Business Plan Questionnaire

  1. Have you ever been to a small private gallery, and if so what did and didn’t you like about it?
  2. Did it have a coffee shop/seating area, and how did you find that environment?
  3. Have you ever purchased anything from a gallery before?
  4. Do you view a gallery as a place to look and never buy? What would make you more inclined to buy?
  5. What type of music if any would you like to hear in a gallery?
  6. Would a late night opening apeal, and if so which night?
  7. How much would you like the staff to interact with you?
  8. What type of artwork interests you, and what kind of work have you previously bought?
  9. Would you like a gallery to be a place you can interact and have creative discussions in? Somewhere you can stay for a while and never feel pushed out?
  10. Is there anything else you would like to add?

  1. 1. Yes. Like - Everybody there knew the product the process and generally it is the actual artists. Didn't like - Very different quality some VERY good some VERY poor. You quite know what you are walking into.
    2. Not been to one with a coffee shop, only in bigger more commercial places.
    3. Not from a gallery, direct from the artist... Yes :-)
    4. I'm cheep. Can't afford the originals. Good quality prints!!
    5. Music art?!? Something new/different/local
    6. Yes. Depends where and why. You could make an event out of it. Probably Thursday to Sunday
    7. As much as I asked for!
    8. Clean, crisp and thoughtful. Only direct art previously purchased was from you. Rest has been prints from shops
    9. Yes.
    10. A gallery should change every month. I have found in the past visiting the same place twice can mean seeing the same things twice.

    Hope this helps!!??

  2. 1 - i liked the friendliness and cosiness of the places. i liked the accessability - i didnt feel awkward and out of place like i sometimes o in posh places. i like the excitement of stumbling across some amazing art.
    i didnt like - the feeling that it was noticeable i wasnt buying anything!
    2 - yeah can think of a few with cafes - makes for a lovely relaxed feel and gives a good reason to hang around without feeling pressure to buy.
    3- yip - Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh
    4 - if i had more money!
    5 - accoustic folk stuff - songs with stories and inspirational stuff preferably live with musicians sharing the stories (but thats just my taste)
    6- yeah - wed or fri
    7- friendly - but not too in your face. always like to feel like im part of a place - that its a supportive community - could have good online networks and members evenings etc.
    8- pretty much anything!! love art with a story or meaning
    9 - yes
    10 - i think you could make a go of this :)
