In the entryway of anonymous gallery, a wall adjacent to the designated greeting area will be activated by a single artwork of an emerging artist or art collective. This presentation will run alongside the current exhibition schedule at the gallery, and will remain visible for one month.

This presentation aptly called first impression, will engage our audience and the general public with a single work on view. first impression, aims to share knowledge and insight of carefully considered artists outside of our gallery roster, while also focusing on a need for diverse representation of artists.

With our depth in understanding of both the contemporary art market and underground art scene at anonymous gallery. This project aims to both propel visibility of the artist (and sales) while strengthening anonymous gallery's public image, with being trusted as having our finger on the pulse, in the minds of the next generation of collectors and established collectors alike. In doing so, we will shed light on underrepresented artists that collectors of all levels will be glad to discover.

first impression will operate solely as a network within the gallery to elevate an artists practice through presentation of a single piece, similar to a preview install with a vip, our presentation will be hidden in plain sight for all. There will be no wall text accompanying the artwork, only a one paged pdf with the artists or art collectives name, standard information on the work and a brief bio will be provided upon request.
