Alternative Models to Artistic Success
A Panel Discussion presented by New Mexico Lawyers for the Arts
The Santa Fe Art Institute: Tipton Hall
Presenters: Cyndi Conn, Samantha Paige Furgason, Ric Lum.

The art gallery exists as the main point of sale for most fine artists, the interface
between the public and their art. However, is this still the most viable method of
selling art in today’s connected world? Please join us for a thoughtful panel discussion, which will focus on the place of technology, pop-up shops, retail venues, art, shows, the internet and pop-up curation as alternative vehicles for promoting and selling art. This panel will explore Jerry Saltz’ recent article on the “Death of the Gallery” and other bloggers’responses to the role of the gallery in the digital world. The panel will bring together experts and entrepreneurs to discuss the many ways in which art can be displayed outside of gallery walls and brought to the forefront of the public’s collective awareness.
