Being Seen: Networking for Artists (#148)
Listen now
Description
Meeting people and building relationships is the most important thing you can do for your art career, especially when your goal is to be a full-time artist. This means you have to get out of the studio and socialize. In this solo episode, I discuss: Why everyone you meet is a potential buyer, collector, friend or fan. Where you can network, and why you shouldn’t bother with artist organizations that aren’t a good fit. There are many art worlds. You have to decide where to build your relationships. Why it’s critical to network in real life, not only online. Why it’s important to be authentic and genuinely interested in people. I leave you with a challenge of meeting 1 new person a month. If it’s true that everyone knows about 150 people, imagine the potential from 12 new people a year.
