Heather Roy and Arlette Kayafas Lead Panel Discussion “How to Approach a Gallery” at the Brookline Arts Center.
(Brookline, MA – April 9, 2007) At the Brookline Arts Center’s panel discussion “How to Approach a Gallery” artists who are looking to make their first venture into gallery shows can learn the how-to’s from those in the know: galleries. This talk led by directors Heather Roy of Artana Gallery and Arlette Kayafas of Gallery Kayafas will take place on Tuesday, May 22, from 6 to 8 pm.
Roy and Kayafas will lead a lively discussion on the do’s and don’ts of approaching a gallery. Artists who have never exhibited in a gallery can learn the steps to successfully secure their first show, while artists who have previously exhibited can learn how to better market their art. This discussion is free and open to the public.
Both Roy and Kayafas are experienced professionals in the Boston-area art scene. Roy’s Artana Gallery is located in Coolidge Corner in Brookline. Roy has also been an exhibition juror for art museums, and a panelist speaker. Gallery Kayafas is located in Boston’s South End. Prior to opening her gallery, Kayafas was a collector of contemporary art for over 30 years.
With its art classes for adults and children, free photography discussions, its Open Studios, and its art exhibitions, the Brookline Arts Center is committed to nurturing the artist in people from different backgrounds.
