Art Galleries Today
What is the purpose of an Art Gallery?
Art Galleries are often buildings, but sometimes can be spaces, that exhibit a large variety of artworks. The key difference between an Art Gallery and an Art Museum is that Museums actually own the art that is displayed. While galleries are commonly used to exhibit the a collection of works that belong to a person not associated with the Gallery, in most cases the collection would belong to an artist, but it’s not unknown for some private owners to showcase their collections.
Galleries aren’t restricted purely to traditional Art and can be used to house other artistic concepts, such as performance art, music concerts and poetry readings.
