Art Collecting Part 2

By Ian Kleine

It is also helpful if you would sign up for the gallery and the shows mailing lists (a simple drop off of form with your email address and physical address would suffice). These invites would sometimes allow access to private openings, special events and gallery premieres. Gallery mailing lists usually send you special information regarding new shows as well, so it's not a loss at all for you to sign up to one.

Your local museums, galleries and art centers usually have some sort of club or society within. Inquire inside and meet some of the local enthusiasts in your area. Their expertise and knowledge would greatly help you in sorting out your taste, as well as good company at the night of art gallery openings. These institutions also have their own events that they hold (usually an afternoon lecture of that sort) so if you are the artsy type, you're sure to not want to miss it!

We also have various national and international art fairs aside from the state levels. These are the big guns, so to speak. Here we see an exhibition like no other, and an audience that is ten times more critical than ever. Here's your chance to witness the suburban art jungle in action. Observe and witness the splendor of art and action, all in one place.

By and far, if you have frequented a lot of art shows by now, you would be naturally curious and would want to know more about the world of art and art shows. If you don't want to look clueless in front of your peers in the art show; then be wise and start reading up those infos regarding art and history. There are also a few magazines that you can subscribe to, especially those regarding about art in itself.
