If you are confident enough to submit your life’s work to a gallery, then you should be confident in following up with the gallery. Rejection comes in all professions and pursuits, it is those who know how to move beyond that find success. You cannot take things personally – be confident in your art, be confident in you!

Is it a common practice to have galleries on mailing lists? I’m assuming they have come to expect it since their business is art, but is it considered rude?

I think annoying is calling the week after you sent something and asking “did you get it?” I hear this can bug gallerists. But if you have a legitimate reason to suspect your submission got lost, go for it. Besides, no one is going to keep you out of their gallery stable if 1) they like your work and 2) you’re persistent. So, what have you got to lose?

This gives me a good framework for following up. Good good!
