You could try a call and say I sent some info can I check if the right person (i.e. the decision maker) got it and if not could you speak to them and send stuff directly.

alternatively post them some samples then call to see if they got them, its hard slog but once your in with these types you tend to be in unless your stuff really doesn't sell.


Did the prep work WVG, called to get the Manager/buyers name before sending anything.

I'll follow up before the end of this week.

As you say, I guess the trick is not to take it personally

It's really a question of whether you want to get into those galleries or not. I have had trouble with a few private places too. I just give up on those that are too much hard work as I might as well spend less time and effort on easier ones. I find selling direct through shows and farmers markets (perhaps craft or artists fairs for you) works well, but I expect you already do that.
