How to Start a... Art Gallery Business

Discover the next Van Gogh, Renoir, or Warhol by creating an art gallery. An art gallery in an urban center and trendy area can earn a good income and introduce you to a new social scene.

An Art Gallery makes its money from a percentage of the sales of the art it contains. Combining this business with art auctions is a natural fit. Additionally, you can expand the operation into other areas - for example, offering art classes or housing studios for your local artists.

An art gallery also opens up revenue generating opportunities by selling art to local companies and organizations. Many local businesses support local artists while designing the interiors of their office space, corner this market and increase the sales from your gallery ten fold!
