How to create an artist portfolio that attracts galleries |Gayatri Singh|

Arts To Hearts Podcast

This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have Gayatri Singh as our guest. Founder of Art Incept, Gayatri spent 20 years in the corporate world before she decided to enter the art world. Her gallery has a ‘mentor’s first’ approach where experienced curators and experts guide artists.

Despite not having any formal background in arts, Gayatri was bothered by the fact that there were so many unestablished artists in India because emerging artists did not really have a platform. More importantly, Gayatri could see that there was no way artists could gain the necessary knowledge that would help them navigate the world of art. This led to the inception of Art Incept, a gallery dedicated to nurturing and promoting emerging talent in the visual arts.

What attracts Gayatri towards emerging artists is their boldness and fearlessness. She has observed that younger artists are more experimental and so they are using varied materials, which offers a fresh perspective. Her experience with such fresh voices has allowed her to make some observations, and she shares that wisdom with us as well. From making a good portfolio to choosing the right curator/gallery, Gayatri thinks there are a few things emerging artists can do to get their foot in the door.

Art Incept offers various training sessions where artists are taught marketing strategy, how to photograph their work, how to be present on social media, and how to work with a gallery. These sessions can make all the difference for young artists, as in the beginning, they barely have an idea of where to start. With the right guidance and training, they can make progress in the right direction.

Tune in to the full episode to listen to Gayatri talk about emerging artists and how she is noticing a shift in people’s attitudes when it comes to art.
