How To Behave At a Gallery

If you have children along, remind them not to touch anything and keep them close to you.

Do not be loud inside or call to a friend across the room.

Upon entering a gallery, scan the space as you move through the door, considering how you want to approach the artwork while not clogging up traffic.

When not directly viewing a work, step aside and let others see it.

If there are complimentary food and beverages available, feel free to partake, but tip if you’re able.

Don’t get caught gawking too much at other gallery-goers, no matter how pretty, handsome, or outlandish they may be.

If there’s a remote possibility the artist is present, refrain from making any critical comments.

Never say, “I could do that.” Chance are you can’t.

Should you have any questions, feel free to direct them to the artist or gallery owner. If you get a chance to meet them, thank them for having the show.
