I would like to support the development of fine arts in our society and so have established a non-profit foundation that will promote student art, arrange gallery exhibitions and build international networks in Europe of art schools, art students, galleries, exhibition spaces and art investors. The aim is to provide art students will real experience in promoting, exhibiting and marketing their art in order to accelerate the development of their reputation as young, talented artists.

I think that is a stellar idea, otherwise art students would not get the opportunity to display their talents in a gallery atmosphere. Are you asking how you will manage to do this venture and want ideas on how to accomplish it ?

Tick, thanks for your words of encouragement. I have spoken with a number of local art schools who are keen to encourage their students to submit their art works for periodic exhibitions, and I have 2-3 spaces available who could host temporary exhibitions. What I am not sure about is how to attract lots of people to the exhibitions, people who would be keen to support the students with advice, networking contacts and actual purchases. Any thoughts are welcomed.
