: Wydaje mi się, że niekoniecznie właściciele - oni często wynajmują lokale organizatorom wystaw.

shady/unscupulous/sordid art peddlers
With the benefit of the additional clue, I am proposing "art peddlers."
If they are also cheats, then they are also art swindlers.
For honest ones, gallery owners is fine. Art dealers is more comprehensive.

Example sentence:
Not one to usually accept the kindness of strangers I looked over to the left only to see the young art peddler from outside smiling at me
You are not an art peddler: you are an art dealer, which requires a relationship on an ongoing basis.

: ! Idealnie oddaje całą okoliczność. Nie trzeba już używać np. "wyrachowani (...)". || Right. You gave anyway a brilliant, ready to apply, in the context, phrase.

Thanks, JacaZwawa. "Shady" applies to all things in the "murky" region between the right and wrong. I, however, hope it is a thin line.

Polish term (edited):
wyrachowani galerzyści
smooth gallery operators
operator
3. a person or company that operates a particular business
4. someone who is good at achieving things by persuading people to help or agree with them:
He may not look it, but Newman is a smooth operator (=someone who is good at persuading people but who you feel you cannot trust).
http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/operator
"Smooth operator" to idiomatyczne wyrażenie - po dodaniu "gallery" uzyskujemy dwuznaczne, ale przejrzyście dwuznaczne, sformułowanie, chyba dobrze wpasowujące się w kontekst.

Szczerze mówiąc nie wiem, kto to "galerzysta"; czuję, że to taki, który specjalizuje się w wystawianiu "kogoś", a nie - w wystawianiu "czegokolwiek" ...
Natomiast, Shade tak miłośnie i sentymentalnie śpiewa ... Smooooth opereejteeer ;) -- no to jak galerzystów można tak negatywnie kojarzyć ??? ;)
