As a career services agency, my primary business model is in preparing executives and professionals to compete for and land the best jobs through development of Strategic Resumes, Targeted Cover Letters, Enhanced LinkedIn Profiles, One-on-One Career Coaching, and Job-Winning Interview Skills. However, on occasion, I have been contracted to find talent for my B2B clients. That process has absolutely involved selecting the appropriate marketing channels (ZipRecruiter, Indeed, LinkedIn, professional association portals, local media outlets, and occasionally Craigslist). Relying on only one source is not generally advisable, but may work for some. If you take advantage of the various job boards and portals, finding dozens of nominally qualified applicants is not particularly difficult... Finding "Right Fit" candidates who are likely to succeed in their new positions is much more challenging. This is simply because the best potential employees are more often than not, already working. This is why recruiters primarily use assertive research and referrals to source candidates. Since I have 25 years in the professional resume writing and career coaching field, I also have built a database of tens of thousands of top performers (mostly former clients) in my market area (South Louisiana) who I can contact to see if they are interested in a specific opportunity. To make good hires, my firm has developed a proprietary, multi-step pre-interview screening process that, for the most part, eliminates no shows and substandard applicants, while maintaining full compliance with hiring laws. In summary, use a wide "all of the above" funnel to attract candidates, then be sure you have an effective and efficient screening process to arrive at a "short list" of finalists.

Just yesterday, I spoke to a good friend who sold her first sculpture for USD $1,000... through a gallery! My answer to your question is to do both gallery and self-promotion... Having your work displayed prominently in a well-regarded gallery is a plus, not only to to hopefully sell the work(s), but also because you can list it under "Galleries & Exhibitions" in your bio and promotional materials. Potential buyers of art are often impressed and motivated by learning that others have faith in and appreciate your work. Try to get favorable quotations and testimonials from those who have purchased your works, from art critics, and from gallery owners. You should also do research to ensure that a particulat gallery is reputable, that your art will be safe, and that the gallery pays promptly and fairly for sold pieces. On the other hand, don't put all of your eggs in the gallery basket. Self-promotion through a variety of methods and venues is absolutely recommended. We all know that an emerging artist's life is filled with challenges, but with talent, a bit of luck, and a ton of hard work, you can make it!
I prefer "would" in general... although specific situations may call for one or the other.
