"Since the times of the ancient Greeks, Art History records a relentless quest for Realism and artistic excellence in realistic paintings and sculpture. The masters of each generation strove to perfect their craft, then passed on the torch of their accumulated knowledge and skill to the next generation. The accomplishments and technological breakthroughs of one generation have often set new standards of excellence for the next." ~ H.D.J.

DISCRIPTION

A commercial art gallery manager is responsible for the commercial and artistic success of a gallery. This involves overseeing the diverse activities involved in running a gallery space.

Responsibilities range from dealing with clients to installing exhibitions. Because of this scope, the role demands a combination of artistic awareness, business acumen, interpersonal skills and practical abilities.

Commercial art galleries vary in style, size and purpose. The art market continues to diversify to include more regional artist-led spaces and a variety of different types of galleries with different approaches to the selling of art, but a period spent in India or another large city may still be necessary for managers to widen their job opportunities.

This is a market-led industry that demands commercial focus and flair, in addition to an interest in art.
