What do you do at art galleries?

What Does an Art Gallery Do?

  • Curate the exhibition program. The art gallery sets up an exhibition program which will be the core of the identity of the gallery.
  • Building a portfolio of artists and artist estates.
  • Sell and distribute artworks.
  • Represent and support the artists.

What do you wear to a gallery opening?

Cocktail or smart casual wear is recommended, though the design and colors should be minimalist; nothing one wears should take a visitor’s attention away from the art. Some gallery or exhibit openings may specify a dress code on the invitation. And of course, the artwork on display can also impact the dress code.
