Art galleries in the Hague

Last week I approached a couple of galleries on the Nordeinde, the chic gallery part of town. Portfolio in hand, sample artwork in tow, I was excited to talk with the owners.

Turns out that both galleries are fully booked for the next two years. One has no interest in more artists doing sea-scapes, and at the other my art did not work with the more abstract direction the owner wanted to go. No big deal, it takes a lot of work to find the right gallery.

I was discouraged tho, to see such beautiful art work hanging on the walls, at a very reasonable price, and not a single sold sticker to be seen. The crisis is really hitting the gallery owners hard here, and both seemed fairly down about their prospects.

This week I approach the Pulchri studio in a juried competition to see if I can become a member of this artists' coooperative.
