When you find a work of art that resonates with you and your home, you\’ll want the confidence to take the leap. Mitchell Fine Art in Brisbane offer an essential guide to creating an enjoyable buying experience for novice collectors.
EDUCATE YOURSELF
Visit galleries and museums to discover the artists and the kind of art that you like. Most exhibitions are free, and art should be experienced in person.
SIGN UP TO MAILING LISTS
Receive exhibition information direct into your inbox. Mitchell Fine Art presents a rotating exhibition calendar showcasing a diverse range of artworks. Social media is also a great way to stay informed, so follow your favourite galleries on Instagram and Facebook.
GET INVOLVED
Attending exhibition opening nights and artist talks offers the opportunity to really engage with artists. Mitchell Fine Art offers regular Artist Talks, Director’s Talk and Curator Talks that are free events, and there is time for Q&A’s.
DISCUSS YOUR NEEDS
Don’t be intimidated to discuss your needs or wants. Most galleries have stockrooms where amazing pieces can be discovered. Gallery staff know what they have behind the scenes, and they may also have an idea of what is coming up that might be what you’re looking for. Mitchell Fine Art’s stockroom offers a large range of Aboriginal and Contemporary Australian artworks. If something is not on display it does not mean it’s not available.
ART IS PERSONAL
Don’t feel the need to follow trends. If it is a work of art that you are going to see daily, it must be something you love. However you decide is a completely personal decision.
