How to Find an Artist's Rep

Just as actors hire agents to advance their careers, some artists hire representatives to promote their personae and artwork. Hiring someone to advocate for you as an artist can take your career to new heights and give you exposure that you might not otherwise acquire on your own. Find an artist's rep to promote your artwork if you want to take your career to the next level.

Instructions

1

Create plenty of artwork. Come up with several pieces or a collection of your work for presentation. Know that art reps are scarce and will only represent an artist who is already somewhat successful.

2

Find an artist's rep so that you'll have more time to produce more artwork. Start by asking your favorite caf or restaurant to display some of your work if you haven't done so already, thus providing good places to meet with art reps later.

3

Look for good art reps through word-of-mouth, and ask some of your current clients for recommendations. Since they buy art, they know good art reps. See which artists various reps promote and find out what type of art they're most into (e.g., commercial or fine art).

4

Know that some art reps aren't very good, and the rest (if you can convince one to represent you) aren't likely to be there for you emotionally or for any other personal reason. It's just about business usually. Reps generally get around 25% of your sales for their role in your career development, and art galleries get anywhere between 40% and 60% for commissions.

5

Contact various reps. Most have web sites you can peruse online that not only provide contact information, but also present bios on current artists they're representing as well as show off their portfolios.

6

Meet with a few art reps you find appealing. Meet at cafs or other places where you might already have your artwork exhibited. Bring samples of your work or your portfolio with you.

7

Ask each art rep how they feel about a trial period of representation. Realize this will benefit you too since it's important to uncover whether or not your relationship will click and flourish. Find an artist's rep and grow your career. Get the exposure you've been missing and sell more art.
