Beware of Vanity Galleries

My articles on the subject have since been republished and distributed to artists around the world in many magazines, websites and blogs. I have also discussed the topic in many lectures and in my private consulting practice. For 7 years I gave a 3-hour course on the topic of NYC Galleries.
