A gallery is a space or building dedicated to displaying art, photographs, or other visual works. Galleries can be public or private and often feature exhibitions that showcase the work of various artists. They serve as a platform for artists to present their creations to the public and can also host events, workshops, and educational programs. In addition to traditional art galleries, there are also specialized galleries that focus on specific types of art, such as photography, sculpture, or contemporary art. Some galleries may also sell artwork, allowing collectors to purchase pieces directly from the artists or through the gallery.
