How to Create a Home Art Gallery

Have you always dreamed of having your own art gallery? Is there an artist or a style of art that you love passionately? If so, you are in the enviable position of knowing all you need to know to create your own home gallery. Then you will be in a position to expand your collection and enjoy the rewards of art ownership.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Passion for art

1. Find your true love. In your home art gallery, you have complete control over the theme and type of art to display. Find a style or medium that you love and learn all you can about it.
2. Choose the room you will use to display your art and paint the walls white. Using white walls in your home art gallery will allow you and your visitors to focus on the art.
3. Start buying. As you find pieces you love, bring them home for your gallery.
4. Keep records. As your collection expands, you will need to keep written and/or computer records of every piece of art you add. Track where and when you purchased it and from whom.
5. Add lighting. Install small spotlights to shine on your favorite art pieces. This draws visitor's eyes directly to those pieces.
6. Share your art. Invite family and friends to your home gallery to enjoy your collection. When you add new pieces to your collection, have a party or a small dinner.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't let anyone tell you what to buy or not to buy. Art is completely subjective and your taste is as valid as anyone else's.
