An artist/ painter who wants to sell their artwork must enter the marketplace, a highly structured world made up of many networks. There are two ways to enter; haphazardly or with a plan. Unfortunally, most artists enter haphazardly, which means short stays and unhappy endings.
Entering the marketplace with a plan means that your tools are lined up and your psyche is tuned up. How well is tuned up your psyche depends on how thoroughly you have rejected the myth of the artist, have developed personal goals, and have been willing to act on these goals and get yourself moving.
Self - validation has great staying power compared to the type of validation that artists / painters often seek from the art world. Validation awaeded from the art world is frickle, volatile, often irrational, and usually short - lived.
When external validation is bestowed, the recipient migth feel ecstatic, making one concluded that whatever sacrifices were made, and whatever time and money were spent, it had been worth it. BUT FOR SOME artists / not seeking maintream validation, it cannot through the traditional gallery - museum system, but through alternative means.
whats wrong with that if that is want the artists wants. besides traditional galleries and museums don't represent what the best artwork is. it is all agenda driven. what sells, who can bring in the larger sponsors and who can make money for me. locally, it is about who likes you and....
Yeah right... then, ask mr $409 - Mark Clark Why He does what He does !
what do you mean?
Unfortunately, the National Artists Equity's guidelines are enforced by a minority of organizations and it is a more likely than most juried shows not only charge entry fees, artworks are not insured. The B. M.F.A. will be having an exhibit simply called the International art show, so many questions had been asked in the past, but now even more are still been asked; Who is in charge of that place, why so many changes, why so many are gone, why and who is behind all these changes, why do they keep all of thhis in secret ??? ... our community had always been one that just looks the other way, not wanting to know that real truth, They will rather get a path in their shoulders and feeling that by living here in the U.S.A. is just a "Great Accomplished Dream ".
True, so go up and attend a board meeting anf ask yo speak and address your concerns or wait for ther path.
Some artists / painters have no problem working but begin the retionalization process when it comes time for their art work to leave the studio and enter the marketplace. To insure yourself against expereiencing any form of rejection, you begin to rationalize your work isn't ready, you don't have enough work to show, you don't fit into any of the latest Tex - Mex border trends.
You are working for your own pleasure and do not want to derive money from art, and no ignorant will understand your artwork anyway-- it's too deep !!!
Who cares about the marketplace. The last paragraph, solid
