    During this summer course, I learned about the operation and context of galleries, the history of art dealing, and the roles within a gallery. Key topics included understanding the primary and secondary markets, building a strong artistic program, selecting artists, and exhibition planning. We also covered setting pricing strategies, managing stock, and maximizing sales. The course delved into the evolving world of art fairs and strategies for leveraging them effectively. Finally, we focused on building long-term client relationships, developing sales tools, and managing dry spells, with insights into investor considerations.
