Art shows sometimes can be nerve-wrecking, because for some of them we have to fill out an application. We have to wait to see if we will be partaking in the event. If it is an art show that has a party along with it or a festive theme more people come to see the art. Sometimes though it is all about how much you as an artist promote the event and your work. Every time I prepare myself for an art show whether it is in my hometown or I am traveling to it -- 'I say to myself I will be happy if I sell one or if someone is interested in my work.' I try to make sure I relax and remember that it is a process becoming an ARTIST ---- it does not happen over night and never give up. Another key thing to remember is to always be patient when people begin asking you about your work. You might get the same question over and over again. The more you are willing to talk to people about your work, the more they will want to work with you as an artist and as a person.
Some of my gold and silver work you might see at the Art Show in North Carolina!

Deletebeautiful work, I love going to art shows and will recognize your work when I see it! Love your tones and texture. (Fellow NC gal here!)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool you are from NC also. I from Alabama but I go to NC a lot to show my work during vacation trips.
DeleteI love going to local art shows! As a watercolorist, I agree that we, as artists, need to be open to talking to people about it and not be hurt or offended if people don't buy it. I'm kind of like you, if I can just inspire one person to appreciate art.. then that's pretty great.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love watercolor. I wish I was better at painting with them. It always looks like a blob of color when I finish so that is why I took up photography and use experimental printing to help print my work!
DeleteI love going to art shows to see all of the local talent!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
