I thought this a great place to start ..with there being artist from all around the world on here! And I have asked them some more questions as well and awaiting there reply!
Happy Shooting, Carla

Carla, I have to agree with Chuck. Get as much info as possible. This is what I found out for you on AOL. Apparently, as you’ll see in part II, they auction off your work. This just doesn’t sound kosher to me. Just a thought here, why don’t you do what Katagram does and see if there is a local shop that features a differenent artist every month & try to get your work in. Go to Katagram page and you’ll see what she’s doing. Just trying to help.

About Galerie St. George

Galerie St. George (“GSG”) was founded in July, 2007 by photographer Gary Brant. GSG opened its doors as a cooperative artists gallery on September 20th, 2008 with the work of Portuguese sculptor George Pissarro, and has since expanded to include both local New York City and international artists working in a wide variety of mediums and styles.

Our spacious facilities include both a main gallery, gallery annex, video theatre and an expansive sculpture garden on the grounds of a historic landmark 1885 Victorian estate built by 19th century industrialist Anson Phelps-Stokes. A 10-minute walk from the Staten Island Ferry, GSG is conveniently accessible from all of New York City’s five boroughs.

Galerie St. George is working with young, emerging artists both in America and in the U.K., Europe and Australia.

In July, 2009, GSG announced the appointment of directors both in England and in Australia in order to develop emerging artists’ careers in each and build their audience in America.

GSG also just introduced a new program “Discovery”, which is bringing forward new and little-known artists whose work deserves attention.

Galerie St. Geoge is located at: 11 Phelps Place, Staten Island, New York 10301 USA, and is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. or by appointment. We welcome your call at anytime: 718.390.0130 or on SKYPE: “galstg” for further information.
