Please do your homework first.  Review the website of each member to see if that art space shows your type of art.  If if it does, visit the space, go to the openings, support the artists who are exhibited there.  Once you have ascertained that the space is the right fit for your art and you are the right fit for the space, contact the Director of the space to schedule an appointment. Please note: some members do not take appointments as they are not open to unsolicited art.
