Loiter Galleries fills a void. Mainly, serving the various needs of the underserved artists and business districts hit hard during and before the pandemic. The programs we develop assist both these communities directly. For the artists, we supply affordable gallery showcases, marketing, supplies, meeting space, art business advice, and emotional support. And we aid local property owners by converting dark, empty spaces with art and positive activity. Artists finally have a venue to display their art and receive the support they need to learn how to be successful. The property owners sell/lease their spaces more quickly via the brightness, activity, and popularity of our projects.
Another core audience naturally, are art lovers and supporters. We serve them by presenting them with artists we discover and who are out of the mainstream. Although some of our artists are established, the shows they create tend to be more adventurous and push the boundaries. This occurs through our direction and collaboration.
Many of our visitors have never been in a gallery previously.
We decide which artists to feature and support through various criteria.
One, is need. As mentioned, we support underserved artists, so we start by interviewing local artist whose art speaks to us and the Loiter brand. We review all the artist’s needs, CVs and work and then make a decision on who to feature in the gallery. But our support moves beyond just a showing at the gallery. Even those who for whatever reason do not show at the gallery still receive support from the gallery. This includes marketing, supplies, meeting space, art business advice, and emotional support.

Artists are paid though in-kind support mentioned above, sales and in some instances stipends.
