Almost half (44%) of galleries are booming, but the rest (26%) are facing some serious challenges. What's going on? Think small businesses with a big impact! Most French galleries are like cozy shops, representing around 22 artists each. They champion contemporary art, but mainly focus on selling new works. Only a few deal with older, established pieces. Here's the shocker: while 44% of galleries are pulling in profits, a quarter are running in the red. This split shows the ups and downs many galleries face. Growth, decline, or somewhere in between? The news isn't all bad! 24% of galleries reported growth this year, but 8% saw a decline. This mix proves how important it is for galleries to be adaptable and creative to stay ahead in the ever-changing art world. So, how can galleries stay ahead? 👉 Utilize social media and online platforms to showcase art and connect with a wider audience. 👉Host unique events, offer virtual tours, or collaborate with other businesses. 👉Support artists through workshops and marketing initiatives. 👉Offer educational programs and events to attract new art lovers. What do YOU think? How can art galleries stay relevant and exciting in today's world? #FrenchArt #GalleryLife #LetsTalkArt

As you might know, sometimes I create scents for art exhibitions. So, when I attend immersive exhibitions that incorporate scent, I’m particularly interested in observing visitor behavior. Here’s what I’ve noticed: 1. People dislike complex actions and instructions: if something requires effort they weren’t prepared for, they’re likely to skip to the next, simpler exhibit. 2. If you want people to smell something, it needs to be as convenient and accessible as possible. 3. People enjoy smelling walls. It’s simple, convenient, and reminiscent of “scratch and sniff” magazine inserts. 4. Large exhibitions can be tiring, and visitors tend to move more quickly through the displays as time goes on. The same goes for descriptive texts: the first few are read carefully, but attention wanes with each subsequent text. Therefore, if an artist needs to convey something important, it’s best to place it at the beginning. 5. It seems that most visitors still aren’t used to immersive projects, retaining the habit of “don’t touch anything” in museums. So, if you want visitors to touch, smell, or shout something, there should be a prominent sign inviting or permitting them to do so. #scents #exhibitions #immersiveexperience
