Mutual Respect Between Artists and Galleries with Katherine Hébert (244)

Working with a gallery means putting your art, reputation, and trust in someone else's hands.

That relationship can be transformative (or tense) depending on how it's managed on either side.

In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield talks with Katherine Hébert, founder of Gallery Fuel, which helps small and mid-size galleries strengthen their businesses.

Katherine has seen both sides of the artist–gallery dynamic and knows what helps these relationships thrive: communication, transparency, and mutual respect.

You'll hear:

  • What mutual respect between artists and galleries looks like.
  • How to establish trust early in the relationship.
  • Why open communication prevents power imbalances throughout the evolution of the relationship.
  • What "trust signals" artists send through professionalism and follow-through.
  • The role of regular check-ins and collaborative planning.
