  1. 01

    Visit

    Go to a local gallery on 15 August. A long-established space or a new independent one — either will do. Take the time to look.

  2. 02

    Thank

    Thank a gallerist who has supported an artist you admire. Say it in the room, or say it online.

  3. 03

    Open the doors

    Galleries can mark the day with open doors, artist talks, special viewings, or a look behind the scenes at how they stand behind the artists they represent.

  4. 04

    Tell the story

    Artists can share the story of the gallery that first believed in them.

  5. 05

    Share the visit

    Put the visit where other people will see it, and follow the campaign on Facebook.
