5 Mistakes Artists Make When Trying to Get Their Art into Galleries
(and how to fix this)


Hosted by Sonya Sparks, Chief Curator and Gallery Owner

 

And How Advancing Through The Artist Path Helps You Go From Overlooked to Exhibited and Represented

 

Free 45 Minute Live Webinar for Emerging and Mid-Career Artists

You know you should be in galleries by now (or in more galleries). 


...but what you probably don’t realize is you can have amazing art, do a bunch of cold email outreach, and galleries will still overlook you. 

 

2026 can be the year that you change that. 

 

Join me live to learn:

     

âž” What gallery owners are actually evaluating

 ➔ How to assess whether you’re submission-ready

âž” How to avoid common pitfalls that damage credibility

 
The replay will be available to those who register.

Wondering if this webinar is for you?

If any of these have crossed your mind, the answer is YES:

“I send things out and never hear back.”

“I don’t even know which galleries I should be contacting.”

“I have no idea if I’m doing this right or totally wrong.”

“I don’t feel like my work is ready, but I also don’t know what galleries actually want.”

“Every rejection makes me question whether I’m cut out for this.”

“I’m scared it might be too late for me to break into galleries.”

“At this stage in my career, I thought I would be further along.”

If that is you, you are likely just missing the right milestone on The Artist Path. 

 


Here’s the good news:


You can get your art into galleries without becoming someone you are not.


Because at the root of all of this is understanding exactly where you are on The Artist Path and what galleries are actually looking for at each stage.

You don’t need to just keep cold emailing, post over and over on socials, or push yourself into awkward self promotion just to get noticed by galleries, and it is not just about making better art either.

Knowing what NOT to do is a great way to see what you SHOULD do. 

That is exactly what I will walk you through inside this free live webinar.

 

Hi!
I'm Sonya Sparks

Think of me as your gallery guide, here to help you stop guessing and start getting yeses.


I’m the owner and curator of Sparks Gallery, and for over a decade, I’ve reviewed thousands of artist submissions. I know what galleries look for, what stands out, and what gets passed over.

I created the Gateway to Galleries monthly membership to give artists a clear, supportive path to presenting their work with confidence. Whether you're just starting to build your portfolio or you're ready to deepen your gallery relationships, you're not alone in this.

I’ve worked with artists at every stage and have seen how clarity, preparation, and the right approach can open the right doors.

If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, feel confident in your submissions,
and start getting into galleries, you're in the right place.
