Panel Discussion
Do Artists Still Need Gallery Representation?
Is gallery representation essential to an artist’s career, or can artists thrive without it? Bringing together different perspectives from across the art world, this panel debates the pros and cons of working with a gallery versus going it alone. From access to collectors and career development to commissions, control and creative independence, the discussion will explore the tensions that often define the artist–gallery relationship — and how greater transparency, trust and new ways of working could remove friction and create more equitable partnerships for the future.

The Art World Runs on Relationships. Who Owns Those Relationships Now?
Historically, dealers have acted as the mediators between artists and collectors, but in an age where artists can easily connect with prospective buyers directly, who really owns the relationships that keep the art world moving? This panel explores the symbiosis between artists, collectors and dealers, and whether the level of personal attention offered by some dealers is still economically sustainable.
