Being Seen: Networking for Artists (#148)

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.
