Arta gallery owner Fay Athari

If you are an art student in university and want to start your own gallery, perhaps an artist-run gallery may sound appealing. An artist-run gallery is just what the name implies – a gallery managed by a group of artists, forming a collective. An artist-run is less intimidating to venture into as compared to a commercial gallery. The benefit of considering the commercial gallery space is that commercial galleries tend to have more exposure and strategy when it comes to networking and “getting yourself in” the art scene.
