Did some searching around. What I'm hearing on ArtScuttlebutt is that this is a vanity gallery, and not worth a major financial investment on your part. They aren't necessarily illegal, and, yes, people do sometimes get discovered through vanity presses. But the reality of most vanity outlets is their business model is based on getting money FROM artists, not helping artists sell. Many have little to no advertising or contacts. So I'm sorry to say, but this seems a bad idea for you. Get yourself into gallery spaces that don't charge you a huge fee. Check your local area, too!
