Not professional artists (in the UK)? Curation is a separate skill, and you're paying through the nose for the gallery's services, usually.

it depends, but i tried to sell my paintings at local galleries and some wanted me to do things like that
Are you a professional [earning most of your money through your art]? Which country do you live in please?

I've only seen the self-curation from community groups. I'm all for collectives but I'm pretty sure the professional artists I know would say it gives off budget/desperate vibes and so it's something you can't afford to do if you aspire to 'make it [big]'.
