answer:Hey, BronxLens, way to go. After looking for one, you decided to open your own, huh? Awesome. There are some specific tips from insiders on the Web. Here is ehow. There are several others if you google How to open an art gallery. I would also recommend the Small Business Administration as a resource. They have lots of programs and advice including some help with financing. There is a program if you have unused unemployment benefits to get those in a lump sum to start a business. It’s a heck of a lot of work, but can be a great joy too. Wishing you much success.
