Or you are one of many people who think that art galleries are limited to the extremely wealthy and highly educated class only? 

Once you understand what an art gallery is and how it operates, your perspective about this place will definitely change. Here is an overview of what an art gallery is.

An art gallery is a place where art in all its visual forms is shown and displayed for the public to see. Art galleries may present paintings, sculptures, pictures, drawings and pottery created by individual artist or groups of artists. The main function of these places is to promote art works and their artists, but with the end goal of it being sold to profit. 

Some artworks displayed are not directly owned by the gallery but consigned to them by the owner of the piece. Consignment is a common practice in today’s art market. It is an agreement where the artist or the owner of an artwork allows the gallery to display his/her artwork in the hopes that it will attract buyers.
