Very Private Gallery
VPG is an artist-focused platform that aims to cut through art industry opacity and myths. Our aim is to help artists and art professionals build a sustainable practice. What we offer:
Practical articles and videos on sales channels, content marketing, photography, and communication strategy. Our editorial stance favors constructive analysis over hype. Because we are self-funded and independent, we are able to provide neutral content.
Residency + Coaching: Join the first artist residency with a focus on the business and marketing side of an artist/entrepreneur. It enhances your communication skills and builds self-reliance. We pair studio work with direct teaching. It covers their portfolio, documentation, statements, and outreach. 1-on-1 coaching is also available online.
The community consists primarily of artists and art professionals who utilize VPG’s resources to build sustainable careers. We gather through a forum and get-together talks to focus on pragmatic advice rather than aesthetic critique.
