eh, I think that is a bit disingenuous. Galleries often take 50% while still reinlyg on the artist to generate buzz and often pay for physical promotional materials. That is to say, if you actually get into a gallery to have a show. So the bulk of the work still lies in the artist while they lose half their money.The art world is changing, and the vast majority of emerging artists are not exhibiting in galleries they are doing pop up shows with other groups of artists. I think ArtVenue is offering another opportunity to just get your work out there and for now at least, it is free. As a former art dealer I can attest that selling art to even motivated buyers isn't easy and showing in a gallery is no guarantee of a big payday. Saying to artists promote yourselves' is kind of ridiculous no? Of course they are but through what outlets? I think ArtVenue is providing one option, galleries another, pop up shows another, etc, yadda yadda. Don't limit yourself, but certainly don't expect (of think you deserve) to have to world at your feet just because you make pretty pictures. My advice to artists is to get your name out there through as many venues as you can.
