gallerists
Gallery business operators
Gallerists are people who own or operate art galleries, particularly those that exhibit and sell contemporary art.
The term distinguishes gallery professionals who actively curate, promote, and develop artists' careers from mere shopkeepers or dealers who simply buy and sell work.
A gallerist typically maintains long-term relationships with artists and plays a role in shaping taste and building markets for their work.
The gallerists on that street have transformed the neighborhood into an arts district.
