EHow: How To Find Gallery Representation
Step 1: If you have not earned at least a Bachelor of Fine Art degree, it is essential for you to do so. Few galleries take completely self taught artists seriously. In addition, an art degree will give you the opportunity to make connections with professors who themselves are artists
Step 2: Once you have had several solo shows at your school, exhibited in juried exhibitions and in other venues, go back and revise your Curriculum Vitae, which should list every exhibition in which you have participated. Make sure it looks polished, professional and neat.
Step 3: If you have not written an artist statement, do so. Begin by noting down all of your artistic goals and ideas. This is a difficult exercise, but try to approach it in a relaxed manner. An artist statement is not a formal essay, and can be written in what ever format you choose. In fact, it is not unusual for artists to write their artist statements in poem format

These are funny, and probably true.
