Do You Really Need a Gallery?

There have been a lot of changes in my life this week. And mostly they have been related to both brick and mortar and on-line galleries and competitions. So I am throwing this question out there for any artist that wonders by. Do you think in this economy, Artists really need a physical gallery? Or, is an on-line presence just as good as a physical presence in these days of everyone owning some means of accessing the internet, from Blackberry's to laptops, to ye olde desk top computer? What are your thoughts on this?
