An art gallery manager may work underneath the gallery director or owner but will still have responsibility for the commercial and artistic success of the gallery.
The role of art gallery manager demands a combination of artistic awareness, business acumen, interpersonal skills and practical abilities.
The art market continues to diversify to include more regional artist-led spaces with a variety of different types of galleries. Despite this, spending some time in a gallery in London or another large city may be necessary for managers to widen their job opportunities.
