Episode 263: After The Exhibit

Rebecca Crowell — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 20:00:00 -0500

It’s what so many artists work toward—a solo exhibit or small group show-- when a large body of work is shown at its best, to an appreciative audience. Preparation for an exhibit like that can take months, even years. Slowly you produce the work, experiencing everything from panic to satisfaction as the finished pieces for your exhibit accumulate. It can be both a draining and exhilarating experience as you head toward the finish line. Finally, your show opens, and then what? You have a few weeks or a month of receiving congratulations and feedback, hoping for sales, celebrating when they happen, and then rather suddenly, it’s all over. Today we’ll talk about the aftermath of an exhibit, a time to process what you’ve accomplished and consider what’s next.

Exhibits are milestones in your art career, and it's important to take some time to process your accomplishment, by observing how you feel about the work that was exhibited. Take some time to appreciate seeing the work as a body, hanging together, and to consider what might be next. What has changed in your vision and intentions?

Many artists also experience a lull or creative block following the big push of having an exhibit. Although this can be frustrating, this downtime can also be beneficial as a time to rest and find your way back into your work. You may need to step back to gather new ideas and energy. Keep your long-term goals in mind but allow yourself some time off.

The issues of sales also tends to occupy you in the post-exhibit period. Friends will inquire, and your own finances may cause you to feel anxious about having some income from the show. But try to remember that sales are not the measure of a good exhibit. There are too many factors influencing whether sales happen to use them as a gauge of success.

Nobody but the artist really understands everything that goes into producing an exhibit. Your own perspective is the most important and that needs to be focused on the big picture of your work, what you've learned and where your work may be heading. There can be a lot of distractions around a show—sales, publicity, contacts, exposure. A lot of that is exciting and can lead to new opportunities, but in the end, you go back to your studio and work. You are not the same artist you were before you went through this process, and it's time to move on.

Episode 259: Surviving Your Opening

Rebecca Crowell — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 21:00:00 -0500

Art openings are fun, right? Your friends and family are there to celebrate, your work is beautifully displayed, you meet new people who are interested in what you do, and you may see some red dots appear. So why do so many artists approach their opening receptions with mixed feelings or even dread? Even if you feel excited about the show and grateful for the opportunity to exhibit, you may feel nervous about being in the spotlight, confused about what’s expected of you, or disappointed by a small turnout. Even openings that live up to your highest expectations can feel overwhelming. Today we’ll take an inside look at how to survive and even enjoy your next art opening.

Although there are challenges, openings can also encompass many positive moments. It's exciting to see your work in its best light when it has been in your studio for weeks or months, largely unseen. There is often an elevated quality to the work to see it in this setting, and it is affirming of all your efforts to have your work appreciated by a wide audience.

Openings can be disconcerting though. It is easy to misread various aspects of what is happening around you, because there is often a party atmosphere rather than serious consideration of your work, and it may seem that no one cares to really look. There are also many unknown factors, for example, you often try to gauge what people think of your work or whether there will be any sales. And a commercial gallery has certain expectations that may be outside your comfort zone, like mingling and engaging with the people there.

To make things easier for yourself, there are various ways to make yourself more comfortable, like choosing the right outfit and having a camera handy to have something to do as you move around the gallery space. But of all the many tasks and business responsibilities artists need to handle, for many of us, our own openings are the among most challenging times. it depends a lot on personality whether you dread openings or take them in stride, but experience is also helpful. Openings do become routine over time, and you find your own ways to make them bearable and even fun.

Episode 258: Making Assumptions

Rebecca Crowell — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:00:00 -0500

As artists we are often in uncertain territory when dealing with the world of galleries, exhibits, and other opportunities, and leaning on assumptions --what we believe you know about a situation --can help you feel more grounded or confident. But when you find out you’ve misread a situation, you may be left feeling angry or frustrated, or blame yourself for not seeing things more clearly. How can you maintain your objectivity and identify your assumptions as you navigate the ups and downs of an art career? There are no easy answers but today we will offer some perspective on this tricky issue.

The definition of assumption is "something that is accepted or believed to be true, or as certain to happen, without proof." But proof is very hard to come by when dealing with unknown situations. Nobody can have proof of everything in their lives let alone in the variable and diverse art world. We all operate on plenty of assumptions in our attempts to further our art career.

But some assumptions can come from being naive or uniformed about the situation. Many opportunities in the art world are totally legitimate but many are not. Some are basically scams in that you’re being led astray on purpose. This means you can waste a lot of your resources because you trusted that a venue was working in your best interests. But even with legitimate venues and opportunities, we can be led astray by unrealistic expectations and assumptions.

You need to be aware of any assumptions about a situation that are blinding you to what is best for you. And communication is always key in understanding as clearly as you can how to navigate various situations, whether you're dealing with a gallery, arts organization, artist residency program, teaching opportunity, or any of the other myriad opportunities that may come your way.

No matter where you are in an art career you probably grapple with the pitfalls of expectations and assumptions. Because there are lots of different scenarios you will encounter, it's hard to be on track in every situation. Give yourself a break when you recognize you’ve let assumptions play too big a role. Nobody makes the right calls all the time, but we do learn from experience in identifying our own assumptions.

Episode 242: The Challenges of Consistency

Rebecca Crowell — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 22:00:00 -0600

As artists we know it’s important to be open to new ideas and changes—but for marketing purposes we’re also expected to have an identifiable style that is consistent and recognizable. This basic dilemma is frustrating when you have wide-ranging interests and like to explore new ideas or media. Your work can appear to be “all over the place” and seem to lack focus. At the other extreme, being overly concerned that your work is consistent can inhibit your growth as an artist.

These are issues that are contained in the idea of personal voice, in which you can have flexibility and change while working within the realm of what is meaningful in your work, that is, your core ideas and content. The search for basic intentions is an ongoing aspect of creative process but is more involved as an artist in is the beginning stages. The stage of incubation of core ideas may take years, and during that time, exploration and experimentation are essential at that time.

Marketing enters the picture when galleries and collectors need your work to be consistent and within parameters that define your style and approach. This allows them to market your work as a sort of brand. But allowing for your growth and changes when dealing with galleries is important. Growth that is the kind that evolves organically over time is typically more accepted. For you as the artist, understanding what makes your work consistent and building from that base is helpful. Working in series is an excellent path to this discovery.

This issue of consistency and growth is of those balancing acts that creativity requires, and it means we find individual solutions to that balance. Thinking of consistency as continuity and organic growth is a helpful idea that encompasses change and flexibility. Your work can move forward yet also have common threads. Those threads are what makes your work you, and unique.

Episode 229: Pricing Quandries

Rebecca Crowell — Sat, 12 Nov 2022 20:00:00 -0600

One of the trickiest issues that artists deal with is pricing their work. While there are some well-known, basic, and useful guidelines to follow, not all pricing situations are straightforward. Artists also encounter situations that may not have obvious answers—situations that are usually not addressed in basic art-business advice. When the situation is not clearcut, even experienced artists can find themselves feeling indecisive or worried they are charging too much or too little. Today we will talk about some of the pricing situations you may encounter that are challenging, and factors to consider when you run into them.

Most of us are aware of the standard practices for most pricing situations, which are easily available online or from those who teach about art business. These include pricing in an objective way, perhaps by the square inch, rather than doing it subjectively, based on personal preferences. Consistency in pricing across the various platforms you use and galleries that represent you is also important, as is raising your prices over time in small increments.

But overall, deciding about your prices can be challenging because financial decisions often come with emotional baggage. Your perception of how sales are going can challenge you to stay objective in both your practices and attitudes about pricing. Depending on outside validation for your sense of the worth of your work can either enhance or tear down your self-esteem as an artist, depending on whether things are going well. But since there will always be fluctuations in your sales, maintaining a practical approach to prices can keep you on track emotionally.

While many sales situations are straightforward, others present difficult questions. These include selling to friends and family, establishing your policies for commissions, selling at open studio events, and deciding which geographic markets suit your own price points. Thinking ahead about these situations is helpful so you are not put on the spot and left to struggle to come up with the best reply. Anytime you can state a policy with assurance and clarity to a potential customer you build a little more self-esteem about your prices.

Episode 224: The Challenges of Exhibiting

Rebecca Crowell — Sat, 08 Oct 2022 21:00:00 -0500

Whether it’s your first exhibit or you are a veteran of many, an upcoming show of your work can take you on a wild ride of emotions and expectations. In anticipating the planning, production, and stress involved, you may even wonder, why bother? Yet for most artists, being able to show their work in a public space is important to their identity as artists. In today’s episode, we’ll look at the benefits and rewards of exhibiting and the role it plays in an art career, as well as some of the emotional and logistical challenges.

Showing their work is vital to most artists because it completes the circle of communication, allowing others to receive and respond. Creating and exhibiting a body of your work is a significant event that allows your audience to have a complete and immersive experience of what you do.

There are lots of logistical challenges that we covered in our previous episode (#223). But there are other, more inner issues to confront. For example, expectations for an immediate response and sales can fall flat. The opening reception often does not yield even a single sale since many people who attend regard it as mainly a social event. Especially if you are showing for the first time, it is important to understand that it may take a while for results. And even experienced artists may have exhibits that for one reason or another, fail to produce sales or leads.

Exhibits typically last three weeks or more and the period while it is up can be stressful as you wait for news and wonder how things will evolve. And sometimes sales happen well after the show ends. So as with many aspects of an art career, patience is important, and if things do not go well, know that your art life will go on, and other opportunities will come along.

Episode 223: Your Upcoming Exhibit

Rebecca Crowell — Sat, 01 Oct 2022 17:00:00 -0500

Nothing energizes and motivates an artist like being offered an exhibit, especially one that involves showing a lot of pieces together. Even experienced artists with a history of exhibits feel excited by the opportunity, but also a little daunted by all the work and planning involved. For artists preparing for their first big exhibit, there is a lot to learn and figure out. Today we’ll go through some of the practical aspects of preparing for a show, based on Rebecca’s almost 40 years of experience with exhibiting her work--and in a future episode we’ll consider some of the other challenges involved with showing your work.

There is much to consider in the complex process of mounting an exhibit, starting with deciding if you're ready to exhibit and whether it will be beneficial to you at this time, and how to approach a venue about providing you with the time and space to show your work. You may decide to apply to a non-commercial space like a community art center, or you may already be represented by a commercial gallery and request a slot on the roster of upcoming shows. In either case, preparing a body of work and checking off all the steps needed to make that happen takes considerable time and effort. Yet exhibiting your work is an important step in completing the cycle of creating art and providing the opportunity for an audience to see it.

Beyond simply providing the work for a show, your responsibilities in mounting an exhibit also include framing, packing, and shipping or delivering the work, providing your own publicity, and providing such things as your artist statement, price list, photos of the work, and other information to support the show according to the venue's timeline. Consider whether you have the time and willingness to comply with all expectations, and ideally, give yourself at least six months to a year to prepare. A good tip is to prepare more work than you think you will need for the exhibit so that you can curate the best possible grouping.

The amount of commitment needed for this process may seem daunting if you are just beginning this phase of your art career, but with experience it becomes more routine. But it is an important step. Maintaining an exhibition schedule is a mark of someone who is truly dedicated to their work, whether that is for the purpose of selling it or not. Exhibiting is a mark of your desire to share the work that you are proud of.

Episode 221: Creative Momentum

Rebecca Crowell — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 19:00:00 -0500

Studio practice has noticeable ebbs and flows in terms of productivity, sales, exhibiting and marketing. There is also an energy flow that is less specific and harder to quantify that runs through our days in the studio. Sometimes our energy is strong, and we feel carried along by ideas and excitement, and other times we feel sluggish, lack ideas, and must push ourselves to even go to the studio. When we lose creative momentum, it’s hard to feel we’re doing our best work. What is creative momentum, and how can we create and sustain it?

The official definition of momentum is in terms of physics and it is rather technical. In simple words, momentum has to do with the mass of an object that produces motion. If an object is moving, then an object has momentum, and something with a lot of momentum is hard to stop. In this case the word has a much more popular, non-technical use, and that's how we want to address it today. Creative momentum is the feeling of flow and energy in your work that keeps you excited, involved, and motivated in the studio. It's when you and your work are a positive force in motion.

Creative momentum is affected by events in your life and creative cycle and recognizing what the reasons are when you find yourself losing it. If you're typically a person with energy and focus, when you lose that it can be distressing. But we all tend to return to what is normal for us and it is helpful to understand that this loss of momentum is temporary. You can also help maintain momentum by looking for the continuity in your work. When you realize that your work continues despite ups and downs it can provide optimism.

Experiencing a break in your momentum is a very common--even inevitable--issue, with various causes, and unfortunately, it can easily lead to a general malaise and a period of self-criticism. But it is interesting to consider momentum in physics terms when this happens. Our episode today may help you think about energy, motion, and loss of motion in a more objective way, because while these are scientific principles, all of these can also be applied in some ways to an art practice.

Episode 216: The Personal and The Professional

Rebecca Crowell — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 13:00:00 -0500

In every field of work, there are some interactions that are professional and some that can be more personal, and the lines between them are not always clear. How casual, how revealing, how personal can you be while keeping a businesslike and professional attitude? In an art career, this issue impacts your interactions in many ways—in talking with dealers and collectors, when you give talks and interviews, in setting the tone of your website, and any time you are meeting the public. Today we’ll talk about the boundaries between personal and professional situations in an art career.

Self-promotion is an important area in which personal and professional may collide. We are often advised in marketing art to be personal, to tell our story, to let our audience into our private lives to some extent. At the same time, setting boundaries around what we choose to reveal and be open about can provide a comfort level for both our audience and ourselves. Treating professionalism as your default mode is preferable in almost any situation in which you are presenting yourself to the public.

Specific situations in which crafting a professional image include making posts on social media, creating your website, and in your relationships with galleries. For some people, feeling a little insecure and wanting to make a good impression can lead to over-sharing, while others with similar fears back away from revealing anything personal that could help others understand their work.

Understanding the audience you are aiming to attract is important, especially if you are hoping to engage with galleries, curators, and collectors who have high professional standards. We do need to be ourselves in interacting with people interested in our work, which after all is personal, and where our ideas come from are impoirtant. But in public contexts erring on the side of being more formal, more reserved, and more dignified is a good strategy. If you are showing your work, selling your work, you need to have a bit of remove from the work, an objectivity, and that is best expressed by knowing the boundaries around professional behavior.
