Thank you so much for showing interest in our Gallery. Unfortunately we are already booked for this show, but I would be grateful if you could send me more information about yourself (email, phone number, etc) so that we can plan something for future shows.
Your work is truly wonderful and we would be extremely excited about doing something with you.
Warm regards,
Galeria de Arte
