We discuss the changing face of collectors, the importance of personal connections, and how art fairs bring the community together in ways that galleries or online platforms simply can't match.

Plus, we unveil how Gallery View CRM is expanding its impact—not just for galleries, but for art fair organisers, event committees, and exhibition teams—providing an intuitive, dynamic solution to manage contacts, sales, and relationships all in one place.

🎙️ Whether you're a collector, artist, gallerist, or event organiser, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

In this exciting episode of The Gallery View Podcast, we dive deep into the world of artist-led exhibitions with George Herbert, the Marketing Manager for Art Space. With over 13 years of experience in the art world, George offers invaluable insights into the planning, challenges, and marketing strategies involved in organising a first-time artist-led exhibition.

The episode kicks off with a discussion on the inspiration behind the title "Vision to Venue", as George shares what makes this exhibition unique compared to traditional gallery-curated shows. We explore the artist-led approach, the decision-making behind artist selection, and the challenges of balancing creative freedom with the logistical demands of bringing an exhibition to life.

As the conversation moves forward, George reveals the marketing strategies being employed to promote the exhibition, from social media and PR to partnerships and outreach to collectors. We also touch on the digital tools helping to enhance audience engagement, with a particular focus on the role of CRM systems in managing client relationships and facilitating online previews.

The final segment of the episode focuses on the expectations for the exhibition, including how success is measured in terms of attendance, sales, and artist exposure. George also shares key lessons learned throughout the planning process and offers advice for galleries considering hosting their own artist-led exhibitions.

As George and Lotte discussed, the success of an artist-led exhibition doesn't end when the event wraps up. To truly capitalise on the connections made and sales opportunities, it's essential to have a solid system for post-event engagement. This is where Gallery View CRM comes in. With its tailored tools for managing client relationships and tracking sales, Gallery View CRM helps galleries stay organised and maintain meaningful connections long after the exhibition has ended. Whether it's sending personalised follow-ups, managing new leads, or tracking ongoing sales, Gallery View CRM ensures that your gallery continues to grow and thrive well beyond the event itself.

If you're an art gallery owner or enthusiast looking to explore the world of artist-led exhibitions, this episode is packed with essential insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear George's thoughts on how to successfully transition from vision to venue and ensure your exhibition makes an unforgettable impact.
