Very Private Gallery
Hi! We’re Mo Li and Greg Bot,
the duo behind Very Private Gallery. As partners in both life and business, we craft articles and videos to help artists make a living without wasting time with the opacity and myths permeating the art industry. We share our knowledge and experience and discuss tips and strategies through get-together talks in the community. Finally, these theories are applied with hands-on online coaching and an artist residency program we host in Madrid.
