Hi,
I’ve been asked by the proprietor of an art center/gallery to call & schedule a meeting to show my work, as the owner is considering giving me a personal exhibition. The thing is, I’m completely new to all of this. The place is on the opposite coast from where I’m at and being not so well off financially, I doubt I’ll be able to travel out there for a meeting if they wanted me to go there. Who knows, maybe the owner intends to travel out here, but I wanted to know a few things before calling. In a situation like this, would the artist usually travel out to the gallery/art center or is there really no customary “rules?” I’m really new and clueless about all this so I don’t want to insult anybody if I tell them I cannot make it. Is it okay to send portfolios/selected works for review if I cannot meet them, or does that not seem alright?
Many thanks.
