Agora Gallery from NYC, has contacted me about representation. I find it a little strange sinced they are on the East Coast, and I am on the West Coast, and have not done any self promotion. They are talking about an annual fee for services/representation. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of, or dealt with them.
Sadly, yes - Chris, use the Search engine above for previous threads on this questionable place -

Chris,
Many of these galleries send out emails blasts with out addressing us by our first name. Anything that doesn't is junk mail.

Chris,
LOL! I also have been contacted by Angora Gallery, several times over the years. This is what s called a "vanity gallery." They charge you money for exhibiting for with them. They make their money from the artists, not from selling the artists work. As Sandy said do a search for pervious threads but also do a Google search, there is a lot on the web about them. I would not go near them.
