Testimonials by Former and Current Artist-Clients

“Duke Ellington was once asked how he managed to always be growing in his legendary musical career. He replied, “every time a phase in my career seemed to come to a halt and I was at a crossroad and didn’t know where I should go, someone would come into my life and point me in the right direction and everything turned out just right.” Katharine T. Carter has always been that person for me. Time and time again. Museum show after museum show. Gallery show after gallery show. In the cloistered world of Fine Art, Katharine is part high priestess, part Obi-Wan Kenobi, part genteel Southern lady and part New York tough gal. She walks in rarified places in the Art World and the artists that are lucky enough to be associated with her, walk with her. What more could you ask for?

Since 2003 Katharine T. Carter and Associates have shepherded me and my work through nineteen exhibitions. All venues were courteous and professional, and took good care of my work. On several occasions, KTC gave me contact information at venues, and I was able to attend openings and give gallery talks. Additionally, I have made a several visits to art museums and universities, giving public talks, visiting artist workshops, and even presenting to public school teachers. Because of Katharine's representation, I have developed and matured as an artist and also as a person.

Katharine T. Carter has made it much more productive and satisfying to be a fine artist, which I have been for 30 years. Her professional and quality approach has assisted me in getting a number of major museum exhibitions. Without her leading the way I may never have gotten these exhibitions. I always am enthusiastic to open any e-mail Katharine sends as it often contains the name of a curator or director who has expressed an interest in my work to her. I know that some of my best exhibitions have been in locations Katharine has recommended. I plan on continuing to let Katharine T. Carter represent me in the search and placement of my work.

“Challenged by my fluctuations in my creative and artistic series, you have continued to stick with me through the years…yes, it has been 12 years! You have been amazing from the start, with your encouragement and energy, with your enthusiasm for my work, with your tireless persistence in searching for new venues that have presented me each time in a better and better light. Starting with your workshops that have fired me into new levels, you have gone on to provide me and your other clients with numerous services, venues and encouragement in this vast artistic territory. For taking me under your professional wing…Thank you.”

“Although I was a mature artist working in Ireland and The United Kingdom, my career was at a crossroads and I needed someone to point me in the right direction. Engaging Katharine T. Carter and Associates was the stimulus I needed. Within a year she organized exhibitions all across the United States in museums, galleries and universities. Her catalogue of my tour was much admired in Europe and because of Katharine’s contacts I was asked to show my work in The National Museum Of China in Beijing. Her introduction to her talented associates helped to forge new friendships and many of them came to visit my studios in Europe. I have so many happy memories of William Zimmer and myself trudging the streets of Morocco and Granada . I am now a much more established painter because of Katharine and I will always be eternally grateful to her.”

“I have been pleased to work with Katharine T. Carter in the museum placement program for 2 years. The high caliber venues where she has scheduled my solo exhibitions have been wonderful to work with. The immediate community validation from exhibiting at these respected institutions has made it easy to get newspaper and web-published articles on my work. It also gave me the credibility to procure gallery representation in some of the locations. I recommend this program to artists who are ready to branch out and explore a serious nationwide audience for their work.”

I met Katharine Carter in 2007 for a portfolio review of my just completed Seascapes series of photographs. With her many years of experience in the art world, her positive response to my work gave me the confidence to continue my journey as a fine-art photographer. I have worked with Katharine Carter & Associates since then, and with her support and experience have added numerous credits to my resume, including published work, solo gallery and museum exhibitions. My Seascapes exhibition at the Alden B. Dow Museum in Midland, Michigan was visited by over 20,000 people. Katharine’s sincerity, dedication and effort goes way beyond her contractual obligations. It has been a great pleasure working with her and her talented team.

“Katharine does exactly what she says she's going to do. She told me she could get me museum shows; I got more than I ever hoped for. She is thoroughly professional and takes care of business down to the smallest detail. It's a big commitment on your part, and one you should not take lightly, but if museum placement is the next hurdle in your career, Katharine's got you covered.”

“I engaged Katharine T. Carter & Associates to represent me in securing museum exhibitions in the United States. Although I was a new artist without exhibiting experience, Katharine and her associates were able to secure many exhibitions in a very short period of time. This resulted in my having an almost continuous showing of my work around the country at different museums for 2+ years, together with corresponding reviews in local publications, including the Los Angeles Times. In addition to their advise and guidance, Katharine T. Carter & Associates assisted me in creating a brochure of my work, together with an essay from a prominent critic, which I was able to use to help in securing commercial gallery placement and representation in several cities, including New York and San Francisco. Katharine T. Carter & Associates apply a level of professionalism and integrity that excels in all their work with artists and art organizations.”

“After knowing Katharine for four years now, I know her to be a woman of her word.  Everything she has promised, she has delivered. It’s because of her that things that were just dreams for me are now realities.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for the good advice you gave me and the exhibitions you arranged during the years that you represented me. The 14 solo shows you organized in states from California to Washington, DC far exceeded you contractual agreement and certainly brought new attention and respect to further my career. It is my pleasure to recommend your services to other artists who are looking for serious career development.”

“Katharine T. Carter & Associates have been instrumental in promoting my career. Shortly, after meeting Katharine, she arranged interviews with art critics from Art News, Art in America, and The New York Times. Katharine’s team put together a great catalog and in the first year booked four museum shows. My art career is rapidly moving forward due to the KTC team of professionals.”

“Your commitment to the placement of my work in venue upon museum venue throughout the United States accompanied by an extraordinarily professional promotional campaign that only you and the Associates could have mounted far exceeded my expectations and became a major impetus in moving my career to new levels. You have my continued admiration for your tenacious efforts in securing the museums. The thorough execution of all our endeavors was carried out by you and the Associates with great integrity. I remain proud of our association and indebted to you for all that you have achieved on my behalf and thank you for paving the road of my career development.”

“The Katharine T. Carter organization has consistently succeeded in obtaining exhibitions for me at quality institutions. The marketing materials prepared by their organization are of superb quality. The strategy of always following up results in establishing and maintaining a personal relationship between the organization and the corresponding museum or gallery. I am very grateful for their thoughtful and professional services on my behalf.”

“The services provided by Katharine T. Carter & Associates helped my career move to a new level. The museum exhibitions created both energy and interest in my paintings – which gave curators, dealers and clients more confidence in my work. The promotional catalogue with essay by a leading critic and produced by KTC increased sales and provided a better understanding of the work.”
