Every artist dreams of gallery representation … until they learn the truth about what really happens behind those white walls. In this episode, I'm breaking the silence about the messy, often painful truth of gallery representation. From shady contracts to missing paintings and "forgotten" payments, I'm sharing the stories most artists are too scared to say out loud, and also how you can protect yourself. You'll learn: Why gallery representation doesn't equal success How to spot red flags before signing anything The mindset shift that keeps you in power as an artist Because gallery representation can be great. But they're not the source of your worth. That's all you, babe. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing! And don't forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.
