Gallery Owners and Directors

Work Environment

Most art galleries are pleasant, intellectually engaging places to work, and owners and directors often have comfortable offices. Most art galleries are open five or more days a week. They are typically open during regular business hours, but many offer extended hours in the evening. Owners and directors often work as many as 50 to 60 hours a week.

Some gallery owners and directors may travel to visit artists' studios, attend auctions, or participate in museum/art history conferences.
