After a little investigating, I found that the Bert Green Fine Art Gallery will review artist's portfolios for showing.

Here are the submission guidelines: http://www.bgfa.us/pages/about.html



I would recommend going to each gallery web site and looking under the contact info. You can find a list of all Los Angeles Art Galleries at http://art-collecting.com/galleries_ca_losangeles.htm

I use to make stained glass and found a really great way to start selling my work was to begin locally at art festivals. You do pay for a booth but you do not have to pay for advertisement and the crowd will already be there, especially if it is a popular event that has been around for several years. Many times store owners and perhaps gallery owners will come to these events and approach you, this is where you get the chance to network and have potential buyers.
This website has a list of many festivals in CA and other areas: www.artandcraftshows.net.
You may also want to contact your local Chamber of Commerce and see if they know of any local festivals.
You might also want to consider the possibility of selling wholesale, however, when you make something yourself it is very difficult to sell it for less than you know that it is worth.
Hope this helps

Group shows are not as hard to get into, but target your approach to galleries that take mixed media, collage or mosaic art. You may want to try the Hive downtown in the 700 block of Spring Street, they're open to a large variety of artists and Nathan Cartwright there may have some idea of other galleries open to new artists in mixed media works.
