Is there anything you DON'T want in your venue? IE: If it's a public space, you may not be able to have nudity etc. You may also have strong beliefs that are important to you that make you not a good candidate for some types of artists.(Required)

What is the submission process? (better to email you, send a website, wait for an open call, or meet you in person with their art, for example.)(Required)

Do you have an exclusivity policy for the art you accept? For example, do you prioritize or require submissions that are unique to your gallery and not displayed elsewhere in the area?

Are you open to having a future meet and greet or another event with artists/Show Your Art? (a low key event where artists show up and take a look at the space, talk with you about how best to work with you. I would be there too to moderate.) If so, I'll reach out to you at a later time.
