Sometimes we wish we could go back in time and give advice to ourselves as a younger artist, such as words of encouragement or tips to start growing an audience right out of art school.
Today I've got a video for you sharing advice that my younger artist self would have loved to get a little earlier than I actually did, which may be right on time for your art journey now!
No two art careers ever look exactly the same, but if you'd like some guidance navigating your own personal artistic journey, pop over to my website and check out all the different (and surprisingly affordable!) mentorship opportunities I have available for you.
In a nutshell…
1. Gallery representation is far from the only way to make it as an artist
2. Begin building up your own name recognition as soon as possible
3. Create your own collaborative events or happenings
4. Learn skills like marketing and bookkeeping
5. Be your own best advocate - get excited about your artwork!
6. Only take advice from other successful creatives on the path you wish to take
7. Say 'yes!' to as many artistic opportunities as possible
8. Be active in your local artistic community
9. Build up other digital skills to showcase your work in the best ways possible
10. Never stop learning and honing your skills - seek outside help when you need it!
And when you are ready for a little outside help of your own, check out the variety of mentorship packages I offer to assist in any stage along your artistic journey.
