Instruction manual

1

Chat with art gallery owners. It is better if they are in another city and do not compete with you. They can give you tips on how to get started. They will also tell you what to watch out for, what problems should be avoided. Make an appointment at your expense as a thank you for your time.

2

Get the funding you need. To do this, you will need to draw up a detailed business plan. Investors will not even consider your proposal if the document is not drawn up properly. If you have a good credit line at a local bank, then it will be much easier for you to get a loan there. You can apply for a special grant, because your institution has the opportunity to become important for the city district.

3

Find a suitable place. Contact a real estate agent and find out the current price range. Make sure that the gallery will be visited by a sufficient number of people and the surroundings correspond to the contemplation of art.

4

Buy paintings from famous artists for your gallery. You can purchase the paintings directly or place them on a consignment basis. You can also conclude a contract with the artists and take them for constant cooperation. The news that famous artists work in your gallery will have a very beneficial effect on its popularity.

5

Set a schedule for the grand opening of the gallery. Spend enough on advertising, otherwise no one will know about the existence of your institution. Time the opening to one of the upcoming exhibitions. Place an advertisement in local newspapers and let it sound on the radio. You can order wall-mounted advertising at the printing house and place it on city posters.
