I can’t tell you how beneficial this video is. I went to two university art schools around 30-40 years ago. Neither of them addressed any of this information whatsoever. I’ve had a friend that exhibited artwork so I’ve been on the periphery of it a little bit. But as for myself, I’ve never known exactly how to go about it. This information is invaluable. I’m a retired therapist, but I’ve continued to make art in several mediums on and off my whole life. My living room area has always been an art studio. I don’t have the energy due to health concerns now to pursue a professional career, but I would enjoy becoming a part of the arts community where I live, and even show my work 😀Thank you SO much. It’s a damned shame that this wasn’t taught in school.
I am finding this is the case everywhere with art schools, it’s systemic. We did a stream about it, I think you might relate: ua-cam.com/video/o8VZf9uVwFM/v-deo.html -Prof Lieu
i am both laughing and sobbing at the "I'm so glad I'm not a sculptor" comment. my life is overflowing with boxes filled with excessively fragile sculptures with tiny tiny easily breakable fingers.
Just watched this video because it feels very relevant as think I'm accidentally moving towards a first exhibition. I find the idea very scary, but I also think I need to do it because it creates a goal that really motivates me to think about how to do things better. Very useful and interesting video, thank you.
SO BENIFICIAL! The commentary and both answered all the questions I didn't know I needed. THANK YOU! Funny enough, I have a private/not so private petpeeve with the "Thank you and please" lacking in our society, so THANK YOU both for making me feel like I'm not the only one totally flustered and confused by the lack of such a simple statement. Oh, I am part of a group exhibition next week and I WAS seriously considering no going.. eek, but you have changed my mind. I'm going to look for your podcast now.
Just catching up with this one, when I lived in Vermont, a friend suggested we do a joint show at a coffee shop. She pulled out at the last minute, but my sudden “solo” show was a big success! That led to an invitation at a regional show. I didn’t even have pricing! It didn’t occur to me to sell anything. Sold one anyway!
I feel like this video is exactly what I need right now - I’ve had so many questions answered in this that no one can seem to answer. THANK YOU!!! Wish I had found Art Prof sooner.
I used to work as a custom framer, in my opinion the best way to approach framing a piece is to think of it as an extension of your artwork - what elements can you draw from the piece and implement in the mats/fillets/frame. There are certain situations where you’ll probably want something super basic (white/black frame with a white mat) One of my favourite things to tell people about my time as a framer is how I sold 2 separate people burlap mat for their pieces - the first customer had a cute little beach scene painting, burlap mat with a white frame made it look incredible! The second customer had an art print of some farm equipment that had a grain bag in it, burlap mat with a desaturated brown top mat in a frame that resembled barn wood, made it look like the artist behind the print intended for it to come like that! Man, I miss being a framer
This is very good advice! I love how two people got the same burlap mat and it drew out different but equally satisfying connotations for both artworks! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Neil by the time Picasso was 16 he was already on his second cycle of his transformation as an artist so if you want to beat Picasso you need to worry about exhibiting at the best places .
Thank you so much for all your valuable info! I enjoy your channel very much😊 may I ask..how do you feel about a galleries invitatie to be represented in a group exhibition at a (bigger) fair. Charged fee to be represented is 1000 euro...about 40 artist are in...I , as a bezinning artist, am kind of lost wether this could be ""normal"? Thanks! Have a bright weekend:)
@@artprof Thank you so much for responding! Sorry...I Just saw it now:). Very clear advice. Thank you for that too. Have a wonderful day..lots of succes with your great channel and of course best wishes to you and your loved ones!🙂😇🍀🍀🍀
I LOVE 'the work" involved in achieving a goal, from learning it to showing it professionall and/or selling it. Having this "work" to do gives you a purpose and a goal. It's great. Beyond ego, creativity or anyhting else. it is the natural progression doing something, becoming better at it, and achieving the final goal of sales or professional looking art.
It's true, it's a beautiful experience (with any passion), to look back years later and see the journey you've been growing on. ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
It can be days, to weeks, to months! I usually wait a couple months before emailing again, but the timing probably depends on the immediacy of your request. It's always good to follow up! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

OMG I'm rewatching this and my art will be exhibited this Feb 10! crazy to think that I first watched this live when I was in high school lol

It's nuts to research the early stages of an artist, especially if you're older than them! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thanks a lot🙏😉😍!!! For your generous charing of your knowledge!!! Best wishes from Sweden!

Hi! Those are “vanity galleries” which I don’t recommend; any gallery that charges you any fee to exhibit isn’t a good idea. -Prof Lieu

This is awesome. Really learnt many things. Whew! got my work cut out.
Glad we can help! -Prof Lieu
❤ Very informative…Thanks!
You are so welcome! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
It’s ok to be an artist but you do know you need to know business too right? 🥴
Oh yes, it's more than half of it! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
How long should we wait to hear back from a gallery normally? :< I don't wanna seem pushy or disrespectful by emailing again
