    Be wary of these guys they are what is known as a "vanity gallery" - they charge a large fee for you to exhibit them and will show any old art regardless of quality.

    Yeah I got approached by them & when the fee to exhibit came up I said no way. They tried to say ti was basically the only way to get your art into NY, but it's such a risk & wouldn't look good on the aul CV to be honest as I'm sure they're well known for that in NY
