#119 PATRICIA ROVZAR

Jun 10, 2026

Most artists wonder, at some point, what it really takes to walk through a gallery’s doors and be welcomed in. Join Coach Marji in a candid conversation with gallery owner Patricia Rovzar for a real, inside look at the artist-gallery relationship, what actually gets a gallerist’s attention, how artists come onto a gallery’s radar, and what happens behind the scenes. Patricia shares openly about timing and readiness, common missteps to avoid, and where your energy is best spent right now if you’re thinking about representation.

  2. Amazing interview Marji! Thank you so much for this as it was packed full with information! I am so grateful that Patricia was willing to share it all including the red flags. I did approach some galleries but had to pause to work on other things. My hope is to take this great advice with me as I build relationships with galleries! 🙂
