Hello, welcome to Wikivoyage, and thanks for contributing content.

Please read Wikivoyage:Don't tout, though. An art gallery is a "See" listing, at most, if it's worth listing at all (in cities like New York and Berlin, there are thousands of galleries with art for sale, so very few get listed in a travel guide). Like any other listing, it belongs in one article at most. Also, it's completely inappropriate to provide a promotional bio of an artist. Can you imagine what this site would look like if artists and their friends filled up every locality guide with galleries in it with promotional bios of artists who are shown there, and even worse, duplicated them in the article of a nearby city? It would become a useless repository of promotional artist bios and cease to be useful for travellers.

I have relatives and friends who are visual artists and work in the arts myself, so I'm definitely sympathetic with the impulse to promote your work or the work of a friend or relative, but this is absolutely the wrong place to promote anyone.

All the best,
