For artists in Leeds and Wakefield, commercial galleries are few and far between.

Working with commercial galleries may be able to sustain your practice and grow your peer network and audience.

From pricing your work to insurance and letters of agreement, this talk and Q&A with Ellie Pennick, Guts Gallery and Georgia Taylor Aguilar, The Tetley, covers the essentials of commercial galleries to make sure they work for you.

About

This event is part of PANIC! Together, a double-weekend artist development programme with The Art House, Wakefield.

This session will be recorded.

This is an online event that will also be screened live at The Tetley.

Director and Founder of Guts Gallery, Ellie Pennick is one of the youngest gallerists navigating the art world today. As a working-class, queer Northerner with no art background, Pennick’s outlook on the art world is shaped by her frustrations with the arts education system, and lack of opportunities available. Pennick launched Guts to generate a fair art business model and to champion emerging artists, helping artists to demand the respect – and ownership – they deserve.
