The Art-X Company is hiring for their client 1838 by Time of India a Gallery and Artist Relations for their new vertical Art of India. We are looking for someone to own gallery and artist relations. Every work that hangs at Art of India comes through a relationship with an artist, an estate or a gallery.

For five editions those relationships have been rebuilt around one exhibition each year, and you make them permanent. You also take on the hardest question in the plan. Galleries have shown with Art of India for free, and the year-round business asks some of them to pay.

You make that worth it by offering something new rather than charging for what they have always had.
