 km from where I live where I do go once a year or two but can't move or go more often So I will send e-mails, sorry, but thanks for your videos!

Once or twice a year is fine! You can stay in the loop via Instagram, and cultivate those contacts in real life every now and then. It is entirely up to you of course, wishing you the very best!

@@ELENAOttawa "Only wealthy artists get accepted to real-life galleries" is false. Just take a stroll in the Marais in Paris, and you'll see numerous shows by unknown emerging artists with normal backgrounds. Concerning the commission of galleries, feel free to watch the video from 09:02 and onwards discussing long-term collaborations. Don't try to go fast; try to go for a long time. If galleries is not for you, that's fine. But they are not scams; they have changed the lives of so many unknown artists over the years.
