The charts breaking down this article is such a phenomenal touch to your writing. It scratches my logical brain so well, this is way more helpful than the advice I’ve gotten instructing me to be “delusional” and just “believe in yourself super hard!” There is a strategic, business side of the art world. Martin’s story is so inspiring to me, I was also thinking of putting on my own art shows locally. Thank you for telling her story and synthesizing this info!!!
I am SO glad that information about the logistical side of the art world resonates with you. I am sick and tired of people telling artists to 'show up every day' and 'do the work.' There is just so much that goes into an art career. I am writing a piece about 'art movements' and how the artists who created these movements did work but also did a lot of self-initiated shows and critiqued the work of their peers. This helped everyone grow, get shows, and be successful!
Really interesting article. You have especially highlighted why authenticity and honing in on personal experience and emotion is so important in artwork; the more genuine and from the heart it is, the more successful it will be, because people interact with and respond to humanity.

I have to be honest, whenever I say I don't want to talk about money it's because I don't have any left!
