"Nationally Recognized Gallery Owner Advises Ohio Area Artists on How to Avoid Common Mistakes When Approaching Galleries for Representation"

Many people may not know that in an average week a gallery owner is approached by as many as twenty to thirty-five artists looking for gallery representation. Most of these artists are turned away, their lack of success due to making one of six easily avoidable mistakes. Jason Horejs, owner of Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ, has experienced the trials and tribulations of aspirant artists for the past eight years, and today he uses his extensive knowledge of the art world to help thousands of artistic hopefuls turn their passion for art into a profitable career.

Published in 2009, Horejs' first book, "Starving" to Successful: The Fine Artist's Guide to Getting into Galleries and Selling More Art, was written as a valuable tool to help artists achieve success through their work. The efficacious entrepreneur also conducts a series of workshops across the U.S. each year that provide emerging painters, sculptors, and the like with an understanding of the art business from a gallery owner's perspective, while also addressing a wide range of obstacles that artists inevitably face on their path to success.

"I just came back from doing a one-day invitational art show in Baja, Mexico," wrote Dan McGeorge of San Diego, California, a few weeks after attending a workshop. "It was a great success with four large pieces sold," he went on. "The best part is that two of the pieces were purchased by a gallery owner from Lake Tahoe for a gallery there...and she wants to see more of my work! I never would have made these moves or understood them without your seminar."

The "Starving" to Successful workshop provides an artist with the tools needed to present their work confidently and professionally while forming lasting successful relationships with the galleries they aspire to be a part of. Artists interested in attending Jason Horejs' next workshop, which will be held in Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, Ohio, on September 8th, 9th, and 11th can learn more by visiting www.xanadugallery.com/register. Jason looks forward to helping hundreds more artists this year to reach their full potential and gain the professional recognition that they desire.
